Recap on Basics

denotation = basic or surface meaning, what is it  

connotation = the deeper meaning, what does it mean 

media product references another media product = intersexuality 


Advertising works by making the audience feel slightly unsatisfied with what they have 


MEDIA LANAGUAGE!!!

eg. shot types
mise en scene
camera angles 
codes


Dark haired, fair skin woman- model 
red lips match background and bottle
serif font 
white, red black colour scheme- binary opposition
image of product
variety of text size
direct address- hermeneutic  
poster split in half- layout
lots of hair- mise-en-scene
red-setting
mid shot of model
hand outstretched- referential code for 5 
glossy hair- peroretic 

The word Paris suggests wealth and European, international style

The recognisable Loreal logo instantly shows the audience the worth of the product 

Full lips could connote Kylie Jenner as she is currently a popular iconic in the beauty industry 

Conforms to normal layouts of beauty products: image of product with model representing it 




mise-en-scene of the models pale skin combined with red lips could reference Vampire films like Twilight 

she is subverting stereotypical images of woman as she is not smiling and giving direct address to the audience 

Red lips could symbolise scandal and sex, combined with the lack of clothes gives the middle aged woman a sexy aspirational look

curvature of the bottle could symbolise womens body shapes 

Binary opposition of the red and white could be seen as scandal vs virginty 

Gold lettering on bottle suggests worth, value and pride
