Orangina ad
The style of the orangina advert is surreal. We know this because of the bear costume and the fact he's wearing beach shorts. He's also on the setting on a beach and is holding props like a paddle and the product.
It's also humorous because of the sound at the end, it's a celebration jingle and a man just got hit with a satellite.
The form of the advert is a narrative. We know this because we follow a story of a man and bear playing beach tennis and as the advert goes on we see how the prop which is the product has an impact on how they play. The man who doesn't drink it is unlucky and gets hit by a satellite.
The orangina advert uses the characteristics of selling the lifestyle. We know this because they're having fun on the beach in the advert so it's selling the idea that if you have the drink then you will be a part of the quirky lifestyle and you will be good at beach tennis.
