EOC WEEK 3: TOBACCO


  
·       1. Determine the scenario: What happens in this frame?
The couple shown in this advertisement are smoking, together. They are lost in one another, looking in each other’s eyes. I like this shot because it almost serves as a candid versus posed. 
·       2. What is the setting? What are the conditions?
It appears they are in a bright yellow room. The conditions look good and comfortable.
·       3. Who are the people or groups?
There is a man and a woman.  Appears that they may be upper to middle class citizens. They are both good looking and appealing.  This advertisement is effective. It sends a message to men and women. The model in this advertisement is beautiful. Her lashes are long and makeup clean. She is natural and flawless. On top of all these qualities she’s also smoking. It’s a great influence to buy this brand. 
·       4. What is their point of view around this specific experience?
The point of view is third person. The consumer is looking on almost as a voyeur.   The characters portrayed have the point of view as the first and second person.
·       5. What are their goals?
The goal and the purpose are to have the “on-looker” aka the consumer desire that lifestyle. The franchise wants consumers to envy the models in the advertisement. It is this envy that motivates consumers to make purchases. 
·       6. What are their assumptions? What are their perceptions?
Here are a couple assumptions. Men want women to want them. The fact that he is smoking makes him look “sexy’ or “cool”.  Women want to be glamorous and have men chasing them. The perception is flavored tobacco is good and enjoyable. The perception is that nothing is wrong with smoking, in fact, it’s trending.
·       7. Are there conflicts? Is there cooperation?
I don’t see a conflict. The advertisement gels well together. Shows good cooperation.
·       8. What are the outcomes?
The outcome is success. People want to be beautiful. Period.
