Young women will want Wood when they see this ad because Megan Fox uses the perfume and she is attractive and men are attracted to her. Our audience will want to be like Megan, do everything like Megan, including purchasing Wood.
    In our tv add we will be using before and after affects to lure young women into buying Wood. We will have an “outcast” ( nerdy, doesn’t fit in, males are not attracted to) use our perfume and then go to a party with friends and get all the boys’ attention. Showing that Wood can make girls who are typically unattractive to boys, attractive, will create a wave of girls who are self conscious, or don’t fit in to begin searching for Wood.

7. I think I like the shows; Jersey Shore, Phineas & Ferb and MTV Live, because they apply to who I am. I am in love with Jersey Shore! This is because many girls like drama, especially when it doesn't have to deal with them. This show contains a TON of drama, also its target audience is teenage girls, with the men on the show being very masculine, that attracts more female audiences. Phineas & Ferb is a cartoon show about two brothers and what they do on a summer day .I enjoy this show because I also enjoy summer and the show is very simple but also funny and cute.
