The use of visual and audio signposting to convey meaning and narrative on TV screen is analysed showing how Joss Whedon, who created the series, used some subtle but simple signposting when setting up the mythology of Buffy and twisted traditional gender and gothic horror conventions for a greater impact upon the audience.
