2.)Athletic body connotes that the subject is in condition and well prepared for the

‘battle’.

 No direct address but the subject’s eyes are focused on pushing the heavy tyre

(physical exertion) which connotes determination and power in the face of adversity.

This is reinforced by his facial expression which has his mouth open in a roar which

connotes supremacy and effort.

 Dress code has connotations of strength since the trainers are engaged in the

activity and the clothes are functional and appropriate for task so they connote

success and durability. The make-up shows sweat and dirt which has connotations

of being ready for action and taking part / effort.

3)

The clear function of the narrative: to persuade people of the superior quality and

sophistication of the Galaxy product.

 The structure of the narrative: it follows a linear structure and features versions of

iconic actors from the glamorous era of Hollywood (a CGI Audrey Hepburn and a

lookalike for Gregory Peck) associated with sophistication and desirability.

 Character types can be seen as outdated stereotypes of masculinity and femininity

(‘damsel in distress’ scenario) with Audrey Hepburn cast as the ‘heroine’ character

type (Propp) with the male chauffeur coming to her aid as the ‘Hero’ archetype and

rescuing her. However, another interpretation would see Hepburn as the ‘Hero’ of

the narrative, taking matters into her own hands and forcing the driver of the car into

the ‘Helper/Donor’ position, enabling her to complete her quest.
