There are three different types:
Semantics: Relation between signs and the things to which they refer; or mean.
Syntactics: Relations among signs in formal structures.
Pragmatics: Relation between signs and the effects they have on the people who use them.

We are using semiotics within our OTS by emphasizing the woman's confidence and power by having her smoking and there being close ups of her smoking a cigarette to create a sexy effect, referring to her sexy femme fatale stereotype. [The cigarette is our semiotic]
Another Semiotic we are using is red lipstick for our femme fatale to apply at the end of our OTS. It was my idea to do this as I think it is very good use of a semiotic... Why?
Because within our OTS the femme fatale, as I have previously said, is trapped in her stereotype and eventually drives our anti-hero to death (in the full length film) because she taunts him until he commits suicide. At the end of the OTS, after the conversation with the anti-hero (that she shouldn't be having because of her high status) the applying of the lipstick is supposed to signify her restoring her femme fatale stereotype and as soon as she puts it on she is back to how society wants her.
