In the following, |==| represents a railroad crossing.
If we were to create a notational diagram of basic symbols, it could look like this:
|==| ||railroad||
In the above, the notation means that the symbol represents the physical object. This is standard semiotic notation. However, you can also say that a symbol reflects the physical object, as in the following:
|== > ||railroad||
You can think of the ">" as meaning "reflects," or "points to." Reflects has greater meaning, and for my purposes of exploring the role of symbols in film, I will use the >.
