The scene used for the picture is creatively made since it uses the notion of bowling to help in the advertisement of its product. The setting is a bowling area.

Just before the image was shot the character prepared to take aim in a perfected picture that assists to capture the image that is to be relayed as the advertisement tool. The subsequent scene will include the use of the fragrance in taking aim in the bowling area. Outside the visual context, there is the advertisement of the fragrance through personnel that is worn in the merchandise of the product as they strive to create awareness and sell their products in the area where the visual was taken.
Words.
Words are used minimally with the image, and their primary use is in the advertisement of what is being advertised by the company, and that is the fragrance that is being used. The text apparently interprets the image through the naming of the primary context of the product. The use of words is very effective as it creates a mental image that is easily remembered by individuals at a later date (Edell 45). Words are clear and concise on what is being discussed
Tone.
The mood used in the visual conveys a sense of delight and exuberance. This is associated with the effects that are expected from the perfume once applied. Elements that are used to illustrate the tone include the use of the individual who seems lively and the setting at which the advertisement is organized. Colors used in the picture are lively thus a creation of imagination.
The audience is not suited for the elderly as the fragrance is mainly suited for the young audience. Chance Chanel is mostly associated with young individuals as depicted in the image as well as the activity that is being undertaken as they may not represent the objectives of the fragrance line that is vitality and energy.
