A nice description of your guitars! I play too, I have three and my favourite is a Breedlove made of cedar and mahogany. It has a thin, wide neck with steel strings. I love the deep bass sound it creates!

How long have you been playing guitar?

Hi Kazuma!

my phobia

I am not an acrophobe, but I <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">fear</s> get scared when <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">that</s> my body rises into the air and shakes. For example, when the bus driver slams on the brakes, and the bus jolts to a stop, I feel nauseous. Maybe I have a delicate constitution to motion sickness. So, I hate to ride on a roller coaster but my girlfriend always eggs me on to ride on one, telling me 'let's overcome your fear.' but she just wants to see me shriek. I dislike/hate the moment when a roller coaster goes down a steep decline and my body rises into air <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">on.</s> Even if I wear the safety belt, I still worry that it might shoot me into the sky.

I am also a claustphobe. I developed this phobia in Japan when I was standing in <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">the</s><s> </s> a packed train. I do not like the feeling of the passengers smashing into me and that my personal space is being invaded. So, Japanese trains are like<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);"> the</s> hell for me. Train is always<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);"> rolling</s> jolting badly and I<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);"> am</s> worry about my personal space.

Do you have any phobias or anything that you are afraid of?

Very good! If you would like to discuss the corrections in detail please let me know!

I used to be a acrophobe! When I was younger I hated being up high. I would get dizzy when going over a bridge, I would shake when on a plane and I would freeze if I was climbing up something and I looked down! But meditation helped me overcome this fear and now I have no problems when doing the things that used to terrify me!

Hi Yasmin!

The Art of Advertising: Selling Products through Film (writing)

In this modern world we live in, advertisements are surrounding us every day. They are spreading over our streets, in the magazines we read and on TV screens. Although a fair amount of people believe advertising is just a means <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">of</s> for businesses and<s> </s>companies to brainwash the consumer into buying their products, others reluctantly accept its existence as a necessary evil in today’s economy.

Advertising is all over the place<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">s</s> and difficult to avoid so, in this oversaturated market, how can companies manage to create an ad capable of overshadowing the rest? In my opinion, an impeccable example of this would be the success of Old Spice’s <s>commercial and</s> ad campaign. Around 2010, the company created a 30-minute-long advertisement to sell their new body wash product. This campaign was named The Man Your Man Could Smell Like, and featured a stereotypically handsome man that <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">would </s>asks the viewers to compare ‘their man’ with him, but the ad was shot in a fast-paced manner never seen before in TV advertising.

Despite the product’s target market being male, the campaign targeted female viewers, as it was determined that women usually make purchasing decisions in respect <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">of</s> to hygiene, even for male household members. The actor would address the viewer in short, fast-paced monologues talking about the advantages of using Old Spice’s product. The ad would progress through different locations, clothing and activities and would usually have an unexpected ending.

Although nowadays this kind of mindset regarding gender roles would be frowned upon, the advertisement <s>caused</s> had a great impact on 2010’s viewers, who found the campaign amusing and the actor - known <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">since</s> <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">then</s> from then on as Old Spice’s Man - charming and endearing. Such was the success of this advertising campaign that Old Spice used the same format to sell other (company) products <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">of the company.</s>

This is a perfect example of how marketing is essential to selling any product in today’s world, as we tend to choose <s>those</s> the products that stand out from the rest.

Very good!

Note: commercial (US) & advertisement (UK) are the same thing.
