Narrative Codes

We studied Roland Barthe's Theory of Narrative Codes, I found it very interesting as he had five different codes with different meanings. When I look at certain things such as music videos or magazine/newspaper articles I can see there is some sort of element connoted throughout the subject. Studying this subject is extremely beneficial as I can use it in my own research. It also helps to understand further into the narrative, especially in music videos. Roland Barthe had 5 main codes which hook an audience into the narrative. Furthermore, these codes explain how the audience bring their own understanding to the medium.
