         <description><![CDATA[<p>The colours and title font are romantically coded. Pinks and reds are often associate with love, and the font is serif and quirky, and akin to those used on romantic comedy posters and books. Red is also Budweisers brand colour, so this is also a marketing element. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The woman (wife) depicted in the advert is a typical representation of females at this time (1950’s). Although she is probably dressed for bed, her gown is still beautiful and elegant, and she is still wearing makeup and her hair is done up and adorned with bows.  Women at this time were expected to always be presentable and respectable, with their hair and makeup done and well dressed. They were also expected to bend to their husbands every need. </p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>'What a kiss I got that night'</p><p>Worded as if this was the woman's prize, she's earned her husband's affection.</p><p><br/></p><p>The font is one that would typically be described as quite feminine, romantic and flirty, almost as if it's aimed at women. When linked to the statement itself (what a kiss I got that night) it's almost as if it were chosen to draw other females in. I think this ad would've been aimed at both Men and Women, men would have been pulled in by the Budweiser branding, and women by the house style including font, colours, wording and imagery.</p><p>This advert has been created with different goals in mind and by using different elements, all of which manipulates the audiences desires, showing women what they should be doing and what they could gain from it, and showing and telling men what they could have and want to expect from their wife. The actual meaning behind the image is just a loving husband and wife, but it is used a strategy to manipulate and sell. (John Berger's Ways of Seeing Theory, 1972)</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>'to go along with my snacks'</p><p>'my snacks' implies that it was the woman's task to prepare the food, which was a typical female role at this time. It's as if she is ticking off her checklist of things to do for her husband. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>'Actually Budweiser reminded me...' this is smart selling technique and a way to boost the brand. It markets them as 'the brand' to choose and share with people. </p><p>It implies that Budweiser has such a strong presence that one look is enough to 'save the day'. </p><p> I have perceived the first part of the statement as taking credit away from the woman. They're implying that she didn't remember and was only reminded of her husband needing beverages when seeing Budweiser, thus creating the notion that the woman may not have been 'switched on' enough to remember on her own accord, which is supported by the ideology at the time that women weren't as smart as men.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>We can see a man embracing a woman in a very romantic, exciting embrace. This is supported by the tagline. The image appeals to both men and women. Men would be interested in looking at the woman, who his well dressed and 'done up' and has a tay of beer and snacks next to her. The would've been men's typical 'ideal' of a woman at the time. I think Laura Mulvey's Male Gaze Theory supports this, as the woman is clearly positioned and presented in a way to attract males desire, and the man in the advert is showing pleasure. The man is depicted as physically dominant which was a common male representation at the time.</p><p> A woman would be attracted to the representation of romance, and potentially the pretty couch and tableware, along with the clothes and representation of the 'woman's' task at the time- being domesticated and providing food and drinks. </p><p>John Berger's Ways of Seeing theory also ties into this in different ways, especially through cultural and social influence at the time with the way men and women were 'supposed to be' at the time, to class and race. The gender representation in this advert is very clear and supported by this theory, the woman is shown as passive and being dominated by the male, which she is shown to enjoy (audience is being told this is normal and should be enjoyed) and the woman is posed as the object to be looked at (dress, heels, hair, makeup, elegant pose).</p>]]></description>
