A good example of nonverbal communication)

What impression this commercial made on you? Do you think that after watching it women will rush to the nearest shop to buy this brand of penuts? Personally, for me this commercial is not only an entertainment ( can you admit that it is damn funny?)  but also a good example of nonverbal communication.

Firstly, you can say much about the music.“You just too good to be true, Ican’t take my eyes off you…”, it is an abstract from the song.  I think when MANIC STREET PREACHERS sang this song they did not imagine a girl like this ) (but it is personally my opinion). Even me when I first heard the song I thought about a beautiful, tall model, with a perfect body. This it my prototype of a girl who is like ‘heaven to touch’.  So the song in some way contradicts the commercial, making it more funny and interesting.

 Have you noticed how all that guys looked on this girl with admiration? Like she is perfect, the most beautiful girl they have ever seen, so that they can immediately fall in love wit her) And it is the main question. WHY they paid her so much attention? Is she special? In real life, I can say, you never can notice such a phenomenal.

 Finally, you realise that her secret was a smell of peanuts. She prefers to use them not a fashionable fragrance from a very expensive brand. And she is successful, you can see it from how all males reacted on her) Their face expressions and emotions. Even one poor fellow on the bicycle had not noticed that car in front of him had stopped)

A commercials like this make you smile)

Ford commercial.

When I first saw this commercial it immediately caught my attention; even though I did not know what it is advertising, did not know the brand advertised. However it had attracted me and I wanted to watch it until the end. Why? What is special about this commercial? After analysing it I understood what arose my attention.

 First thing was music. Actually, it was not music but sounds: the police car siren, also you can hear the acceleration of the car. So you can imagine the speed. You can hear the brakes when car is turning. For me this sounds always associate with risk and danger.

 The next thought was: ’Ohh this guy must be cool, he is speeding in the city area, and trying to escape from cops…’. I became more and more interested in the ending. What was my surprise to see that the driver of the car was a policeman, instead of a cool guy?

 Now what is your prototype of an American policeman? In my opinion they are honest, noble and everybody had to follow them, and you cannot say anything against them. So ,now, what made an ‘honest’ policemen to break the rules and to ’steal’ the car? 

 From their excitement you can see how they enjoying their ’hard work day’. Emotions can tell everything. Like children change their places in this game pursuing each other.  In this case nonverbal cues communicate emotions.

  Poor guy, we can see how he is disappointed. His voice and mimics shows that he is very much surprised by policemen childish behaviour.

I think that the main idea of this commercial was to show that this car is worth of breaking the rules. It has everything what we perceive a good car: design, speed. Even policemen cannot resist it.

And what do you think about this commercial? Had it interested you? What do you feel after watching it?

Do you want to get this car?

In my opinion in this commercial a lot of nonverbal cues, and the examples are very clear:

1. Paralinguistics – the way how policmen talk with each other, the pitch and the rate of speech

2. Objectics -the empty streets of the city

3. Oculesic - very sad eyes of a poor guy

Enjoy the commercial ))
