It's never just media...

There's a meaning behind everything whether we realize it or not.

Before graduating, I enrolled in an honors course entitled "Semiotics for Creators of Popular Media."  The class explored and the constructs between the signifier and the signified in images around us and the over all meaning and message we receive.  While this strategy is common in marketing and advertisement, I've found that the same analysis works just the same when analyzing messages in film. My ten semiotic analysis inspected  sequences from some of my favorites films, both live action and animation.
