| Summary: | Pepsodent Expert Protection commercials use multimodality as a way of creating
meaning by using various modes. This study aims to analyze the use of multimodal
elements in commercials with informative and persuasive nature. The linguistic mode
is analyzed by using Systemic Functional Linguistics proposed by Halliday, while the
para-linguistic mode is analyzed by using grammar of visual design proposed by
Kress and van Leeuwen. The data is in form of TV commercials published on 5
February 2013 and 29 October 2013 by Pepsodent official account on Youtube.
Qualitative method is used to give descriptive analysis and in-depth understanding.
The commercials use ideational metafunction to bring up humans’ experience in the
real world into verbal message that can be communicated. From the aspect of visual
imagery, interactive participant is considered important and depicted more saliently.
In terms of interpersonal metafunction, high polarity declarative and interrogative are
combined with indirect gaze and low camera angle in the first commercial that has
informative nature. Median polarity declarative, interrogative, and imperative are
combined with indirect and direct gaze, close-up shot, eye level shot, long shot, and
low angle in the second commercial that has persuasive nature. Textual metafunction
is used to connect ideas relevantly and logically in verbal mode. In terms of visual
imagery, textual metafunction used to combine elements in an image. The
combination of linguistic and para-linguistic modes is used in the commercials to
form the overall message. The first commercial has an informative nature. The
second commercial has more persuasive nature. |
