Semiotics within my film

What are Semiotics?

  • A language, by definition, is a semiotic process through which thought may be conveyed, that a language system enables a response to that by using the degrees and kinds of signs and signifiers is produced by the language. Film uses not only words, but also different kinds of shots, angles and speeds; therefore, while the audience can react to a film's semantic intent, that audience cannot address its concerns regarding the film in the same language the film used to convey its argument.
In my film the language used is emotive, to show fear and to emphasise why the protagonist fears the antagonist. There are a lot of varied shots but most common are subliminal and canted shots which give the audience a sense of illusion. Composition was key for this film as I had to ensure that my actors were positioned correctly and I had to be sure of accurate continuity.
