NoitulovE 

08.10.17

NoitulovE is a British advert showcased on television on the 3rd October 2005 and was made to promote Guinness.  This 60 second advert would go on to be praised by many critics, calling it "A flawless DGI production to an irresistible piece of music propelling a brilliant, astonishingly witty new iteration of a longstanding, unique positioning”, as well receiving many awards.


From the AD we can see that the target audience are men at their late twenties to early thirties. 


Their slogan, “Good things come to those who wait” is featured in the end of the advert, and was quite suitable at the time as it was first ad since its four-year hiatus.

The ad does use some humour, as the music that plays, The Rhythm of Life, and the visual effects used gives the ad a comedic feel to it. Going back millions of years to primitive fish who drank dirty water, it was a long time to wait through evolution until they could drink in the pub as modern men.

The visual effects mostly used in this ad was CGI but it another visual effect used was the video reversed.
