PRELIMINARY EXERCISE 2: ROLAND BARTHES' THEORY OF SEMIOTICS ANALYSIS
INTRODUCTION
Roland Barthes was a French literary theorist and philosopher. Roland Barthes was the creator of the Theory of Semiotics. The Theory of Semiotics is the study of signs and symbols and their use or interpretation. The relationship of myth, denotation, and connotation in our society falls in their signification, they contain signs, signifiers, and the signified. We use these in our society to give meaning and messages we want to convey. Roland Barthes' Theory of Semiotics is beneficial towards planning a film as it provides meaning and possible messages that can be portrayed inside the film. The goal of my exercise was to be able to analyze the provided film and its codes and evaluate its connotations inside the table. I watched a video clip from YouTube from the film "Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2", the clip pertained of eye-catching props and costumes, a distinct setting, and a certain way of acting. The three visual codes and audio codes consisted of, the Mockingjay dress, ceremonial stage, stiff expressions, and finally the crowd roars and shock. All of these codes combined build the narrative for the scene which was to show an uprising and a great upset across their society.
