An introduction to Semiotics

In the lesson today, I learnt about semiotics. We were told that semiotics are the following things:

• Colour 
• Camera shots and angles
• Clothing
• editing
• Mise-en-scene

I was explained that visual semiotics was the study of signs and codes. The definition we were given on how they were used was as followed: ''producing, conveying and interpreting messages and codes that govern their use. We where then explained, through the use of different examples, a range of colour corrections; camera shots and angles.

After the lesson I spent some time research into semiotics theory. Below was one of the videos posted by another teacher giving a more in depth explanation.
