One of the most important observations found within the Extraordinary Pantene Commercial is the usage of flash forwards and flash backs. The method of showing the audience this series of events within the girls life in a mangled order makes it easier for the audience to understand her past quickly, and how it will lead to her over all achievement in the future. It also serves as a way for the audience to see into the girls mind while she is on the stage, and what emotions must come with her thoughts, therefore leading to an almost personal connection between the girl and the audience.
Because of the obvious advantages of using flash forwards and flash backs in the commercial, Pantene has made it so that the audience will not only remember the commercial, but also the way that the commercial made them feel as they watched the successful girl “shine” on stage in her future. This development of connection between the audience and the character makes it more likely for the audience to buy the product. The Pantene logo, “You can shine”, finishes off the commercial directly after the girls final performance. This ends the commercial with a powerful message that ties together the girls sad past all the way up to her "extraordinary" future.
again, another topic that I was unaware of that fits beautifully. You tie how the commercial is to be viewed well in the first paragraph but it gets a little muddy later on
