PLEASE, FOLLOW THESE STEPS:



FIRST:
Watch it until the boy is on the train (0:36 sec):

Now, until the motorcycle gets near a small house (0:51 sec):
  • Is that man a relavite of his?
  • Is that house the place of destination?
THIRD:
Stop the video when the old man receives the jar (1:05 sec):
  • What do you think is going to happen when the jar is opened?
  • What's this commercial about? Can you guess?

FOURTH: Watch along.
  • What's the commercial about?

  1. FIRST:
    Where do you think he's going?

    It came up to my mind that he could be going to visit some relative, may be an old granny, in order to give her the wind as a present.

    SECOND:
    Now, until the motorcycle gets near a small house (0:51 sec):

    Is that man a relavite of his / theirs?

    I don't believ so, because he went on his road when the boy got off the motorcycle.

    Is that house the place of destination? Well...It might be. The boy is so exited to get to the house...

    THIRD:

    Stop the video when the old man receives the jar (1:05 sec):

    What do you think is going to happen when the jar is opened? The wind will blow, but I don't know how it will. It may be a weak or a strong blowing.

    What's this commercial about? Can you guess?

    It might be something related to the family, the feelings. It could be an assurance company.

    FOURTH: Watch along.

    What's the commercial about? It is about the ecofriendly energy, the wind energy.
    What feelings did you experience while watching it? The song gives an idea of what the boy is feeling. Hope, love, nice feelings.
    Any further comments? This comercial is very well done, as it can appeal to the human feelings and relate them to saving the planet.

  4. FIRST
    - Where do you think he is going?

    I think he is going to visit a relative to give him/her the insect as a special present.

    SECOND:
    Now until the motorcycle gets near a small house.

    - Yes, I thought of two options: destination or just a part of the view.

    - I think is some known person of the town, but not a relative.

    THIRD
    Stop the video when the old man recieves the jar.

    - I imagine that when it's open the insect will fly over their heads, and it will be the sweetes present♥

    - Being sencire, I thought it was a comercial about a lovely new film.

    FOURTH

    - The comercial is about wind energy (I think)

    - I loved so much this vieo!!! I felt love, and... love hahaha and tenderly

    - How stupid I am! I thought the boy had cought an insect!!

    LOVE EVERYWHERE IN THE COMERCIAL!♥ hihi

    kisses

  7. As always, I'm the last one jajaja =P. It was freaking me out the fact that I couldn't finde de video. Well, as you said not to do the lyrics, I will do the rest (in a moment I wrote "de" rest :P)

    First part (until 00:36)
    I think the boy is going to the city, or to a place far from where he is, so hi is putting into de bottle some ocean's air.

    Second Part
    I don't believe that man is relative, I think it's just a man passing there. And yes, I imagine the house is the destination.

    Third part
    When the child's grandfather open the bottle, I think countryside smell or ocean smell will fill the place.
    The comercial may be about the little things that could make a birsthday special

    Forth part
    Jajajaja, my god, I can't it! I wrote of the comercial being about familiar love and those things, and it ended up being a comercial about wind energy >_<

    Well, that's all

    With love, Diego ^^
