COM14 – Assessment Task 1 – Part 2

Advertisement involving the word ‘blue’

I envisage this advertisement being shown on TV with the text below as a voiceover for corresponding pictures. Music should be played in the background, perhaps a simple repeating piano melody, preferably one that will become stuck in the viewer’s head for days.

Life can be blue sometimes, wouldn’t you agree?
You have all those endless weeks of feeling low instead of on a high.
You don’t want to get out of bed, let alone go to work.
You just want to curl up and cry, with something for comfort and support.
You don’t want to talk to people, so you start to take more and more time off.
You are angry and sad,
“Why is this happening to me? What did I do?”

At the end, the following message should be displayed as white and blue text over a black background and the music cut out suddenly, in the middle of the pattern for additional emphasis.

If depression is affecting you or anyone you know, take a step in the right direction. (white)
