Semiotics- We live in a world of signs and communicate through them. We learn to decode visual images by becoming familiar with the rules that govern how component parts work together. The study of signs and their meanings is called semiotics.
According to Roland Barthes, 'An image is denoted. It has connotations; these may differ according to culture.'

After taking this into consideration, we watched four very different music videos all by different artists taking note of the denoted images and the connotations being represented.
