Persuasive techniques in commercials

My Reflection
We were learning to make an advertisement to convince our parents to do something that would make our holidays amazing. I chose to make mine about letting us play video games all day. I started out doing an animation like everyone else, but after I couldn't think of a script and most of the time I didn't have a computer to make the animation, so I decided to try and do a POSTER OF AMAZINGNESSABILITY. I was the only one doing a poster, since it wasn't one of the original options we were given. And look, it turned out amazing. I even made a pamphlet. The persuasive techniques I used were:
1.Emotional appeal: Using things that the people who I am directing this ad to like.
2. Testimonial: A review from a happy customer.
3.Slogan: In this case: "Leave'em be and be free" A catchy thing that will stay in people's mind
4. Repetition: Saying something over and over again so you remember it.
5. Bandwagon: Fear of missing out.
6. Expert opinion: Using something that people will trust because it was said by someone who knows what they're doing.   
 I found this work tricky, because there wasn't many benefits. My next step is to make more pamphlets.
