With male humour, when one of the players are trying to get on the van but keeps driving off, when ever he tries to get in. Player getting food from a snack stall bar, where you always get them at football stadiums. The promo video is natural acting with cross cutting dialogue with hand-held camera as it’s like a documentary as if you are there, it’s also like watching a short film. We see the football pitch with the goal then it cuts to the changing room with the old football players chatting and laughing with still male humour, all getting hyped up for the game. The old football players are England football legends back from the World Cup 1966, it’s to say they still have it and doesn’t matter what age you can play football.

The car parts are all set like a domino all going down, hitting the next one after the next, as it shows what a car does e.g. Car window going down, the car engine turning on, the car speakers playing music, a upbeat song. We hear the sounds of the car parts of what they do and the sound of metal, with the wheel rolling hitting onto another wheel. With water being sipped onto the floor with the car wipes cleaning it all up. The upbeat music is towards the end with hitting the car key where we see the full car on a display rolling down up to the floor, with a voiceover “Isn’t it nice? To have something work” meaning the car and the domino it all worked to look fancy and cool.

They dress as warriors like knights in the medieval time where football all began. You have the enemy stealing all the Pepsi putting it on in a cage. When a child falls and drops the ball, it rolls to someone’s foot, the music and atmosphere stop as its ‘David Beckon’ where the camera moves up to his face and the back of his name like in football. The other players, that are famous, have their own thing and scene, doing football tricks. At the end is the famous football rule of ‘free kick’ where the enemy is set up as a line, with humour and the leader being the goalkeeper of the cage with the Pepsi as the goal. Football goes over their heads, hitting onto the lock, where all the Pepsi falls out onto the enemy. Beckon drinks the Pepsi as victory and endorsement towards the audience, linking football to Pepsi.

The celebrity is Matthew Broderick, where they put a lot of references from his famous film ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ so fans of the film will be intrigue with the promo and car. At start it’s like watching a short film, where he pretends his sick to have a day off, but he is playing himself, as it’s a parody to his film. Then there are really nice shots of Miami with the trees, sky and seaside with upbeat music, making the video quick and a lot of energy, catching the audience attention. The video has humour because of the actor and references from the film. Then you see shots of the Honda CR-V, where the actor says “you have good taste in automobiles” and he then drives it with camera crane going down to see the car and close-ups to the logo on the car. At the end it, he thinks his giving his car to the hotel, but it’s a thief who steals it and adding the humour with him saying in the front “ if you don’t stop for a while, you might miss it” where the car in background gets stolen. Car goes in the air and lands on to a road, with text appears of the name of the car and a voiceover saying this the car you need to get, the last shot ends with the back of the car with the logo then it goes to single image of the logo.
