This target audience is not particularly gender-specific and this will help highlight how the animals are being saved on a large scale.

 The plan to capture the target audiences attention is to have a spoken word about a foundation with soft music, this will help highlight the animals used in this foundation. This will help grab the audience's attention as well as show the harsh reality on how our furry friends are getting left scared and alone.]]> 2020-03-12 03:21:37 UTC https://padlet.com/cawly001/igekiglj7ua2/wish/458869365 Colour Scheme cawly001 https://padlet.com/cawly001/igekiglj7ua2/wish/468688324 As this is a foundation I have chosen to stick with the same colour palette as the cat adoption foundation has used. It is quite soft and as the colouration is quite bold and will help the video stand out. This colour scheme will also tye in with the theme of hope as these colours are not referred to as sad colours they are often related to joyful times. Using the blues will create a sense of security and peace to the target audience and the hint of pink to infatuated love and beauty is to further persuade the audience into adopting a cat. ]]> 2020-03-21 05:31:19 UTC https://padlet.com/cawly001/igekiglj7ua2/wish/468688324 Tone cawly001 https://padlet.com/cawly001/igekiglj7ua2/wish/487917066
  • How does your target audience feel about your product before they’ve seen your video?
    • The target audience feels passionate about adopting animals such as kittens or cats and they have a positive outlook on how to save cats. But they don't know exactly where to go and adopt cats from in Adelaide. 
    • How do you want them to feel after they’ve seen your video?
    I want the target audience to feel empowered and have a want to go to get in contact with the cat adoption foundation after watching the promotional video has ended. I also want the audience to have a sense of empathy towards the abandon cats in the shelter.
    • What tone/s or emotion/s will you need to convey to convince your audience of your promotional message?
    To convince my target audience to adopt from cat adoption foundation I will need to focus and convey moods such as empathy, happiness, hope, a bit of sadness, a caring feeling and an overall feeling of warmth. Also, the tones I need to introduce in the promotional video are a sense of wanting to make a change to a cats life and this should lead onto the call to action.

I find both of these headings are very clean and they will look nice on the website, also I find they will work well with the colour scheme chosen. These type fonts are not aggressive fits they are quite soft and harmless towards the target audience creating a welcoming feel to the video and website.]]> 2020-04-02 02:09:27 UTC https://padlet.com/cawly001/igekiglj7ua2/wish/487941749 Academic references/ Annotated Biblography cawly001 https://padlet.com/cawly001/igekiglj7ua2/wish/494492770

    This Research article explores and compares two categories of adopted cats: Stray and owner-surrendered. This article explains the differences between a stray cat and owner-surrendered cats and why one category is more likely to be adopted than the other. This source is useful because it explains why some cats are adopted and others are not. it also helps explain the nature and behaviour that differs from cat to cat. Also, this leads on to the fact that this pushes the fact that I am able to understand that there is a certain amount of bias to get the adopt a pet that has come from home, then a cat that has come from the streets.

    Fantuzzi, J.M., Miller, K.A. and Weiss, E., 2010. Factors relevant to the adoption of cats in an animal shelter. Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science, 13(2), pp.174-179.

    This research article displays the different factors that surround adopting a cat and how this may impact a person who wants to adopt an animal. This source helped me because it explains why some cats personality traits such as playfulness and friendliness impacts which cat gets adopted. Also, the other factors that impact the adaptability of a cat include the breed and the age. This explains helps me understand how the adoption process works with cats and how an owner chooses their animal.

    Markowitz, DM 2020, ‘Putting your best pet forward: Language patterns of persuasion in online pet advertisements’, Journal of Applied Social Psychology, vol. 50, no. 3, pp. 160–173.

    This source explains the persuasion techniques used by online pet adoption agencies and how many language persuasion techniques are used in several advertisements. This helps in the project as I will be able to learn the psychology behind an advertisement to adopt a pet. This source helps in the fact I will be able to construct a plan of attack to be able to persuade the target audience to adopt a pet from an adoption shelter.

