We encounter many ads every day of our lives. Some ads we are consciously aware of what we are viewing and other have been cleverly placed to influence our thinking without consciously realizing it, There are many subtle yet powerful ways that we come across advertising in our daily lives and we are going to take a closer look at just how powerful these ads can be.
To get started we are going to watch “A Brief History of Conspicuous Product Placement in Movies.” to see how different movies have used product placement over the years. As you are watching create a list of all the products that the video shows and what film it was in.
Your task today is to find other movies that you can have watched that have examples of conspicuous product placement in them. Create a list of movies and products and answer the following questions:
1) Why do you think movies use this kind of product placement?
2) Do you think that it is effective? Why or why not?
3) Have you ever been influenced by a product placed in a movie?
4) 10 examples of product placement in movies other than the examples from the video
Include all of this in a blog post titled "Advertising and Product Placement"
