The Five Story Elements
Plot-A story of an old South African man who is determined to learn how to read
Characters- Our protagonist is the South African and later on we meet his son who is an author of the book
Conflict-We see the man struggle to achieve his goal, as the camera captures nights spent outside reading by his porch light and the confused looks that follows a mistake in a game of Scrabble
Setting- its take place in adult education classes, his house, the library and during hangouts with friends
Theme-Bell’s is the perfect drink to celebrate a momentous occasion.
Production role/how its applied —challenges – The Director of the show, this man doesn’t want to show just people drinking and having a good time with whiskey he wants to make it a point that this drink is so special it should only behave it when a momentous occasion has occurred ” give him a bells’ What the director takes from this video is other meaning to a man of a character and determination.Some commercials feature men showcasing their spirit by climbing mountains or going to war. But imagine being a grown man and gathering the strength and courage to learn how to read.
The Bell’s Whiskey commercial, is geared toward an older audience, one that is celebrating the bonds between a father and a son, celebrating a very courageous event in the father’s life. If the commercial had been geared towards men, but a bit younger, like a father taking out his son who just turned 21, it would have come out differently. The story would maybe be a little touching, but not enough to induce tears or feeling of accomplishment. The story may have shown the dad drinking a Bell’s when his son was born, and then showed moments of his son’s life leading up to the the day his dad takes him out and tells him “Today, you are a man” and acknowledges that his son is a grown up by buying him a Bell’s. It would be seen as a rite of passage story for the son, and the dad welcoming him into adulthood. It would not be a story of triumph and over coming obstacles rather it is a celebration.
