Barthes code analysis




Barthes code analysis

In the barthes code there five major codes within a story that makes it meaningful, but I will only focus on two main ones. Hermeneutic code and the Proairetic code.

In the Hermeneutic code there are normally questions which are wanted to be answered, loads of untold parts of the story and lots of little questions which keeps the audience thinking and also surprises them. In the Hermeneutic code it is broken into four sections, the snare is avoidance of the truth so is teases the audience because the truth is so near but is not said. It is a good way draw in the audience and keep the audience watching because they will want to know the truth. The Parlial answer reveals some of the final truth but doesn't completely increasing suspense, a good way to tease the audiences urge to know the ending and builds up to the climax.  Equivocation mixes the truth with false confusing the audience and allows the audience to keep guessing what will occur at the end of the film. The Jamming technique suggests that the problem which is occurring in the film may be completely unsolvable in this situation so the audience will have no idea what the outcome will be and if there is any hope for the character also, it draws them closer to the characters as they may start to feel petty for them as there is no hope of the problem being solved.

The Proairetic code is made up of completely action scenes, so different shots which help to build up suspense for a climax. This code is mainly for action films which increases its quality and helps to explore the different parts within the action genre using the Proairetic code.
