#10: Spoof Commercial

The commercial we made was a spoof off of the classic Axe body spray commercial.  Much like the honest trailer we watched about the Walking Dead later in the semester, we played off of the classic codes and conventions that Axe actually uses.  We then took those codes, overeggagerated every component of it, and extrapolated the message to an extreme extent.  Through the subtitles we also spoofed on the nature of the corporate scene in that nothing anymore can be come without a disclaimer or else a lawsuit.  Of course a body spray wouldn't turn anyone into an eagle, but the consumeristic society we live inherently accepts everything as reality unless the "dramatization" is literally spelled out to them.  In short, we made laughable the extreme nature these men's fragrance commercials display, and how ridiculous the messages really are.
