Semiotics – Roland Barthes

 In the clip find an example of,

Sign- Piano left in front of him

Signifier- Piano

Signified- He ordered it, or it was a mistake.

Denotative Meaning- The piano being left there is most likely just a mistake by the shipping company or he ordered it.

Connotative Meaning- The piano is somehow involved in the car crash that took place seconds before it was delivered.

Code (group of signs)- Desk, Telephone, Coffee show that he was in there for a long amount of time doing some kind of business.


Semiotic theory is clearly prevalent with the delivery of the piano. The instrument was delivered seconds after a terrible car crash took place directly in front of the character. Along with that, this can be supported by how quickly they left the piano and sped off, almost as to send a message.
