  • Denotations of Nina Ricci advert
    • Branches are made of crystals
    • White background, wearing a white gown 
    • Red apples in the background



    Connotations of Nina Ricci advert
    • The white background and the dress she is wearing shows the inocence of the woman and can show purity as she is meant to be snow white and she is from a childrens fairy tale so she is supposed top be the innconent pure victim.
    • The shape of the perfume bottle has the same shape as the red apples in the background this is related to snow white as in snow white she eats the poisionous apple it is just as if the apple is there to tempt her.
    • The crystal branches make a a fairy tale garden this advert is based on snow white which is a fairy tale so it has to be fairy tale like hence the crystal branches.

    1. A good start but there isn't enought detail in the explanantion. Follow the idea until the end i.e.- the crystal branches = enchanted forest= snow white= fairytale= magical= perfume offers consumers a fantasy life = you wear this perfume to gain a little magic in your life.

      Do you see how this is more detailed than you analysis? Please edit this post an re-do your analysis.
