Anywhere we go, anything we do, we have advertising messages all around us. From the time we wake up we're surrounded by these messages, whether its the morning news and its commercials or the box of cereal we eat from every morning before work or school.
We don't realize it but society is pretty sucked into the advertisement world. Media has its own little secrets to keep us interested in these products. Ive learned from my own experience as a broadcasting student that media uses,tone,music, colors and hidden techniques to catch our attention. They often associate the shows on TV to the commercials following it. For instance, if we're watching a horror movie they might show commercials for another horror movie soon to be shown in theaters or other horror shows, or they might even show a commercial about house security because they know you're vulnerable at the moment.
If you walk outside you'll see posters everywhere about a new cell phone, car, or new aparatus that you "must have". Yet,odds are they'll make another one in a couple of weeks that you will also what and must have.
Somehow we keep falling into this "circle of shop" as to speak. They just keep fishing us in, persuading us to buy until they come up with the next "over the top", best selling, or highest rated product they want us spending our money on.
