Iron Chef

Late last night I was watching a rerun of Iron Chef – this very episode actually:

And I noticed the use of semiotics in this show. Notice the shiny uniforms, the wide angle and eye-level shots of the commentators and judges, the high angle shots of the audience as a mass, and the close-up, low angle shots of the Iron Chefs, especially of Rokusaburo Michiba. But apart from that, Iron Chef is a great show!
