Abstract

A Suicide that the director Metin Erksan adapted to the
cinema based on Samed Ağaoğlu's story of the same name should be considered in
the context of literature and cinema disciplines. According to cinema
semiotician  Christian
Metz, the main purpose of cinema semiotics is to determine the meanings of the
codes transmitted to the audience through in formation channels such as
photography, sound effects, moving effects, moving images and lighting.
Christian Metz also states that semiotic cinema will develop with the
contributions of disciplines such as sociology, psychoanalysis, literature,
psychology and philosophy. In accordance with Metz's theory, Metin Erksan
adapts Samed Ağaoğlu's story, A Suicide,
to the cinema. Cinema adaptations are materials suitable for interdisciplinary
studies.  Furthermore ınterdisciplinary
studies are piece - oriented process rather than integrity. The piece -
oriented structure of semiotics provides compreherensive opportunities for
interdisciplinary research. A Suicide film
is a relevant material for interdisciplinary research with its place in the
axis of literature and cinema disciplines, with codes consistent to meaning
from various information channels. In this research, the movie titled A Suicide will be analyzed in connection
with story of the same title, and the codes within the film will be evaluated
by the context of Metz's theory of cinema semiotics.
