Denotation, Connotation & Representation


           Denotation:

  • People holding hands
  • 2 adults (1 male, 1 female)
  • 3 young children
  • On a beach 
  • All the people are smiling
  • Long shot
  • Sharp focus
  • Direct address
          Connotation:
  • The people are holding hands, this body contact between each other connotes that they are a family because it shows that they know each other
  • The 2 adults suggest that they are the parents because of the way they are set out
  • The 3 children look similar which connotes that they are siblings and makes them a family
  • As they are on a beach and the way that they are dressed tells us that it is summer
  • All of the people are smiling which suggests that they are happy, having fun and enjoying themselves
          Representation:
  • The people represent a family
  • The staging of the people represent that they are walking away from the beach 
  • The clothing and costume represents that it is summer and they are relaxing because they are all dressed casually and informally
