Analysis of Fairy Liquid Advert

-
Fairy Liquid Advert: The main aim of advertising is to establish a need. The Fairy Liquid advert is establishing the need of being clean. DENOTATIONS: Starts off with medium shot of father cleaning. Cuts to medium shot of child with Fairy liquid in the background. Emotional appeal; little kid who's doing cute things (e.g. wanting to make a rocket).
