This research focuses on the analysis of the signs that find in the Love Simon
film in several scenes. There are three signs according to Peirce’s semiotic theory.
C. Data Source
The main data for this study w collected from the Love Simon film. The
researcher also collects secondary data from other resources such as books,
journals, and research, especially that are related to the application of the semiotic
D. Research Instrument
For completing the data that the researcher finds, the researcher uses only one
instrument in collecting the data namely the note-taking sheet that consisted of
identifying classifying and analysing. The researcher finds the data in the film and
uses the note-taking sheet to mark what time the signs are expressed and what
The data in this research is taken from the film, focusing on the scenes that
contain icons, indexes, or symbols that were collected in some steps below:

In analysing the data, the researcher analyses the data in one step. The
researcher analyses and interprets the data to find out the ideas and the problems
that represent signs according to Charles Sanders Peirce’s theory. In analysing the
data, the researcher also explores their contextual elements including the
