The promotional video will begin with various men, aged 20+ from the working class in experiencing various misfortunes- something that is not typically shown as a situation in which flowers .

- People in bad situations as opposed to people in good situations e.g. typically flowers are given as a sort of congratulatory gift therefore, people who receive flowers regularly would view them as nice gifts whereas people who don't would view them as silly and unnecessary 
- flowers are typically given to women, therefore, men would have a different perspective on flowers ]]> 2019-03-28 05:47:36 UTC https://padlet.com/petcy026/k5p5686jnm7n/wish/345991979 Message petcy026 https://padlet.com/petcy026/k5p5686jnm7n/wish/345992107 "Flowers for everyone and every occasion." Within this message I hope to challenge the conception that flowers are strictly for women and are a representation of femininity. I am aiming to engage audiences with this message and allow men to feel included in the promotion rather than excluded.

]]> 2019-03-28 05:48:49 UTC https://padlet.com/petcy026/k5p5686jnm7n/wish/345992107 Interest petcy026 https://padlet.com/petcy026/k5p5686jnm7n/wish/345997193 how will the audience be interested in it? 
I hope to engage the audience through the use of humour. By reversing the typical message of flowers being sold primarily for special occasions such as weddings, funerals etc. and selling flowers for every occasion. The audience will feel intrigued as the product will no longer be viewed as a luxury and will instead be advertised as something more accessible to everyday people. ]]> 2019-03-28 06:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/petcy026/k5p5686jnm7n/wish/345997193 Similar Promotional videos: Keep the Bromance Alive petcy026 https://padlet.com/petcy026/k5p5686jnm7n/wish/346002442 This campaign was used to promote road safety using a humorous take on stereotypical male behaviour and the concept of toxic masculinity. Similarly, my promotional will focus on challenging certain stereotypes and assumptions around men. Therefore, I have taken inspiration from this advertisement and the tools it has used to engage the target audience.]]> 2019-03-28 07:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/petcy026/k5p5686jnm7n/wish/346002442 Similar Promotional Videos: Like a Girl petcy026 https://padlet.com/petcy026/k5p5686jnm7n/wish/346003242 This advertisement shatters the assumptions and stereotypes surrounding girls and their ability to do various things in comparison to boys, for example, being brave. The stereotype of being the "damsel in distress" is questioned in this advertisement and therefore prompts the audience to do the same. I hope to achieve a similar effect in my promotional video, in which I am going to promote flowers to a target audience of males, who are consistently excluded from flower promotions due to the fact that their masculinity may be undermined. This is a notion I am aiming to directly challenge in my promotional video. ]]> 2019-03-28 07:17:37 UTC https://padlet.com/petcy026/k5p5686jnm7n/wish/346003242 Similar Promotional Videos- Lynx: less effort, more style petcy026 https://padlet.com/petcy026/k5p5686jnm7n/wish/346003448 Typically advertisements for mens products show a traditionally toxic view of masculinity. These types of promotions are often focused on men who are straight and are therefore "manly." This message excludes so much of the male audience and therefore alienates them. However, in this promotion for Lynx body spray they have decided to include gay men in their narrative and have therefore broadened their target audience and shown they are a progressive brand that recognises and includes all men. ]]> 2019-03-28 07:18:40 UTC https://padlet.com/petcy026/k5p5686jnm7n/wish/346003448 Research petcy026 https://padlet.com/petcy026/k5p5686jnm7n/wish/348371947
This article suggests that flowers are deeply personal and are relatable enough to us that we can actually have a specific flower matches to our personality. Using this tactic of relatability in my promotional video will allow me to better persuade my target audience to buy flowers. https://www.buzzfeed.com/hattiesoykan/flower-personality-quiz 

This pdf provides examples of progressive gender portrayals in advertising. In reading and understanding this article I am able to draw inspiration from existing pieces of work that achieve a similar affect to that I am striving to achieve.

general positivity, however extremely stereotyped to be exclusively for women
How do you want them to feel prior to viewing your video?
I want the audience to feel open minded as the video will challenge the stereotypes surrounding flowers as well as masculinity, therefore once the audience views my promotional video I hope they feel their views have been changed or at least challenged 
What tones/emotions will you need to convey to convince your audience of your promotional video?
I will include tones of humour and positivity throughout my video to raise awareness to the toxicity of traditional ideas of masculinity and thereby promote flowers to a whole new demographic 
Which colours best represent these emotions? why?
Colours such as yellow will reflect positivity and warmth towards the ideas I am striving to promote in this video. I also believe green would be a great colour to include as it promotes peace. 
Which fonts best represent these emotions? Why? 
I think playful fonts would be most effective as they would represent the lightheartedness of the video]]> 2019-04-04 06:31:01 UTC https://padlet.com/petcy026/k5p5686jnm7n/wish/348381587 typography psychology petcy026 https://padlet.com/petcy026/k5p5686jnm7n/wish/348384211 https://www.dafont.com/prisma.font

Through further research  I discovered pure colour, which is typically characterised as being "cheerful" and "bright".  
I decided a pure colour such as yellow would definitely be appropriate for the message of my promotional video. As I am promoting flowers for all people, but more specifically for male audiences that have been traditionally excluded from flower advertisements. As I am striving to challenge the stereotype of flowers being associated with women/femininity I want my audience to feel positive about embracing this message. Therefore, yellow as a pure colour will suit my promotion perfectly.
