Form and style - For example if we look at Football Focus it has it's unique theme such as the use of the color red and Yellow, these colors has grown as apart of the title sequence and the program and therefore has become apart of it's identity. Once a viewer sees these colors they almost immediately recognize that the show they are watching and that is is Football Focus.
Convention - In terms of convention , Eastenders consists of all the aspects expected from their Genre in terms of what the program represents. It is a show based in the east end of London, so immediately viewers are expecting to see a wide range of nationalities as London is multicultural. Also the English culture consists of things such as: pubs, markets, football supporters, etc. So these are some of the things included within the show enhancing it's realism.
Signification - If week look at 'Top Boy' there are many signifiers which may seem ordinary but once signified there can be many definitions for them. For example in Top Boy we see a lot of characters with large black bomber jackets, as a signifier it is simply a large black bomber jacket but once signified the majority of viewers would associate it with individuals involved or affiliated with gang culture as this is what they wear in real life.
Semiotics = Codes, symbols
Signifier = What it is
Signified = The meaning individuals give to them
