    I need help with my media coursework; its stressing me out! -madsign1What are the connotations and denotations of this Dulux PaintPod TV ad? Connotation is the literal meaning and denotation is what it suggest; like home suggest warmth and confort.

    umm...from the ad....this is whut i think its about...

    1. she runs up the stairs and he opens his curtains to show his blue wall...she shrugs and is like meh...
    2. he re-paints it creamy color...and she gives no reaction
    3. so he closes the curtains re-paints it that pinky color...coz his curtains are closed shes curious
    4. he's finished opens the curtains and she sneak smiles...and turns her light off
    5. runs over to his house and kisses him....to say she likes it..

    sooo um literally...its saying how easy/fast this 'paint pod' is...?...
    at the same time get you a gurlie..?..haha...i dunno..

    I think the connotations are the more tangible aspects of the ad (facts, descriptions, footage of the actual product etc).

    The denotations would be the atmosphere, or implications of what this product might do/ bring (in this case it can get you a girl)
