Image result for happy gilmoreOne of my all time favorite movie is Happy Gilmore, with Adam Sandler. The movie is extremely funny and great one to watch on a not so good day. Within the movie the product placement I will be addressing is Subway. As Happy Gilmore (main character) is raising money to save his grandma's house by playing golf he gets sponsored by Subway and is asked to perform a commercial with them. The product placement is clearly visible here because of the ad is inside the movie and the repetition of free subway and shirts with it's logo throughout the movie. We never really realized it because we are so distracted by Happy's silly ways and the common concept that it's a "movie" and most ads that annoy us are shown during tv shows or aren't even shown in movie.

    I think that the subtle advertisement that is seen in this movie through wearing the shirt tells viewers that Subway is very cool and even good enough to wear!

    I'm starting to notice more and more from this class and blogs that advertisement is literally everywhere. These forms of advertisement in movies, is combining movie entertainment and commercial advertisement into one category of media production.

Big Mouth is a show on Netflix that is about the stages of adolescences and how the main characters have different struggles while growing up. This show made it's self a crowd favorite when it came out because of its humor and the way it relates to us teenagers. As growing teenagers we can't always ask mommy and daddy for help on certain things and left to our own devices to figure them out. As were figuring out who we are in life we go through a series of ups and downs that are being portrayed in a funnier version on the show. To add each of the characters have home issues besides the ones at school, as do many of us. Some of the situations in the show may be a little bit of a stretch from our lives but the main concept is there. Balancing out a social life and a home/school life can be difficult at times. Especially when put in a position to choose between the two sides.

Living on the dance floor//dance moms

On my spare time or just in general I find myself constantly re watching the Dance Moms series. Dance Moms is a reality TV show that is centered on Abby Lee Miller (The dance director) and her students. Abby has raised most of her student since they were around 2 years old and put their names on the map with her amazing choreography, training, discipline, and pushing her students to the best of their ability;by traveling and competing every week. Besides watching and admiring the dancers beautiful dancing. The thing that really makes it an enjoyable show is when the dance moms fight and things get heated between the Abby's team and the rival team. Abby is known for her winning numbers and feels defeated when they come across a loss. But when it comes to the Candy Apples (biggest rival), Abby refuses to lose to them and has stood by that through all their winning titles when battling them. Although the moms all love each other they are willing to do whatever it takes to keep their c
