Above is the trailer for The Leap Years. Theres been like at least 1 ad on this movie every single hour on TV. Not that I'm complaining, but the score (I think thats the word for the music in a movie, right?) of the movie is stuck in my head now. If anything, it makes me wanna catch this movie just because of the tunes. Hope the movie isn't bad though, the trailer and the score really makes you curious about the movie...I even got the release date of the movie memorised: 29th Feb. See how powerful the trailer is? :)
Speaking of ads, I often have a question in mind when I see an ad on TV; does it really work? I mean is it effective? On my adventures in Stone World (more about that another day...), I often think what makes the TV a popular choice for advertisers to put their ad on. There are some ads that just get stuck in your head and there are some ads that you can never recall. Example of good ads? The Leap Years ad and the Mocca ads.
Above is one of the extremely distinctive Mocca ads. I swear, I will never forget this ad in my life...some people even memorise what the hunk (I suppose you can say that... :S) said. Anyways, except for some exceptions, you will forget most ads on the TV unless they really appeal to you or are just simply funny. But the big question is...why are they willing to pay so much just for their ads to appear on TV? It only appears like maybe 30 mins a day (a wild guess) and not like on the newspapers which appears 'forever' for that day's edition, at least. Hmm. Wait...now, when I'm writing this blog, I know why suddenly (There! Blogging, stoning and watching TV all at once helps you think! :P). Simply because of the reason that humans are attracted to things that move. An ad on the newspaper wouldn't attract your attention much unless you're flipping over the pages very slowly. However, an ad on the TV totally captures the viewers (most of the time). On the other hand, whether it leaves a deep impression on the viewer is another thing though...
I hope I'm not boring you readers. :) You guys deserve a pat on the back for reading all the way till here. I'm not a very good writer, blogger for this matter, but I'm trying my best to improve! :D (I understand why 77 said my posts are like essays now...this particular post is damn, damn long :S) Ok, I got my stoning urges now. Gotta go stone and study for the PoA test now (Wish us luck!). I'll just leave you guys with a few last words: Stoning is a good habit you should pick up ( :P No joke there...it has many advantages, like it helps you think; Gonna state all its advantages on the next post). Stoning for the win!
Stoning Out,
