Semiotic Theory

Semiotic Theory (Saussure made)

The semiotic theory is signs and colours given to signify something. For example when we see the sign of the sun shining, it signifies brightness so therefore happiness is signified.

Sign- Signifier- Signify.
For example:

Rain- Moody Music- Depression/Emo
The colour Red- Liverpool, love, lust, anger
Red-Romance- Love
Winter- Rain- Depressed

Sunshine- Summer- Smiles

Colour gives a sign- somethings signified. (+mis-en-scene)
