Narrative theory - linking AS work 5 codes

In this post I'm looking through my AS narrative work and linking it towards my music video so I covered everything that the examiner want and expects.



5 CODES:

1. The enigma code: Basically a teenage student that hasn't achieved much in life and continues the negative same day. After each day it's get worse and worse with alcohol intake and not giving a fuss about the concepts in life.
2. The action code: A non physical way but emotional elements will be considered throughout the narrative and shows the impact of what can happen is the villain continues in the same way.
3. The semantic code: The main characters is used as the conscience looking from eminem and Dr Dre's video on my blog the villain will completely blank out and walk past and not look face to face to the main character indicating that he or she is not in the same room.
4. The symbolic code: My character is dress in teenage clothes to indicate the age range, also the t shirt is black and ripped jeans are to inform a scatty lower class, but as my song is mainstream they are today's fashioned clothes that are popular e.g. the top is from all saints. Also I have red hair it links with my 3 colour code and red is the use of anger and can address the negativity more clear. The villain wears today fashion to symbolise today fashion and links to mainstream e.g. red light roll deeps, the fashion that the artist and people in the background wear .
5. The cultural code: The house is used a typical element of middle or lower class standards, the beer is used to show lower class e.g. if was 'wine' or 'Jack Daniels' it expensive alcohol. The scene of the interview shows the upper working class in life and my character shows this by the costume he's wearing.
