INTRODUCTION TO ROLAND BARTHES' THEORY OF SEMIOTICS
In addition to Saussure's theory, we learn about
Roland Barthes's theory of Semiotics. To start, I can say that Roland was born
in 1915-1980, he was a philosopher and semiotician. Today, we learn about his
perspective on the semiotic theory. To start, Barthes believes that everything
around us like images, words, and objects that are identified as signs can have
multiple meanings depending on the Denotation and the connotation of the sign.
Denotation is the literal or original meaning, and connotation is the meaning
based on context, a sign can have multiple connotations.
The purpose of this assignment is to help us identify
the meaning behind each sign that we observe. Not only that, but Barthes'
theory will help us in the future with the mise-en-scene especially for our
films opening these theory the Saussure and Barthes theory show us the
importance of the object, the words and the image we will be putting Infront of
a camera, which tell us that when we are doing our movie opening there are some
object, image and word that might not go with certain theme or content.
I think importance of the theory is to help us
understand why a sign might have multiple meaning and to help media content
producers on creating better content. teaching us to be more mindful of using
certain sign in order to communicate a clearer message to our audiences.
For this Assignment I help, by creating the example
slide which is the 3rd slide where I went out and search for the sign the image
the denotative meaning and connotative meaning behind each of those signs. I
also help create PowerPoint to look more presentable.
Reflection
From this assignment, I learn of a new theory with new
terms. That can help decoding a message sent by a media content. I've also
realized now I'm paying more attention to the image word object in any movies,
films I've consume lately.
