semiotics

Semiotics is a broad subject , connotation , and denotation are the main ones that i have related too a lot , throughout the years , mainly as i did media and we used to discuss it a lot .Denotation being the physical appearance of an image or a scene , and basically whatever you see , and the connotation  will be the detail and meaning behind it , semiotics is all about the look and how one little thing ca change the whole meaning , like one example from lecture , if you have a paperclip it could be anyones , but as soon as you add some decoration to it , it becomes personalised , someone else's , and it can make all the different .
 Even if there is an image with some different language wording , the writing makes all the difference , because it may say something about the image that can change your whole point of view ,
Example : colour red .... if you have like a knife , on it , the colour automatically becomes blood and murder or if you have a heart in the red colour , the colour means passion and love , one thing , one image one sentence and change the whole meaning of something , that Semiotics .
