I have noticed that most of the production of older pre-50's commercials seem to be more personable than most of the commercials at present time. Most of the commercials are appear to be "low-budget", when actors are used. For example, the Nonesuch Coffee commercial I chose, has no music, just 2 actors in a kitchen, and a voice-over. This commercial looked like it was filmed in someone's kitchen, at breakfast and the take could have possibly been done in about 30 minutes, including editing. Cartoon commercials such as the Breakfast Pals one I chose, seem to have had more thought and effort put into it. Music, animation and product placement were all pretty strong in this one. These days, commercials are all high tech, even down to the product placement and editing. With CGI effects, new commercials cost 100 times more than their earlier predecessors.
 * PRODUCTION VALUES**

With most of the food commercials I looked at in this era, it seemed that product placement and music were large factors in each commercial. Audio descriptions of each product seemed over-worded, but I guess it's to get the "feeling/taste" of the product. More audio cues seem to be utilized to trigger hunger responses. Some of the other commercials I looked at were not only a bit more wordy, but appeared to be more technical in nature, especially when it came to car commercials. But all in all, food commercials seemed to try and hit as close to home as possible to get the consumer into the store to pick up that new pop corn, cereal or even eggs.
