This is an advert of David & Victoria Beckham premoting their new perfume.David is holding on to victoria showing that he is the man in the realtionship, he is looking owards the camera connecting with the audience.Unlike Victoria who is looking away,and resting on his chest,showing she needs him. The name of the perfume anchors the image because the perfume is called 'intimately' and they are together in a sexual way,hence the name. The medium shot shows the couple standing,with davids arm going up victorias dress, here there are some sexual connotations that they are going to or already have had some sexual encounters.

Rebekah Wade (born 27 May 1968 in Cheshire, England) is a British journalist and newspaper editor. She is currently editor of Rupert Murdoch's The Sun newspaper. She is married to the actor Ross Kemp.

She joined the News of the World in 1989 as a secretary, and rose through the ranks, first as a feature writer for its 'Sunday' magazine, before eventually becoming the paper's deputy editor.

In 1998 she transferred to the News of the World's weekday counterpart, The Sun, to become its deputy editor.

She reportedly attempted to persuade David Yelland to get rid of the Page Three Girls.
