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.
