Analyzing Advertising (1973) by Centron Educational

About

A schools film made in the US to teach children about Advertising and media.

The film looks at the different ways companies publicise their products and shows how advertisers try to persuade the public to buy them. Intended for primary / middle school pupils.

From Wikipedia: Centron Corporation was an industrial and educational film production company. Founded in 1947 in Lawrence, Kansas by Arthur H. Wolf and Russell A. Mosser, Centron would come to the forefront of the industrial and educational film companies in the United States. Centron competed with large companies on both coasts to become one of the top producers of industrial and educational films. The company was known for its high quality films, coming in on time and under budget. Centron won many awards for its films and claimed an Oscar nomination for the documentary Leo Beuerman.

This American film was available to borrow from the Devon County Council schools film library here in the UK. The good condition of this print indicates that this print was seldom used and may not have been very popular.

This is a new transfer of an original faded 16mm print. Some colour correction has been applied to remove the red cast.
