  1. Try and guess what could be ‘shocking’ or ‘entertaining’ or ‘different’ about this advert from the few images that are revealed.
  2. Try and guess what could be ‘shocking’ or ‘entertaining’ or ‘different’ about this advert from the few images that are revealed.How about now?
  3. Try and guess what could be ‘shocking’ or ‘entertaining’ or ‘different’ about this advert from the few images that are revealed.And now?
  4. So what is controversial about this advert?The fact that the food is arranged as if it’s a female with her legs in the air as well as the ketchup creating nipples all adds to the controversy of it. This turns a regular, innocent meal into a sexy and attractive dinner because they’ve used Heinz ‘hot ketchup’. (Obviously there are multiple meanings for the word ‘hot’ and this advert is using the ‘fit’/ ‘sexy’ meaning.Some viewers may find seeing nipples on a plate a bit upsetting (especially the older generation) so therefore they may think it’s controversial.
  5. Write a definition of ‘controversial’ in the box above. You can use the internet or a dictionary to research it but make sure you write it in your own words.
  6. Underneath each heading…1) Explain how shocking an audience will get them to notice the product.2) Explain how entertaining an audience will get them to notice the product.3) Explain how these encourage people to buy their product – or don’t they? Do you think they put people off more than get them to do what they want?4) Consider how some adverts use shocking images to raise awareness about their issue.
  7. Fill in the graph first. 5 means it really achieves the topic (if it really shocked you, give it a 5. If you think it’s not funny at all, give it a 0).Then, fill in the analysis table…Why do you think the advertisers made it this way?Who do you think the target audience is?Do you think anyone will be offended by it?Is the advert successful in what it tries to do? If so/not how and why?How do you personally feel about this advert?
  8. Fill in the graph first. 5 means it really achieves the topic (if it really shocked you, give it a 5.

What things would you not expect to see in a print advert?Remember, anyone has access to a print advert – they’re available in many magazines and newspapers and also on billboards which are public.Think about what would be shocking for young children vs. what would be shocking to the elderly.
