Understanding Media Advertisements:
Before looking at the advertisements, here are some questions you can ask yourself to help you de-construct meaning:
1. What are they trying to sell?
2. How are they trying to sell it to you?
3. What is appealing about the images/videos?
4. How can these send false messages to some audiences?
5. What sort of models are they using to promote the product?
6. What messages could someone of a different background to you gain from these images/videos
