Including Roland Barthes Theory In The Video

Action Code _ i think so i can involve some obvious action codes within my video, when Lexi is about to leave the old boyfriend(Random Guy(This will be replace by the name when i have found someone to do it)) the soundtrack will start, thus suggesting that Lexi is going to be wondering off on her own sometime soon. also i am going to get (bam) to hold his hand out near the stay, therefore suggesting that Lexi will take his hand and he shall help her on the stage.

Enigma Code _ i think to involve this within the story i may show a few things like the ex boyfriend hanging out somewhere and about to do something, and just show it to a point where then the audience starts to question what's going to happen to the other guy.

Semantic Code _ i might have a picture of the 'stay free sign' so that i can get the audience to connect that Lexi is going to be going to a band practice, however the only way that they could understand what's going on is is the audience is familiar with 'stay free' so i think in order for that to be the case. during the argument between Lexi and (old boyfriend) i will maybe have the (old boyfriend) say something like 'you spend too much time at stay free with the band, its like your married to them when you should be spending time with me'. i think this will be appropriate to inform the audience of what stay free is. this will then add in the 'cultural code'.

Cultural Code _ The audience would now know (if not before) what stay free is, because of the argument at the beginning of the video. they would have the understanding that stay free is a place where bands practice playing their music.

Symbolic Code _ the way i am going to incorporate this into the video is, nearer the end of the video i will have different shots of the ex boyfriend and Lexi being in complete contrasting moods, happy and sad. maybe the ex boyfriend will look a complete mess which would also incorporate the 'enigma code' because the audience will be asking how did he get like that? what has he been doing? on the other hand Lexi will look great and happy and seem to have her life completely in order.
