Semiotics

 semiotics (semeiotikos) "interpreter of signs".




An example would be the heart. The heart is associated with love, life, muscle, emotions, body, feelings and the colour red (and even pink). These are signified of the 'heart'. But the signifier of the heart is the key muscular organ in the body.

Signified                                            Signifier

Blood                                                 Feelings
Organ                                                 Romance
Body                                                  Sweet
Pump                                                  Love

Semiotics is a system for deciphering and analysing the visual or moving images and for discussing and justifying the meaning of the visual images. In regards to my film, my signs will include my characters clothes, signifying to audiences perhaps what social group they come from and even their personality.
