Labour T.V Ad Last Night

Casting Call ProHmm....no matter my political affiliation I kind of liked the Labour T.V ad and the use of respected actors -in particular James Purefoy who i thought was utterly amazing in 'Injustice' as the barrister with a double life as a murderer. Even mild mannered, intelligent cultured 'barristers' can kill!

A successful actor I knew always talked of the absolute need for believability as an actor. As an audience we need to believe the actor IS that character. That William Travers or whoever is real and is the person he portrays. Achieving that believability is no mean feat as we've all seen wooden actors.

No, if the aim was to get my attention it certainly did that.....................................

Advertising on T.V needs to be clever enough or /and subtle enough to gain and more importantly hold our attention
