Camera movement and editing

 CAMERA MOVEMENT:  The camera movement at the beginning of the scene s slow and steady but begins to speed up at 0:55 as the people dressed in uniform begin to chase the guy who is dressed more casually.

connotations and denotations

  Denotation: there is a boy in the photo who looks disappointed. The background is dull and there is a broken wall next to the boy. He is wearing an old dirty dirty t-shirt. Connotation:  The slogan "dig toilets not graves" suggests people are dying and the other people, like the boy, have to dig the graves of these people.

Also in the corner it says “water aid”. The word aid suggests that this advert is for a charity that is probably trying to raise enough money to send clean water to children in need. Denotation: In the photo there is a photo of an eye, a baby who has...
