representation when the perceived objects of a film are built into a particular
picture of a state of affairs, a story, or an argument. Film is regularly discussed
in courses in aesthetics; and books examining film from the standpoint of
philosophical aesthetics have begun to multiply.
Film is simply a very different sort of thing than literature. Even though
texts go into the making of the most films, films themselves are not linguistics
texts. Many films address ethical questions and morally loaded situations, and
this is part of the reason why we find them interesting. Films occasionally also
prompt moral criticism. Some of such criticism focuses on events in the
creation of films. The film is often praised for its cinematic mastery and for its
stunning scenes and powerful images and symbols. The majority view today is
that film is an art form and, hence, many cinematic works and artworks. The
relevant art form in the case of film is not painting but drama (Livingstone and
Plantinga, 2009).
2.3 Semiotics
Representament (R)
words, the sign is something that is not visible but has a lot of meaning consists
with the existing reason, facts and rules.
2.4.1 Representament
It is clear that these signs are the sign and it can be of all categories
but qualisign and sinsign are difficult to understands. When he says “The
representament has nothing to do with the sign” and these sinsigns is kind
of a very strange and it just forms a sign through the real shape. The latter
are so difficult to understand that they are not qualisigns at all, as the term
was defined by Peirce. Peirce must be saying, rather that a sinsign must
have qualitiy but that its significance is not for the qualities of the sign.
In the legisign is not all rules or laws become the signs, a law that is
meant here is the recognition of the listener; in addition, the listener must
imply those rules in certain circumstances, the actual meaning directly
from the speech.
2.4.2 Object
This object from all three respectively have in common with each
other, in other words, between Icon and Index both have a real form of
the sign. Just its mention being different. The Symbol is a combination
of Icon and Index and it became accepted by the general public (the
convention).
It can be concluded that the signs are never more than one category
from trichotomy except if analyzed as different sign. This is Evidence of
the powerful Peirce view; as combination of different trichotomy, not as
a combination of the trichotomy category.
2.4.3 Interpretant
Example: someone who is red eyes may indicate that the person
has been crying, mad, or waking up.
