Thorpe Park...

The two clips below are from a series of adverts shown on TV for new rides at Thorpe Park. I thought these particular adverts were interesting because they focus on one person and the the person riding on the attraction. This could signify that the advert itself could be the actual experience of the persons ride or their interpretation of the ride.


This first clips shows the person looking up at the ominous ride as if its the first time he has seen something like this, giving the impression that the ride is mighty and dominating. You then see the persons expression while he is riding the attraction, and his mind kind of flies off to space when the ride reaches its highest peak which could signify the grandness and height of the ride. He then shows a variety of expressions afterward showing the ride has not ended.



This advert shows a guy standing bare footed in a bathtub full of ice cubes. His expression looks like he is really surprised about this, or even scarred from some sort of experience. He looks down and lava is beneath his feet and we see the ride being used. This could be the memory of when he was riding the attraction, possbly the first time as he look like he was still recovering from it.
