Barthes theory of signs

 I know this isn't something related to the advanced portfolio, but I thought it was a good example regarding postmodernism. It's one of the components that in A-level we need to learn and know about. 

Our main focus isn't about postmodernism with this project, but one thing that stood out to me is the fact that we are applying Roland Barthes theory in our film. Obviously, there is many more theories and concepts that are being applied throughout our film but with Barthes theory in particular, he talks about " that everything communicates meaning through signs, which have a physical form (signifier) and mental concept (signified). Language and style, claiming that they are not purely creative, but is influenced by conventions." This goes hand in hand with my previous post because I was mentioning how certain places in the films, mean something to the storyline. That is our version of communicating with the audience.
