Semiotics and Film Analysis: a Semiotic investigation of Turtles Can Fly

Semiotics is a method of textual analysis. The semiotic approach seeks to discover the mechanisms of production through language and representation. This paper aims to investigate semiotics and its application based on the analysis of a movie. For this purpose, initially, epistemological status of semiotics, known as social constructionism, and its philosophical implications, and theoretical consequences are explained. Then, the main themes of methodology of semiotics will be explained in the framework of social, cultural, and technical codes and language functions. In the concrete analysis of Turtles Can Fly, the epistemological explanation and themes of the first section are employed. Film semiotics does not consider art as mere reflection of reality and thus helps us avoid the approach of raw realism.
