launch (2008) as the video is advertising their
console and games within the console set. The

console for all, that being children and adults or a
group of friends or a family – it fits into any criteria.
The advert is simple but effective, elements within
the advert allow the viewer to see the positive
overall effect the gaming console has on the
characters as there is an atmosphere of joy,
happiness and unity.The realism used in the video
allows the audience to imagine themselves in that
scenery if they were to have the product.

anything unrealistic, the use of fictional/unreal
situations or ideas.
This advert was released in 2008. The commercial
advertises NESTLE’s Smarties product as they promote

have no artificial colours. The video has a childlike
approach which perfectly suits their target audience as
Smarties is seen as treat for children. The ambience of
innocence the advert holds will encourage parents and
older viewers into believing that the product is not
harmful for infants. Unlike the realist narrative, this is not
day-to-day behaviour. You do not see a community of

and awareness for younger viewers. The videos
tended to be a minute long if not shorter and
consisted of a simple, catchy tune that explained
the dangers of the road but was upbeat and
memorable. This is vital as it is deemed quite
difficult to keep children engaged and educated
at the same time .
 A stand alone advertisement is a form of advert
that is a “one off”, there will not be another
advert by the same company that is related in

target audience, to those of a younger age it is viewed as
a relatable situation and those to of a older age it seen as
humorously awkward memory of their first kiss. Haribo’s

to every human being to their product.
