For this post you will need to watch the film Metropolis. This film is available through MSUB’s Library database of streaming films, Kanopy. Make sure you have read the chapter prior to watching the film. Then, use the following as a guideline for your post. In Chapter 1 the authors talked about the signifier and the signified. Using those concepts and also the concepts of encoding/decoding and the 3 elements of how meaning is produced on page 51 in Chapter 2, discuss how you were able to make meaning from this film. What do you think was the producer’s intent? How did the encoding/decoding process help you make meaning of this film? You need to write at least 1 full paragraph to receive full credit for this post but may need much more. Do not leave this until the last minute. This will be a great discussion area to unpack the meanings of the film, but only if everyone watches the film early and reads the material well before the deadline (10 points)
