Denotations and Connotations are words we use when we describe meanings of media, whether it be a TV commercial or the front cover of Vogue. A Denotation refers to the literal meaning of a word, the 'dictionary defintition' for example:
 |
| Waterloo Road |
The girl on the far right is wearing school uniform this denotes she is a school girl. A Connotation on the other hand refers tot he associations that are connected to a certain word or the emotions suggestions to that word, for example: The girl on the far left has her mouth slightly open, this connotes she could be shocked or upset.
