The fundamental approach in media semiotics is to investigate how cultural meanings encoded by media texts (programs, spectacles, and so on) are adopted, adapted for specific purposes, and then redistributed throughout the culture. In media studies, Semiotics can help determine what signs/messages should be used, what signs/messages should be avoided, and whether proposed options are likely to have the desired impact.

  My name is Jibran Karamat, I am 17 and currently studying AS in The City School Capital Campus Islamabad. This is my blog to keep track of the opening for my film project for my AS Media Studies CAIE.
