EOC Week 3: Tobacco Advertisement

Tobacco Advertisement

1. Determine the scenario: What happens in this frame? 2. What is the setting? What are the conditions? 3. Who are the people or groups? 4. What is their point of view around this specific experience? 5. What are their goals? 6. What are their assumptions? What are their perceptions? 7. Are there conflicts? Is there cooperation? 8. What are the outcomes?


When you look at this photo you can definitely describe a couple accompanying each other outside and a lady outside a window. We can see that they are happy & enjoying their time together. We can also see the gentlemen is trying to take the cigarette from her hands because he wants to smoke it. They also seem to be having a conversation the man says “Winston tastes good!” and the lady in the window is saying “like a cigarette should!” which is implying that this brand is very clean flavor that everyone should enjoy. I also imagine them saying this because of their competitors. This gives us a picture of the lifestyle of cigarette brand Winston. They also describe how clean it is saying its snow-white filtered. In the description it lets us know that the star of the Bob Cummings show on NBC says that it’s America’s favorite and his too. They have the buyers thinking that because the star from the Bob Cummings show likes it, they should try it. When saying these things gets the attention of the readers and seduces them to buy their product. The advertisers have to assume that the public’s wants them to describe the pros of buying this product. The man wanting to take the cigarette from his partner indicates that it does taste good. The other women is reassuring them that, that’s how a cigarette should taste like unlike all the other ones. I think that this is a great example of an advertisement answering all the right questions.
