Enigma code

During todays lesson we looked at Roland Barthes Enigma codes. We looked at Barthes 5 theories which where The Hermeneutic code- the voice of truth ( this is an element in a story that is not explained and , therefore excises as an enigma for the reader raising questions.
The Proairetic code- the voice of empiries
The semantic code- the voice of the person
The Symbolic code- the voice of the symbol
The Cultural code- the voice of Knowledge

The Enigma theory suggest a text which could be a film or poster where it portrays a mystery to draw the audience in and it poses a question so the audience get actively involved with the film. An example of this is a mystery film where the audience get involved to figure out the mystery them selves and to see if they are right.
