Five Codes theory Research

Five Codes Research

In this task i will be talking about the research i had conducted into the media theory of Roland Barthes of Five codes which primarily talk about the text of a scene and how it is shown or portrayed. 

Enigma Code is an association where the elements of a text help contribute to a device which is put forward into showing a greater meaning of the scene such as solving a mystery or even revealing something and this is called enigma because it builds tension to the scene itself 

Action Code is related to the narrative structure because it helps show the action or the plot the text which is created by the reader, it helps to bring suspense and this is helped with the structuring principle. 

Semiotic Code is mainly to do with the connotation shown for the whole, This allows the text to be shown instead of being told by describing the materials and things in order and to suggest immaterial ones.

Cultural Code is a straightforward way of showing the constituted points of the text which refers to the most common bodies of knowledge.

Symbolic Code is the most interpreted and it exists to explain the complexities of an element of the text.
