The key parts that will be important when producing my food and drinks advert is that the advert will have to be honest to the audiences as i will have to add truthful information to the audience, The advert should also be legal as the actions in the advert and it also should be decent to the audience. The adverts should not inculed any violence actions, that may influence the children to do as this means that the adverts should not inculed imitable behaviour.

Choose at least 4 TV Advertising case studies of (two) problematic food and soft drink advertising and (two) children and advertising?

Two problematic advert

 

Why the tango advert would be a problematic advert is because it contains imiatable behaviour, which means that a younger view could recreate the scene in the advert that would harm other, as there is a man that goes around after you have drunk the Tango to slap you. As is the ASA regulations, it say that all advert before the watershed hour must not contain any behaviour of violence to one another.The complaint that were received had said that it was risk of harming each from a younger prospective. As doctors said that kids where tangoing each other that perforate there ear drums.



The Pot noodle advert was banned by the ASA as it had received complaints from the public of having a sexual representation. As there is man that is walking into a restaurant to his friends with a horn in is trousers which is meant to represent a erect penis which give is a inappropriate look to it. As the public said to the ASA that that advert was not suitable for children and to be placed before the watershed hour. As the advert had used comments and action that weren't suitable. 

Two children advert




The Moneysupermarket.com advert was the most complained advert of 2016 as it has received 1,063 complaints, as the the advert was not upgraded. We can see in the advert that bodyguard Gary dressed in a suit with sunglasses on, starts to dance at a rally. The complaints where the the dancing was overly sexual and not allowed to be seen by kids, but however this was seen go be in a funny manner.The response from the complaints showed that they had found the dance moves distasteful. Dispute this not being banned, it has contain content that may offend a lot of people which mat help us to stay away from this type of advert.


The Heinze Beans can Song is a advert that is a problematic for children as this was banned from the ASA, as in the advert it is given you instruction on how to build your own drum out of a can. The ASA had said that they had received complaints that the advert shows instructions that may harm the younger age group, as they could be cut by the sides of the can as this is a risk. The amount of complaints that the ASA received from this was 3 that said that the advert encourage behaviour that is harmful.
