I chose these pictures because I feel that they are explaining the different responsibilities as life goes on. The first one, you learn simple math at a very young age. It is the beginning of a whole life in front of you. Every thing else you learn stems from what you learned at this little of an age. Picture two leads to a little bit later stage in life where you learn to support our country and say the pledge of allegiance every morning. You start to learn about the simple things in government and rights as a citizen. Then you grow up and get married. Marriage is a huge milestone in a lot of peoples lives. It is a wonderful point in your life and you know that you are an adult with responsibilities. Which leads to the next two pictures, responsibility. Going to the grocery is something that everyone hates but has to do. There will never come a time in your life that you don't have to add groceries to your budget. Along with that is gas. Buying gas for your car is a never ending cycle as well. You need gas to take you every where to run your errands. This organization shows my thoughts about growing up and taking on responsibilities of life. Yes, there are different ways to organize my pictures. The flag could have been added to the end to show support of your country after all these years and actually learning what it is like to vote and do other things as an American citizen. At this point you have actually experienced it not just learned about it. If you added music to the background I think it would add to the message behind these pictures. We all know that growing old can stink sometimes and it can be an emotional roller coaster. Adding music could add to the emotions and the feelings behind it. It is something that everyone faces and everyone deals with, so everyone can relate.

Commercial

Youtube



The intended audience for this commercial is people who are married or people purchasing car insurance. People who find this commercial funny probably can relate and they may feel that they can relate to the car insurance company as well. This would increase the chances that someone will choose to go with this specific car insurance. The company may not appeal but a lot of people can relate to this certain situation and that will make the commercial funnier. If someone couldn't relate they may not find it as funny. The social connotations could be that a lot of wives accuse their husbands of cheating and they are using this to their advantage. They are offering around the clock coverage and this woman believes her husband is cheating. In today's time affair is huge problem and the cause of a lot of divorces. I think this also goes along with the cultural connotations. Today's modern world you can pretty much get what you want at any hour of they day. A lot of things are 24/7 now to be convenient to people at all times. The saying 'Jake from State Farm" has been pretty popular since this commercial aired. And a lot of people have made knock off videos to be funny. The standard State Farm colors are used because the wife comments on the outfit because she believes it's a woman not a man. This uses the technology of today's time. Be available whenever needed. All you have to do is pick up the phone. The overall purpose of this commercial is to have people switch to their company. They are there for you even at 3 am and your wife accuses you of cheating but you still get savings. They will save you money in the long run. You can call anytime needed. I think that it is successful because it's an awesome commercial. Someone may switch because they see this and call to get cheaper quotes. Or someone may call just to be curious about their quotes. No matter when you can call this company and they will be there for you.That's a huge deal in today's society. The flipping of scenes adds to the message. You see the man and woman in pj's and it flips to the State Farm employee. You get to see both sides and enjoy the humor a little more. Just a little side note- my mom named her dog Jake from State Farm because of this commercial, Jake for short! It's a good laugh.
