Den här uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka hur trovärdighet i reklam skapas genom vilka val som görs när det kommer till narratologiska och filmtekniska komponenter. Genom en kritisk retorikanalys med stöd av narratologi och filmteknisk teori, granskas reklamfilmen ​Gunde Svan och sjungande grenar som drivmedelsbolaget Preem gav ut hösten 2019. I analysen framkommer det att Preem bygger sin trovärdighet i frågan på ethos- och pathosargumentation, där Gunde Svan och de sjungande grenarna spelar en stark roll i det narratologiska, med hjälp av filmtekniska aspekter som iscensättning, ljud och ljus.Sökord: Grön marknadsföring, Greenwashing, Kritisk retorikanalys, Trovärdighet i reklam, Burkes pentad, Filmtekniska komponenter. / This paper aims to investigate how credibility in advertising is created through what choices are made when it comes to narratological and film-technical components. Through a critical rhetorical analysis supported by narratology and cinematic theory, the commercial ​Gunde Svan och sjungande grenar, ​issued by the fuel company Preem in the fall 2019 is examined. The analysis reveals that Preem builds its credibility on the issue on ethos and pathos reasoning, where Gunde Svan and the branches play strong roles in the narratological, with the help of film-technical aspects such as staging, sound and light.Keywords: Green marketing, Greenwashing, Critical rhetorical analysis, Credibility in advertising, Burke’s Pentad, Film style

This paper examines dialect as a rhetorical means of persuasion. A survey containing inquires about four different Swedish dialects have been handed out mainly in Södertörn University and Stockholm University, in order to research the values and connotations of theese dialects. The four chosen dialects are as following: Göteborgska, Stockholmska, Norrländska and Skånska. The results of the survey are processed and compiled to see which attitudes these values and connotations may indicate to each dialect. These attitudes and values are then discussed in correlation with five rhetorical theories: Attitude as a means of persuation, Ethos, Persona, Rhetorical Agency and Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of Field and Habitus. From this discussion, conclusions are drawn about whether dialect may be used as a means of persuasion. However, the values and attitudes presented from the survey represents only the survey participants, and cannot be regarded as a general opinion. Altough it is a small-scale survey, certain conclusions can be made. The author of this essay concludes that dialect may be used as a means of persuasion, based on the survey results and rhetorical theories presented above. Finally, a critical component for this rhetorical agent is the adjustment of the audience. Without knowing the audiences values and attitudes to the dialect, the outcome of the effect may be hard to predict.
