Guinness Hair Advert
The Guinness hair advert is an advert which shows a guy with no hair or facial hair who gradually grows a full head of hair and a beard, whilst this is happening it also flashes between a empty glass of Guinness which is slowly filling up at the same rate that the man’s hair is growing. The advert finally comes to an end with a full pint of Guinness with a caption saying “good things come to those who wait” The advert is designed to make us wait right until the very end of the advert before showing us the final product which they are advertising so you can visualise the message they are trying to push upon us.
The advert is made by filming a man having his hair shaved off bit by bit and then playing it in reverse so that it gives off the illusion that his hair is growing. This is a good effect because it would take forever to film the actor’s hair growing but by using this method makes it possible.
The purpose of this advert is to show the viewers that Guinness is a really high quality product and that it is definitely worth waiting for.
Personally i really like this advert as it uses a very unique method of making you wait the entire duration of the advert before showing us the viewers what the product they are marketing is, i also feel that the advert has been really well thought out and does the product great justice as it clearly gets across the message off “Good things come to those who wait”.
