The Full Sail video is used as a recruitment tool by capturing the attention of creatives and provides an informative breakdown of the possibilities available when students choose Full Sail. With the Launchbox being a portable studio that allows students to work anywhere, anytime, it causes students to feel empowered and inspired. This story displays the advantages of choosing Full Sail University as well as the convenience of Project Launchbox. Each student is able to take their projects and tools home with them, rather than limiting work to the classroom. This creates many advantages but it also causes each student to take their education into their own hands. This also provides a more hands-on approach to the project-based degree programs. By informing students of the program possibilities as well as introducing the Launchbox, Full Sail’s video is able to connect with the audience through storytelling.
The Dollar Shave Club video announces a new product by using crude humor and sarcasm. By stating “I’m an executive now, I have papers to sign,” Mike utilizes Ethos to introduce a new product to his targeted audience, men. Previously, the idea of wipes were marketed toward women. Feminine wipes and washes have been around for years and weren't even considered by men. The story behind this ad is that toilet paper is messy and “primitive,” and the One Wipe Charlie Wipes save time and money. Dollar Shave Club also uses a commonsense type of approach in their videos. Utilizing Logos, Mike states “Is all this fancy butt stuff gonna cost me an arm and a log? Does a bear shit in the woods? Not anymore… and he pays just a couple of bucks for a 40 pack.” The sarcasm used in Dollar Shave Club ads is intended to make the audience feel like the message is obvious. Using their product is commonsense. The message almost makes the audience question why they haven’t done this already. The Dollar Shave Club uses Logos, Ethos and Pathos along with sarcasm and humor to connect with their audience and introduce their products.
