/// SEMIOTICS3 Semiotics rap

TASK

We had to make a semiotics rap. This is in order to help us remember these terms so we can use them regularly. It's a fun and easier way to remember these different terms.

SEMIOTICS RAP

My verses

Semiotics rap this is the way to go

Lots of different terms a bit like juxtapose

I’m guessing you want to know what that means

Well it’s something you see often on your tv screens

The places of two images on either side

Of an edit, creating a divide

This means there is an effect caused

That’s a pretty smart term, how bout you give me an applause

I think it’s about time we look at our next term

Connotation, that’s one to learn

The symbolic meaning of every factual detail

Knowing this, a levels are not something you will fail

Let’s look at the main man Roland Barthes

When it comes to effort, he worked the hardest

Born 1915 and died in Paris, France

Now give us a few seconds this is the semiotics dance

Emma's verses

Now that that’s done we can move on

We can research binary opposition 

a pair of related terms or concepts that are opposite

That’s pretty cool, isn’t it

we look at a picture and we denote

but then you have to write some notes

these note are signifiers and connotes

idk what to say so eat some oats

many signifiers leads to an anchor

we needed that or it sank her

signifiers have many possible meanings 

polysemy can be good on screening

there is preferred reading 

negotiated reading

oppositional reading

don’t know what it means, do some reading

Our verses together

Spooky scary narrative enigma 

Gives the character a bad stigma

With intertextuality, everything links

Like episodes of the Simpsons, don't you think?

Narrative enigma gives some mystery

Making people wonder who is he?

The point is that we don't know

Because on screen we don't let it show

We keep it hidden till the very end

And then the connotations are what we send

The symbolic meaning of every factual detail

Connotations even found in Donald Trump's email

Proppian archetypes are a base

I'm about to spill my metaphorical briefcase

Each media text has its archetypes

For example the hero bringing the hype

Equilibrium is where it all starts 

Keeping it chill until it all falls apart 

Todorov is the owner of this theory 

Now we don’t have to query
