Semiotics Rap

Semiotics are the words we use

To describe the techniques (pronounced use)

Binary Opposition is what we use to show the differences between characters

Protagonists are the main ones of those, who we focus on, they’re not anarchists

The further we go down the spectrum

there’s things that you wouldn’t expect hmm

We got Narrative Enigma to create mystery

You almost always see it on your t.v.

Convergence, a quite important thing

It’s where the lines of media blur

Subliminal messaging

Used in a lot of texts to get a point across

There’s the connotations, that we see

That make it easier to understand

The type of things that are on screen

The things we see that’s what they be

I can’t read, but that’s preferred,

It’s oppositional to me, cuz it’s for nerds

Binary opposites, they’re people on screen

They’re not at all the same which is quite interesting

To follow Stuart Halls preferred reading,

Common cultural knowledge is what we’re needing,

90 years old really don’t relate,

To all the kids who seem to congregate

A couple of kids might not like Notting Hill,

To other kids though, might appeal Kill Bill.

A 50-year-old might not like Paul,

But that’s because it’s not made for them at all.
