David Beckham chases after a car that drove off with his dressing gown. He runs through neighbors' yards and jumps over cars in just his boxer shorts to catch up to the vehicle. While chasing the car, Beckham's shirt rips off so that he is nearly naked. Tourists eventually spot and photograph Beckham in his underwear. The ad promotes Beckham's boxers from H&M while also portraying him as constantly pursued by paparazzi photographers.

everywhere he runs while he is chasing the car, it pretty much stays on him while
he is running. There is also a lot of close-ups of the boxers while they’re on
Beckham. Advertising Techniques – What techniques are used and why?
There is a variety of techniques used throughout of the advert one of these are sex
because David Beckham is pretty much naked. He starts off in a vest, boxers and a
dressing gown. By the end he is only in boxers. This will most likely get the advert a
lot more viewers because Beckham is an extremely popular well known good
looking footballer. Another technique as well as sex is humour, for example when
the car pulls of his dressing gown. There is also a little exaggeration used in this
because he pretty much keeps up with the car, even though he is an athlete and he
is a good/fast runner he most likely wouldn’t be able to keep up with it.
