Teen Pregnancy in the Media

They made Teen Mom to show kids that it is harder then it looks and that this is an epidemic but it is an preventable epidemic, MTV is trying to teach Teens about safe sex and if you don't it could be trouble for you,  By watching this show MTV got teens to settle down and the pregnancy rates drop over the pasted 20 years except for a small spike from the 2005 to 2007, they did the show with white middle class women and not lower class women because they didn't want the public to discount the show as 'Oh that doesn't apply to me'

Teens in the Media - Is it Accurate?

1. Do you think teens are portrayed accurately and fairly? If the news reported it then the 4374 crimes committed by teens is accurately but that no reason to say that all teens are bad and just doing bad if you listen to the new they just report the bad new to get a better pay check, so no i dont think its fair but some what accurate 



2. Does the media reinforce stereotypes? Are they realistic or fair? The media always reinforces stereotypes no matter what the topic is. in this case the stereotypes are realistic and fair 



3. Are the teens you see on TV like you?  NO their is no one like me in this world!

Psychographics

Josh, David, Jared

I think i belong in the belongers group, because I am traditionalists i dont like to go to a fast food restaurant i dont know, and i like to enjoy a good coke in the afternoon and i do not like to go out of my comfort zone.


David is an emulator-achiever because he like to buy everything new or he wouldn't buy the item at all and he like to dress well or he wouldn't go out in public.


Jared is an emulator because he like to buy the stuff that all his friends buy and he wears to much axe body spay.   

Product Placement Transformers

i do not think it is just one big advertisement for different companies because i didn't see that much  advertisement in the movie or maybe i just have a bad eye for spotting that kind of stuff.

I don't think having placement product in the movie made it a bad movie i didn't really notice them but if it was using it to much and they made the actors say " oh my god this coke is soo good" and he pointed at the coke and carried on with movie, but if was like Wayne's World and making fun of it then yeah it alright.

Advertising Assignment

1. Who is the intended audience? The intended audience was the teens and early 20's 

2. How does the ad appeal to them?the Jordens makes you think if you wear them you can be better then other people at basketball, and Converse make you think that their style is better then shoe because shoes are boring. 

3. What visual element(s) does the ad contain? How are they used? (Refer to handout). For Jordens make you feel like you are better then everyone. Converse make you feel like you are a rebel. The ad contain something that make you think that wearing those shoe\sneakers you make you better or cooler    

4. What story component(s) are contained in the ad? How are they used?in Jordan that have people playing basketball and one guy is dunking. they are at a basket ball court, they have the Jordan symbol. in the converse they have this guy in a grocery store skateboarding
