I'm working in a group of 3 with Ben Brearley and Dom Ellis on a slasher film opening with the working title of Black Nightmare, and on this blog you'll see all the research and planning behind our production.

SEMIOTIC RAP

I've made a rap about semiotics so listen tight,
and these signifiers I think about almost every night,
It's all about symbolic meaning, if you've got that then you've got it right,
and then you could have it signified, yeah you just might,
denotation is all about what you hear or what you see,
and if you've got that then you're on a spree,
which Dave's trying to tell us for free,
this links to connotation which is just the symbolic meaning of these factual details whoopee,
binary opposition is where it's at,
male/female, rich/poor, small/tall are examples of that,
it's all about generating conflict like a dog and a cat,
polysemy anchorage, i see you confused,
where something has many possible meanings, that's where it's used,
commutation test, i see you stressed,
but what about what you don't see , what's being addressed,
that's the commutation test, so don't get depressed.
