Narrative Theory

Barthe Codes

  • We understand narratives through understanding/decoding signals & codes.
  1. Enigma Codes- Puzzles that the text creates for the reader to draw people into the film to keep you watching (e.g. Crime Drama).
  2. Action Codes- Prepares The audience for something that is about to happen (e.g somebody picks up keys off of a table and then leaves we know that they will be leaving the scene).
