Today I am going to go over how the Media presents it's signals and messages in its very own language to the audience, some of it is very discrete however some of it is very obvious to the audience here are some examples.
Signs: Signs in the media can come in many different forms such as...
-Colour: Colour can be used as a sign to the audience by indicating certain characteristics about a character or setting for example the blonde hair colour indicates innocence within the character as it is very bright where as a character wearing all black and red would be considered evil as Black is very dark were as red signifies blood.

Blonde hair usually is a sign/symbol for beauty
or innocence
|
Semiotics: Shows various signals and signs in media. A lot of people accuse it of propaganda with hidden messages in films. They are usually difficult to see and usually indicate the personality of the character involved or something that the audience can relate to.

For example in this scene of he film Avatar
in the background you can quite clearly see the American
flag symbol on the window as if its a hidden message |
