Key Concepts homework blog task: Megladon 2


  • Language
    The poster uses dark blue colours, a giant shark and splashing water to create a dangerous

  • and exciting atmosphere. The large shark makes it clear that the film is

  • about a monster and the bold yellow title stands out. The slogan “NEW MEG. OLD CHUM.”

  • also suggests the film contains humour as well as action.


  • Institution
    Meg 2: The Trench was produced and distributed by Warner Bros. The poster promotes

  • it as a big-budget Hollywood action film by focusing on the famous actor Jason Statham,

  • the huge shark and the spectacular underwater setting. It also clearly shows that it is a sequel

  • to The Meg.


  • Audience
    The poster is aimed at people who enjoy action, adventure and monster films. The large shark

  • and action scene attract audiences who want excitement, while Jason Statham appeals to fans

  • of action movies. The poster makes the film look entertaining rather than completely scary.

  • Representation
    The poster represents Jason Statham as a brave and powerful action hero because he is shown

  • facing the giant shark instead of running away. The shark is represented as a huge and

  • dangerous threat. The contrast between the small human and enormous shark shows the

  • danger humans face in the film.

Denotation & Connotation blog tasks: Advert Analysis

The WaterAid advert sends a clear message saying instead of digging graves we should be digging toilets with clean water. The young child is shown upset and is used to make people feel sympathy for the poor kids living in harsh conditions. The use of the phrase "not graves" is powerful as it informs us that death is a common occurrence in these areas. The charity's message could be to inform the people that kids are dying and donating could help reduce deaths and improve living conditions.
