Abstract

The aim of the author of the paper is to determine whether modifying the tempo, instruments and tonality of the background music of audio-visual political advertising can shape a viewer’s perception of the qualities of the candidate. The conducted analysis has shown that the character of the music from political advertising can affect a viewer’s opinions about the politician’s features, although the importance of the background music in this context is marginal.
