Video one:
burning oil representing drugs
egg representing brain dropped into oil
eggbrain starts frying over the oil
mans voice asks for any questions from the audience
video two:
woman with a frying pan representing drugs
smashes egg representing brain
egg drops showing what body goes through
smashes plates representing family
continues smashing things representing friends, money, job, self respect, and future
asks audience if they have any questions
Both of the videos demonstrate an ad using rhetorical strategies. The initial strategy is ethos by opening with a sentence using the word "drugs" or "heroin," which appeals to the ethics of people, knowing that drugs are bad. The second ad uses more of the pathos strategy by demonstrating that using drugs not only affects the user, but the users friends, family, job, self-respect, and future. The smashing of the plates makes the audience (the ad is directed towards potential drug users) think about how a decision they make could destroy everyone around them. Both videos use logos by showing an actual representation of your brain and what using drugs can do to it. The videos both establish credibility at the end by claiming that they belong to the Partnership for a Drug Free America, which is a part of the Office of National Drug Control. Both are affective when directed at potential drug users, but the second add shows the affect on the brain but also on everything else in the users life, while the first focuses only on the brain.
