The ultimate goal of any commercial or advertisement is to persuade an audience to buy a product. In order to do that, ads often invoke certain ideas about lifestyle, desire, necessity, and tradition. You first formal assignment is to choose an advertisement and perform a close rhetorical analysis of how that ad functions. You may choose anything from a movie trailer to a television commercial to a print ad. While performing your analysis, take into consideration the three appeals and how they come together to create a unique message in your ad. Consider the rhetorical situation and the cultural implications behind the way the ad functions.
Keep the following questions in mind when crafting your rhetorical analysis:
• What is the rhetorical situation?
• Who is the author/speaker?
• What is being advertised?
• What is his/her intention in speaking?
• Who is the target audience?
• What is the exigence? What are the constraints?
• What is the content of the message?
• What is the form in which it is conveyed?
• How do form and content correspond?
• Does the message/speech/text succeed in fulfilling the author's/speaker's intentions?
• What does the nature of the communication reveal about the culture that produced it?
If you are struggling to figure out where to start, take a look at the Rhetorical Analysis Checklist and try taking some notes while you watch your advertisement.
Remember: Do not focus on whether or not you are persuaded by the speaker/author. Focus only on how the speaker conveys their message.
