K. Metz noted that cinema is speech without language, therefore it is impossible to use in cinema the principles used to any other kind of art: in cinema the signs of denotations and connotations fundamentally differ in their dynamic natural. Semiotics does not have ready-made solutions or rules for creating signs and codes in a motion picture, because, like every person on the planet, it is dynamic and zmilyuetsya every day with the development of mankind. For some it may seem a disadvantage, but semiotics can give direction - a ray that can greet the viewer to the desired interpretation. This science studies the principles of communication between the viewer and the screen.
