It's an advert for travel insurance, - not an airline. Were it for a real airline, rest assured that the crew would ensure that seat belts were correctly fastened as they would on an actual flight.
Luckily they’re insured if an incident did occur.
Filmed in a studio set. No actual flight ended up being delayed.
For reality's sake, to make the TV advert more true to life, seat belts could have been worn by the actors. Are the watchers of TV adverts not supposed to spot obvious errors?
TV adverts are inserted between programmes or even parts of programmes. The rely on both attentive and subliminal retention of their content. The cost of producing and eventual airtime can be very expensive compared with other media distribution, so they must be highly effective as some product lines have been advertised on TV for decades. There is no obligation to make every detail of the set or situation accurate or realistic unless it materially misleads viewers about the product itself.
The mention included the ridiculous effective cost of collecting all of the set, so hardly an positive advert. Product placement is becoming more blatant on Hollywood movies that any BBC mention of brand names.
To be fair to that advert it's ambiguous as to how far she had gone before she decided she couldn't go any further
The woman in the TV advert was the person who claimed that she could go no further, which brought about the response from the other woman and the screen image then showed the nearness of the car park.
They may have set off hours ago, walked miles and looped back to the car park
The woman in the TV advert certainly gave the impression from the position she was shown in and the direction she was facing, that she had only just left the car in the car park.
That must be in one of them that I missed. The last one I saw was the three men in the hotel pool.
Quite possible. Trivago is a german subsidiary of Expedia, - a global US company. Why should it make any difference if actors with american accents are spoken in an advert?
I did not query that point. All that I queried was the fact that American accents appeared to be used. It is an advert range that supposedly concerns UK with pound sterling being mentioned in some, so why not use British actors?
The actors may not even be speaking English. For multinational companies like this, often an advert will be filmed once and dubbed into different languages.
Clearly the message hit its target audience, so no reason not to.
Noting your comment about a target audience, can I ask what type of hotel accommodation costs £210.00 per night, a figure used as a benchmark in many of the Trivago adverts. Outside London and Edinburgh, very reasonable quality hotel suites can be sourced at much lower prices per night.
The ridiculously irritating Febreeze adverts are noticeable for this
You could visit the Trivago website and see for yourself!
I've paid more than what would be well over £200 by now* in the UK, well outside London.
I thought that Trivago were just a comparison website that reviewed other hotel website providers and confess that I was unaware that they were an organisation which actually ran hotel chains.
We appear to both have retired in the year 2010 in a position of some seniority. Our consultancy had a section which booked hotel rooms for consultancy staff both in the UK and abroad at a reasonable standard and were in a position to negotiate special hotel rates.