    Neidhart, L & Boyd, R 2002, ‘Companion Animal Adoption Study’, Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science, vol. 5, no. 3, pp. 175–192

    This research source analyses the companionship between the adopted pet and the owner. This source goes through many different stages that a new owner of an adopted animal may face. This source is helpful to my research as it allows an overview of what happens after an animal has been adopted and how the owners may cope with having a new addition to their family.

    Skernivitz, Stephanie 2011, ‘Examining risks to cats from shelter stress, low adoption rates.(Feline care)’, DVM Newsmagazine, vol. 42, no. 7, p. 52

    This research article explains why different adopted cats suffer from high-stress levels when they are in an adoption shelter to when they are in the car on the way home. The source helps me examine what may go through a rescue cats mind on a way to a new place with new people surrounding it. This source also explains the psychology of the cats past and why they may stress when moving homes.

So this leads me on to the fact I want to focus on a rescue shelter in Adelaide called the Cat Adoption Foundation As they are a not-for-profit foundation dedicated to rescuing kittens and cats.]]> 2020-04-08 04:47:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cawly001/igekiglj7ua2/wish/497989016 I Want.... cawly001 https://padlet.com/cawly001/igekiglj7ua2/wish/497996062 An advertisement designed to pull on the heartstrings.

    I want to capture the target audiences attention by creating a one of a kind connection between the volunteer and the cat, this will help create a happy emotion to the target audience. I also want to capture the audience's attention by creating a warm fuzzy feeling around the cats so, for example, having a cat that is purring asleep will help capture this feeling and generate emotion for the target audience.
    Interest:
    The target audiences interest in the topic of adopting rescue animals is quite high, they like cats and they want to save cats and they like their nature of the animal. so, therefore, the target audiences are to save and adopt rescue cats.
    Desire:
    The main desire of owning a cat is to cuddle up to ten on a cold winters night at home. I want to capture that desire and use that to persuade the target audience to have that with a rescue cat. A way this can work is to have a cat either cuddled up asleep or have them playing in shots throughout the promotional video. this will create a desire to have a life-long best friend in a cat.
    Action:
    The call to action in this video is to make the audience want to go out and adopt a rescue cat from the cat adoption foundation. This will be achieved by using empathy and desire to persuade the watcher to call up the foundation and adopt a cat. Also by using the feeling of empathy for the rescue cat it will put the watcher into the cat's shoes and make them feel sorry for the animal and want to adopt them into their home.]]>     2020-04-08 09:58:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cawly001/igekiglj7ua2/wish/498383386     Treatment cawly001 https://padlet.com/cawly001/igekiglj7ua2/wish/498457166 This promotional video will showcase rescued cats from the cat adoption foundation. this will contrast the work of the volunteers and the new owners of a rescue cat this shows the connection built between the two.

    The video starts looking at the entrance of the building, with soft music to draw in a happy feeling of the adoption centre. The camera tracks forward as if the audience is walking inside the door which is greeted by a volunteer. The lighting is to be light and bright to create a welcoming feel to the building and then the camera pans out into the black. This is to open up into several different videos of cats young and old cuddled up, playing, held by volunteers. This will create the purpose of desire for the target audience to have that relationship with a cat. After this, the camera once again fades into black then to transition to a 'focal' cat and a bit of background on this cat and this will help the target audience connect to this animal. 

    Lastly, the camera will fade out the door into the logo of the cat adoption foundation with a call to action line said by one of the volunteers.]]>     2020-04-08 10:50:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cawly001/igekiglj7ua2/wish/498457166     Reserch - Typograph and Colour scheme cawly001 https://padlet.com/cawly001/igekiglj7ua2/wish/498501985 Lofgren L, 2019, 'The psychology of colour' , Quicksprout, veiwed 5 April 2020 <https://www.quicksprout.com/psychology-of-color/>
