Journal Entry 1

Message Summary
My message is that I wish to convince my audience to try a new product from a restaurant chain. Specifically, the product is to appeal to those who wish to try something different. The message will also direct my audience to a relevent supplementary social media account.

Treatment for Video

douglasmiller310 — 2021-03-31 00:45:12 UTC

Working Title - Crazy Buffalo Chicken Pizza
Duration - Between 30 & 60 seconds
Target Audience - Adolescents to Young Adults (16 - 24) Both male and female
Outline - A narrator, styled after similar commercials of the 1990s, incities both male and female attendees of a party, who are visibly bored and disinterested in their surroundings. The off-screen narrator summons a pizza, clearly putting the partygoers into an ecstatic state. The narrator talks of how delicious the pizza is, while the partygoers indulge in the pizza, and are having a great time with the delicious taste. The narrator then addresses the audience, remarking on the improvement to the party that this pizza brought. The narrator then directs viewers to a website, and an in character Twitter account for more "Crazy Buffalo Action".

Target Audience
My target audience ranges from 15-28, both males and females, although males will likely be more receptive. I will specifically target these people through an ironic campaign, that plays into the more modern internet style of humour, hopefully coming across as genuine, without becoming pandering (Which will defeat the purpose of the advertisement).

Journal Entry 3

In order to appeal to a young audience, a brand must build a sense of intimacy and loyalty with this audience (Syrett & Lamminman, 2004 pp. 62 - 65). To do this, I will need to play into the culture of youth, and also, make a call to action regarding a social media platform, allowing this same audience to communicate and interact with the brand in a similar fashion to most fast food franchises and , which have built successful social media presence on platforms such as Twitter. As discussed by Taylor (2018, pp. 166-167) a quirky/offbeat sense of humour is a key way to appeal to the milennial market, which is a key. Tanyel, Stuart and Griffin (2013, pp. 652) note that companies have become more dependent on the Internet for their advertising.

Journal Entry 4 - Inspiration 1

douglasmiller310 — 2021-04-04 01:39:14 UTC

At 20:28, SleepyCabin (2018) member Mick engages in a skit for a hypothetical pizza product, which served as the main inspiration for its style of humour and general structure. My final product will likely bear similarities to this, especially in tone.

Journal Entry 4 - Inspiration 2

douglasmiller310 — 2021-04-04 01:53:45 UTC

To advertise Sonic Mania a throwback, 90s inspired title, SEGA (2016) created this online advertisement to promote the collector's edition of the game. This ad has an odd, almost surreal sense of humour, and the nonsensical properties advertised, with the obvious reason being mentioned last and as a bonus of sorts, is an idea that greatly resonated with me, and I am likely to incorporate into my own second assignment.

Journal Entry 4 - Inspiration 3

douglasmiller310 — 2021-04-04 02:07:46 UTC

From this Pizza Hut (1990) commercial, I intend to draw a similar style of narration. The shots of the pizza are also of nore, and I will likely frame it the same way in my commercial.
