Abstract

This paper explores the intersection of short-form content, personalized advertising, and consumer behavior in the digital age. By combining academic research with hands-on video production, the study examines how visual elements in advertisements can capture attention and influence viewers' perceptions. Through a series of video commercials created using simple production methods and fast-paced editing, the research investigates the impact of color, transitions, and pacing in short-form content. Drawing from theories of attention and consumer engagement, this paper highlights the growing importance of personalized, quick-hitting media in today’s fast-moving digital landscape. Ultimately, the project bridges theoretical concepts with practical video production, offering insights into how modern advertising can effectively connect with consumers in an increasingly distracted world.
