[HD] Exclusive Dog Shock Collar Doritos Commercial Super Bowl 44 2010 Super Bowl XLIV
Analysis
First the video starts off with a wide shot to show the viewers that they are at a park. Next is a point of view shot of the dog and than a close up on the shock collar. The shock collar will have some type of meaning later in the story, foreshadowing. Then it's back to a point of view shot of the dog to show that the guy is cruel and wants the dog to speak so the dog will get shocked. Then the shot is Over the Shoulder to show the dog taking off the collar. After it goes to a medium close up to show enough of whats going on. Then the dog puts the collar back around the mans neck and barks so it will shock the man.
