The last big argument I had was with my parents. It wasn’t a big argument in the sense of there being yelling involved, but it’s still an ongoing discussion. I’ve been arguing with them over the topic of transferring to a different college. I like Texas State, but my dream growing up was to go to A&M and visiting there last weekend triggered something in me where I realized I was missing something here. My argument is that even though I know it will be tougher, I still think that they have a better program for me. My parents on the other hand argue that I won’t be able to handle it because of how tough it is — there’s more STEM based classes than art based classes that I would have to take for graphic design. I think that at the end of the day, no one was successful or unsuccessful because it’s still an ongoing argument. However, I think I have the upper hand in winning since my parents always tell me to do what I believe is right for me.
For my Essay 3 ads, I want to analyze the level of marketing for big budget movies using ads. The movie I plan on using is Star Wars: The Last Jedi, as at the time it was super hyped up and all the posters use the classic collage style movie poster, but also feature the color scheme of red and white. I would say that these posters use all three appeals. They establish credibility by being proven as not fake and legit from the company, with the logo on it. They also appeal strongly to emotion as they’re made to hype people up for the movie and attract them through showing off their favorite characters in the movie, with the looks and costumes giving a hint to their journey in the movie. The title itself is a characteristic of Ethos as it leaves a mystery — who is the last jedi? They also use logic in the sense each of these posters are designed to promote the fact that these movies were filmed in a format to experience it in not just a regular way, but in IMAX and 3D too. They promote that they were filmed in these formats.
