D4: Political Ads

Advertisement 1

  1. Kennedy for the Democratic party in 1960
  2. It was a serious advertisement, kind of like a public address. Kennedy spoke to the people, telling them that America was doing well, but it could even get better,

  1. Carter for the Democratic party in 1976
  2. This commercial is portraying Carter as a personable person, that is not afraid to get involved with the people. All throughout the commercial, he is shown in crowds, and shaking people's hands. 

Advertisement 3

  1. Bush for the Republican Party in 2004
  2. The commercial is more serious, and focuses on the issues that were plaguing America at the time. 
General Questions

  1. Commercials back then were more personal instead of serious and negative. They were also very simple and plain instead of flashy and shocking. 
  2. I think Carter's Ad was more effective. It was more personal, and it showed real people in the world approaching him. It made him feel like more of a people person, and I would vote for him.
