Designed Sound in Science-Fiction Films Semiotic Study of “Arrival" Film

Abstract

This paper comes to discuss, the Designed Sound`s levels, in terms of achieving the film
meaning. Thus, we attempt to reveal the creative process embodied, especially in science fiction films.
Furthermore, based on this creative dimension, we suppose that provides a methodological tool to approach
Designed Sound`s ability to realize a semiosis process as a sign.
The study concluded that Designed Sound in cinema production has creative dimensions that exceed the
technical part, to be considered as a semiotic Mode / Modality, which supports a (Sound Semiotics) theory
for both Filmmakers and researchers.
