I want to think that I would just be laughing the whole time. I tend to laugh when I'm nervous, so I think that's the most likely result.

Yeah, I'm aware of that...

Individuals vary.  Put two different people on a rollercoaster.  While one may have the time of their life, the other may absolutely hate the experience even though they both underwent the exact same thing.

People's states of mind can result in varied behavior as well.  To give an anecdotal example, back when I lived in New Mexico, a teen and his friends smoked a joint and decided to explore the desert a bit.  They came upon a cave and entered with a flashlight.  After several minutes of walking, the flashlight died leaving them in pitch black.  At that instant everyone freaked out, but while most of them abruptly stopped when faced with this, the one boy got scared and started running... and fell to his death in a mine shaft.

Again, people's behavior can vary.  Just look at this thread; most of us would freak out, but while I would (hopefully) remain rational, others stated that they would probably hit her.

I was expecting this to be that Samsung video.

Obviously fake/staged. You can even easily see that the flickering lights actually is a computer animated effect (thus proving that the lady in the beginning of the video was just pretending to be nervous when the lights (never actually) started flickering).



It's a fun idea though. If they successfully pulled it off I probably would have shat my pants.

nahh, the flickering is only made for us for the atmosphere but she didn't pretend to see that, she just looked so weird because of that sound which you can hear in the backround exactly at this moment (between second 28 and 29) which shall let her think that the elevator stopped or just that the elevator made some weird sound to confuse her. it's the same sound as you can hear at second 21.

She also looked so weird because she is an actor. The guys who recorded this wouldn't want to waste time trying out hundreds of different random subjects since that would be extremely time consuming. Hiring some actors whose job is to make funny, believable reactions saves them a lot of time and effort.

not everything is fake, i gave you the perfect explanation and now you try to find something else lol...

I obviously assumed that she was an actor in my first post as well...

sure because of how she reacted to the flickering but she didn't react to that, she reacts to the sound which i explained. and if you think it's more easy to take 10 actors doing this again and again until it looks real for all of them i think you don't know how much work it is to do something like this because that's much more work in the end.

Not at all. When using actors they can just say, "Cut" whenever they want and redo the entire scene immediately. If they use random persons they only have one shot to nail the scene, and that's after going through all the efforts required to make those persons enter the elevator with no suspicions in the first place. They would waste a huge amount of time using that method, and the end result would still be worse.
