สรุป	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.	Film Narrative Analysis is a qualitative method for examining how stories are told through cinematic techniques and structures. Developed from literary narratology and adapted for film studies by scholars like David Bordwell and Mieke Bal, it deconstructs the relationship between story (fabula), plot (sjuzhet), and narration to understand how meaning is created. This method is fundamental to film criticism and provides a systematic framework for analyzing how viewers construct narrative coherence from visual and audio elements.
