  1. What are semiotics? A trip down memory lane. I saw the sign/signs and it opened up my eyes I saw the sign. La la la… Joseph Kosuth “One and Three Chairs” (1965)

  2. (some of the finer points) • Semantics: Relation between signs and the things they refer to, their denotata. • Syntactics: Relation of signs to each other in formal structures. • Pragmatics: Relation of signs to their impacts on those who use them. (Also known as General Semantics)

  9. Methods of Montage1 1. Metric - based solely on timing. Pays no attention to what is happening in the simplest form of montage == the most base emotional reactions • Rhythmic - Concerned with timing but also takes into account the visual composition and varies the speed of the cuts • Tonal - Based on the emotional weight of the shots • Overtonal/Associational - A combination of Metric, Rhythmic and Tonal cuts that elicit sublet and complex emotional response from the audience. • Intellectual - Uses shot juxtaposition of images to draw metaphorical relationships between shots
