Skyfall Heineken and Iron Man Audi R8 Ads

The Skyfall Heineken advert is most definitely a mini AA film. It starts with James Bond (a typical AA archetype hero) walking on to a snowy train platform (most likely in Russia) followed by two big looking henchmen (another AA archetype) After brushing past a stranger, Bond rushes off and the henchmen start to chase the other man. He goes on to the train and the scene changes, he appears to be in a casino carriage. He then stumbles in to a Russian hideout with a typical looking villain from an AA movie. He then impresses them and moves on. Eventually he reaches a carriage where there is music playing and after he dances wih a beautiful girl (again another archetype) he gets passed a Heineken beer my James Bond. At the very end you see James Bond jumping from the train and parachuting away as the typical Bond Girl (from Skyfall) gives the man a briefcase

The Iron Man Audi R8 advert is less of a mini AA film as it starts more like a trailer for Iron Man 3. There are shots of Iron crashing in to the ground and explosions, before the caption It's never a bad day at work appears. There is then a shot of Iron man getting in to an Audi car as if this is the car he drives to go to work. It then has shots of the car going fast on a test track. The final captions says 'Tested by Tony Stark (aka Iron Man)

Archetype

An Archetype is a type of character that is well know, whether it be in Film, TV or Literature. These can range from Protagonist or Hero such as Superman or James Bond to love interests like Elizabeth Swann (Pirates Of The Carribean) and Pepper Potts (Iron Man) and even henchmen.

Opening Titles

The opening titles I have chosen are the ones from Dexter.
