blog 6: propaganda techniques

These are Apple's iPhone 6 commercials titled 'Huge' and 'Cameras'.

• Justin Timberlake and  Jimmy Fallon briefly hunts through its newest features. This technique used here is 'Beautiful people' where celebrities are introduced to win over the audience.
•  Yet another interesting technique that is widespread is 'repetition'. Apple ads are for the most part on white backgrounds and have the simple but striking bitten Apple logo. 
• The iPhone6 slogan, 'Bigger than bigger' is also a propaganda technique that persuades the target audience.

This commercial features one of the most popular hangout joints in India. 

• Repetition of the logo and the jingle gets the audience.
• 'Common man' is another propaganda technique used where ordinary people are pictured doing common activities and using common language. This helps a great deal in winning over the target audience.
