Luxury Water

Luxury Water

• High-angled close-up shot of the woman in the bath.
• This gesture of her hands could be symbolic of prayer
• The mise-en-scene of her hands are crinkled. This shows she has been in the bath for a long time. They are symbolic that she's had too much water. Her crinkly hands are symbolic of excess of water.
• The mise-en-scene of the bath is standard and relatable for a normal consumer.
• The naked woman in the bath acts as a hermeneutic code, because it creates mystery
• This goes against the male-gaze theory, as despite her being naked in the bath, it is not sexual. The camera angle makes it this way. 
• This image is extremely subversive of the representation of women.
• This person is androgynous and gender neutral
• The point of this advert isn't that she's naked.
• We do not know where the paragraph is from, because it lacks anchorage 
• In Sao Palo, there is poverty. This showcases a level of inequality within the world
• The articles dominant ideological message, is to present the inequality within the world. It shows that water is a necessity, yet to some people it is a luxury
• The advert on the right is an advert for a tap.
