Abstract:

This paper investigated the effects of production pacing, narrative structure and their interaction on resource allocation, the three sub processes of information processing (encoding, storage and retrieval) and also attitude (liking) and purchase intention. We predicted that production pacing as a structural feature would require more mental resources as it increases, but that story commercials would not require many resources. We did not find main effect of pacing on encoding. But we found that medium paced commercials were recalled better than fast- and slow-paced commercials. Further, as we predicted, fast paced commercials were rated as more likable and led to higher purchase intention. There was a main effect of narrative structure on storage and retrieval. For both cued recall and free recall, story commercials were significantly recalled better than non-story commercials (image commercials and informative commercials). Also story commercials were rated as more likable and led to higher purchase intention. Unlike our prediction, processing story commercials was not cost free. Fast pacing damaged free and cued recall memory for story commercials.

The structural features include production pacing message complexity sound effects motion camera angle and so on to name a few.
