Bar Norfolk
Bar Norfolk
My artifact was about Z-104 broadcasting live from Bar Norfolk. During these live broadcast you can hear the music and all of the people in the bar. The purpose of the live broadcast is to make the listeners a home to feel like they are part of the party, and get them to visit Bar Norfolk.
The whole idea of this advertisement is to persuade the audience of listeners one way or another. To come join the party, make you feel apart of the good time they're having or to always continually let them be your number one choice.
As much fun and carefree as they make things sound the whole process is not. Both the broadcasting company and the Bar Norfolk have the motive of making money off of this event. The listeners are forced to listen to commercial advertisements, continually hear about Bar Norfolk, and keep you choosing Z-104 to listen to as their first choice. So with all of that it is kind of strange how something can be appear to be carefree and fun but really it is all about making money.
All of advertising are complete hidden messages. I went online and found that Bar Norfolk and Z-104 have a deal where they mutually advertise for themselves. Since they both make enough money from using each other. Meaning that Z-104 broadcast for free from Bar Norfolk.

Ideology
Ideology is the way of describing daily life. When someone talks about ideology it refers to when some one talks about how they can relate to the world and how they perceive on how the way some holds a conversation.
The procedures are selecting an artifact, analyzing the artifact, formulating a research question and writing an essay. This is a break down step by step process on how to fully analyze an idea and write about it. The essay portion is about the artifact making connections and is the final procedure that combines all the steps. For example in the essay you would take major themes that occur in the artifact. After selecting the major themes you would list examples of when that happens thouroughout the artifact to prove your point.

Three Artifacts
1. One fact that I think I could analyze using the ideological method of criticism is advertisements. I want to work in the radio business and advertisements are a crucial part of radio. All the organizations that sponsor the radio station are usually receive free advertising or companies/ organizations will pay to have advertising. One advertisement in particular that I hear often is for a local tiniting company. This company advertises tinting on automobiles. They explain how well of a job they do and have no physical proof to show, its only voices. They persuade their product by guaranteeing money back but other than that they have no proof or reputation to go by. In return for the radio show advertising for the tinting company they give the show discounts on their products to use as prizes for the listeners. This just guarantees the company more business and gives the radio show incentives.
2. Another artifact that I would consider analyzing is the movie Remember the Titans. I could talk about the problems with race, homosexuality and gender roles. For example I could talk about the signs that the homesexual football player and how contraversal it was during that time to be both.
3. The last fact I would consider analyzing is Broadcasting live from Bar Norfolk. This segment used to air on Friday and Saturday nights live from Bar Norfolk. They are trying to persuade listeners to come in by airing the excitement in the crowd or just making you feel like your part of the excitement. They way they guarantee a good time is not by showing a good time but listening to a good time.How they portray what a good time they are having is by the cheering of the audience.
