Persuasion Video

We have created a persuasive 90 second action video for an already established sports company. We have creatively re-defined a bar to have the power to turn anyone into the ultimate athlete. The artistic format of the video is our clear point of difference. The innovative non-linear narrative is comprised of three main parts, beginning with style similar to that of ‘Groundhog Day’. The second, a transitional piece that paves the way from the old routine to the new routine resulting from the Instant athlete bar. Then finally, an action filled sequence enticing and persuading the audience that being able to have the bar enables one to do amazing things with and ending call to action telling consumers to order now and where to go to do so. We have utilised split screens, lighting and colour grading to creatively contrast the problem and solution shots. The video uses persuasive techniques such as; repetition in the beginning of the narrative to emphasise the problem, we have really utilised the text we have added to push persuasion, by carefully selecting our wording to be persuasive, e.g "Natural, "Instant", "Now. Using pathos, it appeals to emotion with the protagonist beginning frustrated with lack of progress but eventually ending on a ‘feel-good’ tone.

The Approach

Our style has been created to be relatable to our target demographic of both male and female aged 16-24 to. Our ideal consumer is already active, body conscious, fitness orientated and is looking for a quick solution to reach their desired athletic level. The product and ad competes against all other sports supplements such as Powerade, gatorade and energy bars. Our product has a unique advantage, it is able to produce athleticism in minutes rather than being a bar that is based on nutrition, enery and taste. The advertisement will fit in with other campaign media platforms, this Ad would be the longest version of itself and therefore would sit straight after games (olympics etc)and TV shows such as sports centre. We have steered away from voice over so that the video can be adapted to play on other platforms such on as a short Instagram sponsorship. Overall, we have taken a risk to create an dramatic and exciting advertisement that is designed to persuade through it’s aesthetic and dramatic narrative.
