WRT 150 Visual Argument


     The commercial is trying to convey the ideal that companionships is necessary in life. The message is saying to the audience that Subaru can be a reliable companion in one's life. It depicts the phrase "A dog is a man's best friend" through showing a series of scenes of a man's life progressing along with his dog's life.  
     I interpreted the intended audiences for this advertisement as young families and people who are enthused with nature. The Subaru continued to arrive at the same house in the woods throughout the commercial. The house was surrounded by trees. There were no visibly adjacent houses and there was no driveway to the house. The commercial starts off with a single man, he gets married and has a child. This tells me that this commercial is attempting to appeal to the young family.  


      This commercial is an encoding and decoding commercial. It in encoding that this vehicle is reliable. That is what the commercial says blatantly. The viewer decodes that one may find a companionship with the vehicle.
