This essay is about the second season of stranger things coming out this halloween. Stranger things is a netflix original. The ad opened up with an old eggo commercial and you hear the kids on the ad say the classic “leggo my eggo” showing that this was placed around the time the commercial was produced. You see tv static and a person's face (and an arcade) go back and forth on screen then you here a boy yell “11” and a low growl giving an ominous feeling and building suspense. You see four boys at a school called “hawkins middle school” giving their age range. Words then fade onto screen saying “the world is turning” the words fade onto screen again saying “upside down” giving more of that ominous feeling. A person in a plastic hazmat-like suit holding a metal …show more content…
Security cameras come up showing somebody lying down on a chair and strapped down giving more suspense build up and giving you more questions. You see a boy standing in front of the door, the door creaks open by itself and you see the monster in the sky surrounded by reddish storm clouds giving you a hint on what and/or who they will be facing in the next season. Then the name of the show and where to watch it (netflix) appears on screen.
This ad is directed towards young adults/ adults. It appeals to adults who were raised to the 80’s, young adults (13-18) could like how people their age are facing adult\dangerous problems. Kids wouldnt really like it since there's not bright colors, there not from that time so they won't get references and they might think it's scary. It could be appealing because of the mystery, suspense, and ominous feeling. This ad used ethos and pathos.

Visually they used 80’s retro and dark colors\lighting. They also use the fount ITC
Benguiat for the title, like old horror books for example the stephen king books.

    The 1985 American Express card commercial starring the famous author Stephen King is particularly effective in its cleverness to full audiences. The ad relies strongly on the fallacy of appeal to authority and the scare tactic of the unknown. Urgency and fear have been created ingeniously in its tone and imagery. Although the ad does strongly use this fallacy and an underlined emotion of fear to persuade its audience, the result is enormously effective.…

    the upcoming episode. Another way in which Simon disorientates the viewer in the opening is by juxtaposing events that have nothing to do with one another. Potter points out that “the amount of recapping the show does is insufficient to bring the casual viewer up to speed” (195). The Wire is therefore not meant for the casual viewer, and Simon actively attempts to avoid them with vague openings and “lack of explicit storytelling “signposts” or elements of narrative redundancy” (Potter 192).…

    I was at the doctor's office with my mom today, and naturally, I reached for one of the dozens of magazines to occupy me. When I flipped it open, there was a description of a Netflix horror show, Dark, that read, “Like a sausage casing that doesn’t care one bit if it will burst from overstuffing, this German import has elements of Stranger Things… Set in a dank little town… it involves missing children [and] a cave that occasionally belches a terrifying roar…” First of all, I am not convinced that this horror show is horrifying if the author is comparing it to sausage. Although it’s amusing, the ineffective simile is distracting. What is that suppose to mean?…
