  1. I would use the first commercial. It uses emotion to draw the viewer in and keeps them there because they want to know what happens in the end. Perhaps be more clear of the setting where the family is, where the father is compared to the mother and daughter. Other than that, it looks good!

  2. I feel as if the first one is the better of the two. Although I don't feel as if either commercial depicts sexuality the way we have been discussing it in class.

  3. It took me long to put a comment, sorry. I couldn't relate two commercial to sexuality, but we can do analysis on both of commercial no matter what the content is and doing analysis, noticing details, reveal hidden meaning or how we interpret information and so on also relate to the course content.
    The first commercial may relate to sexuality, but not really obvious. As we learned, sexuality can hold a lot of meanings. Man and woman has their own roles based on a culture and the commercial set up that the driver's role is father's role, as most of families are so. Of course mother can drive the car, too. Am I the only one who think usually father drives? Because father or man is usually physically strong or tough, like Brendan pointed out after we watched the Jennifer Lopez movie? Are men just gentle to their wife?
    I would use the first one cause it seems like there are lots more to write.
