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.

I'm not really sure what the ideology behind this is...? I think it's really interesting that the station and bar do this mutual advertising, but maybe using Pentadic would be better? Unless you're implying that the ideology of the station and bar is to make money off of each other?If that's the case then maybe you could include more examples/information about other methods of using each other and not just the live-broadcasting thing.
ReplyDeleteI was a little confused about how to select an artifact at first and how apply the method. But what I was getting at was the part of them both making money off of eachother.

ReplyDeleteI think that Bar Norfolk makes a good artifact. It is not too broad so there alot of ideas you can come up with to write about. One question I would ask, is if the bars tactic is good enough to bring people in or will it give people reason to sit home and listen to it on the radio while having their own party and saving money? I, myself might show up for the live music, the popular people, and the social aspect of it. I think that the announcement uses enough forms to criticize rhetorically and develope a thousand word essay.
