The types of shots used in the commercial are mainly full shots with some close-up shots as well. When the woman hands the child to her father, the camera zooms in to the father’s face for a close-up shot. Most of the other shots in the commercial are full shots. At one point, the commercial shows an aerial view of the car in an extreme long shot. The audio in the ad is the sound of the woman’s father as he drives around in his new Mercedes B-Class. There is also some music in the background as h speaks, but which becomes louder when he stops talking.
