Kopsavilkums	Visual Content Analysis is a systematic qualitative method for interpreting images, photographs, films, and other visual media to understand their meanings, social contexts, and cultural significance. Developed from art history, semiotics, and cultural studies—particularly Erwin Panofsky's iconographic method and contemporary approaches by Gillian Rose and Kress and Van Leeuwen—it decodes how images communicate through composition, color, symbol, and cultural convention. The method recognizes that images are not transparent representations but complex texts that require careful interpretive work to reveal embedded meanings and ideological assumptions.	Semiotics in Film Studies is a systematic method for analyzing how film produces meaning through signs, codes, and symbolic systems. Developed from linguistic semiotics and adapted to cinema by scholars like Roland Barthes, Christian Metz, and Umberto Eco, it examines how visual, auditory, and narrative elements function as signs—consisting of signifier (the form taken by the sign) and signified (the concept it represents)—to create meaning. The method reveals that cinema is not transparent communication but a complex coded system where understanding requires learning film's specific sign conventions.
