Roland Barthes was a French theorist who believed that all naratives have a structure which brings the piece together in several ways. Barthes suggested that there are 5 different codes which help to generate meaning in a narrative. These are:
Action Codes - This code refers to action within a narrative and how a resolution is produced through action.
Enigma Codes - This code teases the audience by presenting a riddle or puzzle for the audience to think about or solve.
Semic Code - This refers to the denotation of the image/imagery.
Symbollic Code - This refers to the connotation of the image/imagery.
Cultural Code - A device used in which the audience can recognise and relate to.
