Preliminary Exercise 1: Semiotics

 Introduction to Ferdinand de Saussure's Theory of Semiotics

Who is Ferdinand? Ferdinand was a Swiss linguist, semiotician and philosopher. Who made a foundation to many significant developments. What is his theory? his theory was of language from two different perspectives, language is a system of signs. The objective of the preliminary exercise is to analyze media products and evaluate my work by applying knowledge and understanding of theoretical and creative approaches. I think Saussure's theory is important to film, for example the animation film Tom and Jerry.




Reflection

What I learned from Saussure's theory is the relationship between signs and the meanings they convey, I understand how language and symbols influence communication and perception. Saussure's theory emphasizes how meaning relies on the connection between signs in language and communication, highlighting the importance of understanding the signifier and signified components of signs.
