Pitch reflection 

Throughout our english class we were divided into groups in order to pitch and come up with a plan in order to advertise and persuade the committee in using us to advertise a certain product. Throughout my groups pitch I believe that  there were many techniques that appealed to boost our pitch in many beneficial ways as we had used the bandwagon appeal throughout the speech of our group since we created a feeling and a sensation in our advertisement that would make the consumer consume the product because everyone is consuming it. As well as we used the appeal to desire in which we had used this appeal to associate and link the product with an everyday desire that teenagers keep dreaming off which is the desire to victory and liberty if they consume our product. 

Throughout the presentation there were many techniques that we had used in order to persuade the audience throughout the presentation that we had conducted as we had used persuasive language that aimed to influence the audience. Nevertheless we had used appeals that were related to our product as an example we had used a celebrity to advertise the product just making the product more popular and desirable in the whole region as well as we had used many ideologies and concepts that were related to  Aristotle  and his beliefs and ideologies in persuasive language as we used his concepts of ‘ETHOS,PATHOS & LOGOS” to trigger a sensation in the audiences bodies. Moreover, knowing more about the context and the region in which we had to advertise our product in gave us a better hint and idea at what age group we should aim the product at and at which perspective should we focus more on. For example we had to advertise our product in the context of the UAE and therefore we had to identify ways in which we could link the product to that certain region of the world. Therefore when we knew the region we were going to advertise our product in we assumed that the targeted audience would be teenagers in that region and they would be teenagers that had a certain interest in video or you tubers since we had used a well known celebrity to  advertise the product known as KSI. 

Throughout the powerpoint presentation we had included many images in our presentation in order to influence the committee and the audience and grab their attention so that they don't get bored and get hyped instead as ew went on with explaining our product and our ideologies regarding that product. We had included images of the product and the name of the product so that we as an advertising company seem credible and professional enough to take this task of advertising a product. Nevertheless, the use of images throughout the presentation helped us to influence and get into the audience in an effective manner so that they are convinced with our product and our ideas.

Finally, this presentation as a whole would benefit us as individuals when we are going to submit and present our FOA because throughout this presentation  we knew how we could adjust ourselves in several situations in which you forgot what you were saying or when you go off topic. As well as I believe that from this presentation we got a solid idea on how strong the FOA should look like in order to get a decent grade.

  1. Very informative piece, explaining wisely on the intended effects that the pitch was supposed to have. However, work on your grammar. You repeated quite a lot and sentences progressed for too ling without the use of punctuation. Nevertheless, an insightful and informative post! :)
