Write a short summary of what happens in the film

This film brings to life how the Continental GT Speed allows our hero to make the emotional switch from going about his daily life to entering into “thrill mode” – quickly and effortlessly. As he enjoys the incredible experience of driving this extraordinary car, first in the city and then on the open road, his clothing transforms in front of our eyes from his urban outfit to his running gear – a visual representation of his transition to a state of pure enjoyment.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

The film was designed to appeal to a Modern Affluent audience – younger, more diverse and more connected than traditional luxury consumers.

Tell the jury anything relevant about the edit. Do not name the editor.

The edit was designed to mix seamless transitions and fast-paced cuts, bringing the energy required in a Bentley Continental film. While many car commercials tend to employ long and almost slow-motion shots to show each part of the car in detail, we were able to avoid this thanks to the fact that the body shape of the car was already well-known. This allowed us to take a more modern approach where the edit could become a more playful tool, focusing on the driving experience and the transformation of our character.
