WK3 Analysis: Businesses & Audiovisual Media

Full Sail University uses their video as a recruitment tool by starting off the video with the school’s logo. The video then has a narrator who proceeds to describe success that the school has acquired. The commercial includes examples, statistics, and interesting facts about different programs and the campus itself.

Through the video, the visual focus takes you on a journey through the campus, seeing various areas of the campus and different classrooms. You are introduces to the President of Full Sail University whom is also the narrators of the video.

There is a story within the commercial when the President and Vice President describe why Full Sail University came into existence, what they believe students need for success, and describe what they believe is “bridging the gap between being a student and being a professional.”

Dollar Shave Club used a humorous video to announce their new product One Wipe Charlies. This is effective for Dollar Shave Club because their first video for their razor product was widely successful when they released their funny ad campaign commercial via YouTube.

The focus within their commercial is poop and wiping after you go to the bathroom. The story behind One Wipe Charlies is that men, in particular, shouldn’t have to use so much toilet paper after they go to the bathroom. Their point they make over and over within the video is, if you use One Wipe Charlies, you’ll only have to wipe one time after you take a “number two”.  They make it clear that you’ll get a forty pack of wipes when you subscribe as well. Also, this product is geared towards men only, though I’m sure they would be ok with getting business from women.

Science World uses their video commercial to invite people to their facility by having staff lip-sync individual parts of the video’s song while walking through different areas of Science World. This shows people what Science World looks like in a fun and humorous way. They also showcase how kid friendly Science World is by having lots of children, who look happy and like they’re having a good time, in the video.


There is a story within Science World’s video. Their story really starts off with their song choice You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet. The song does a good job of depicting what Science World shows in their video. Their story is showing off the different areas of the facility, what’s in the facility for patrons to see, and the fun things patrons can do at Science World.

Best regards,
