  6. 1. This ad did a sufficient job of advertising the blackberry.
    2. The ad appealed to pathos by showing how vital a blackberry can be for families that need instant communication with each other for the most important of life's events, such as having a baby. Logos was also used through showing how fast the blackberry's messaging is and therefore it is the best choice for a phone.
    3. I would recommend emphasizing other functions of the blackberry that would be useful for families in order to appeal more to the target group.
    4. This ad picked a perfect situation to show off the speed of the blackberry's messaging in comparison to other phones. It was also well acted out.

  9. 1. I felt the advertisement did very well in showing the appealing nature of the Blackberry.
    2, By fcusing on how Blackberry's speed will allow you to not miss those special moments, such as childberth, the advertisement appealed to pathos and the audience's emotions.
    3. Although appealing very well to the targeted audience i felt this audience is very narrow and perhaps other clips could have been included to widen the targeted groups.
    4. The idea behind the ad is extremely creative and the before and after (if you had a Blackberrry) were humorous.

  10. 1) In my opinion, the commercial effectively advertised the product.
    2) The commercial appealed to pathos by giving the audience an idea that special moments are valuable and should not be missed. Therefore by owning a Blackberry, these special moments will not be lost.
    3) The commercial could have been improved by showing other situations where owning a Blackberry would be advantagous in contrast to just showing a family expecting a child.
    4) The commercial was well acted and the before and after was also a great idea.

  19. 1. This commercial did a phenomenal job in advertising this product very effectively.
