Denotation and connotation

Denotation & Connotation blog tasks: advert analysis




Denotation:A boy can be seen seated in a chair. In the distance, there are trees and a cabin.

Connotation:The youngster in the advertisement appears unhappy, and the huts in the background imply that he lives in a low-class neighbourhood, which implies that he is impoverished. The boy's clothes are also filthy, indicating that it's been days since he took a shower or changed.


Analysis:They are promoting as of the sign that reads "water aid" because their filthy garments indicate that they don't have a lot of water. Additionally, there is absolutely no evidence of water and a relatively dry country in the background. The youngster and the surroundings may be dehydrated due to the area's dryness, which implies that if it doesn't rain, the trees and everyone who lives there may eventually perish.





                                          

      

Denotation:You can see a man getting struck in the face in this advertisement. Additionally, the man's face and the other man's hand have cars painted on them.

Connotation:The man in this advertisement is getting punched in the face, a scene that suggests violence and links aggressive people. The colours that are utilised to paint the automobiles on their bodies match the colours used throughout the advertisement, indicating that they are adhering to a single colour scheme that highlights the primary picture and focal point.

Analysis:The fact that the man was punched in the face illustrates the outcome of a car crash, and they are related since the car strikes the other car as the fist strikes the face. This demonstrates that accidents happen and people are wounded both inside and outside of cars. This indicates the lesson that has to be learnt and supports the main argument of the advertisement, which shows that violence is never the solution and that, regardless of how it is applied, it always has a bad impact on people.

Newspapers: The Times - Audience and Industries

      1) What is the main readership demographic for The Times newspaper? Add as much detail as you can. Their main readership demographic is older people as generally newspapers are normally read by older people. People with a high social class might also read the Times and the news in it is mainly targeted to upper class people. The earnings for the Times reader is probably high as their news is targeted to people with high earnings and the Times is also a broad sheet. 2) What aspects of the front page of the Times CSP edition suggest that their readers are likely to be more educated and interested in hard news rather than entertainment?

statement of intent

 I want to make an eye catching and convincing ad for a new line of flavoured water for GCSE media print assignment. The main goal is to appeal to an audience that is active,  health-minded, and environmentally conscious while emphasising the product's advantages and refreshing flavour.  The commercial's main objective is to present the flavour-infused water as the ideal option for people who wish to stay hydrated without sacrificing flavour by promoting it as a low-calorie, healthful substitute for sugary drinks. To appeal to customers who value sustainable and clean components, the advertisement will also highlight the product's natural constituents, such as actual fruit extracts. I will accomplish this by communicating vigour and enthusiasm through bold lettering and vivid, fresh colours. With close-ups of the components, such as fresh fruit, water droplets, and ice, the pictures will highlight the many flavours of the water while evoking a feeling of crispness and fre...
