Analysing Soap Operas

Image
Coronation Street -  Faye finds out she's pregnant. This video clip is from coronation street and it shows a young teenage girl finding out she's pregnant. Foreshadowing the dominant stereotype that young people are irresponsible. However, this is not an accurate representation as teenage pregnancy is going down rapidly than other years.

Another stereotype is that boys are uncaring and not friendly but the boy in this clip is challenging the stereotype because he shows compassion and warmth to Faye.

My Advert / Analysis

Image
My Advert The psycho graphic audience for my product is females using it for everyday cleaning of their hair.  The background represents how hygienic and healthy the shampoo is by showing nature, as nature is seen as natural.  The colour green implies an organic smell which indicates the buyer they well end up with a natural and cleanliness smell.  The use of the bubbles have connotations of lightweight and freshness making your hair feel nice and light after use of the shampoo.  The use of the colour white and the waterfall represents cleanliness and purity where as the colour blue indicates freshness and healthiness.  The tag line "For everyday cleaning that's not so everyday" has connotations of luxury and richness as its not for everyday but the buyer can use it everyday as its not expensive.

Advert Analysis

Image
This print advert shows a knife being used to cut though a carrot and a chopping bored implying that the knife is so sharp it can cut though the wood. The colour silver implies that the knife is shiny, modern and clean and also often symbolises wealth. The target audience is mainly people who cook. However, on the other hand its stereotypically women who cook and would pick out the utensils for cooking. This print advert shows Pepsi light in crates on the roof instead of the floor implying that the Pepsi is light enough for them to float meaning it is a less sugary drink and is a no-calorie carbonated cola soft drink. This visual hyperbole is used to convey the message that this drink is not laden with sugar and calories. It is particularly persuasive as it playfully suggests that the consumers of Pepsi light won't gain any weight. Pepsi's trademark and blue branding draws attention to the work light in the products name allowing the reader to get the joke...
