How I used Barthes code in my preliminary task

There are 5 codes Barthes came up with ; Semic, action, enigma, cultural and the opposition.

Semic code: the Semic code is something in the production which symbolises something e.g. in our preliminary task we used a gun which symbolises murder and violence which happens in our narrative. Therefore watching the gun you can see the protagonist going to shoot the antagonist and kill them for something they did wrong.

Action code :  Action code is where you do something and then has a result e.g. in our task we reloaded the gun and then raised it for the result to shoot it .

Enigma code: The enigma code is something that creates mystery for effect and in our task we did that at the end being the last lines 'it's over' giving a false ending as you don't know what happens next .

Cultural code:  is the props used in the production and there meaning of how they are used socially and culturally . e.g. for a rich person in a film they would wear a suit and have a expensive car. In our task we wore hoodies to show that socially we are rebels to society .

The code oppositions: This code is where binary opposites are used e.g. black v white and hot v cold .

The final piece to the preliminary task

This is the video that our group worked on .

Roles in the project

Me/Andreas : I was the cameraman for most of the shot in the entire video and edited the last scene when max enter the room and also was the victim in the video

Max Br : he was in charge of sound and in the final piece I made a huge difference and also was the antagonist in the video ; shooting me .

Max Bi : he was in charge of the props and mise-en-scene and edited the hallway scene and chose the effects overall e.g.. the transitions and the mixed saturation of colour to give it that old mood

extra notes: I was putting on an accent as max bi thought it would be a good idea to.

development of the preliminary task

 These are some clips we have, so far towards our final video .

 

 

 

These are some photos of our development as well.

Preliminary task

In the following task I will be working in a group to make a short feature, of an antagonist (Max Br) walking into a room  and shooting the protagonist (me) and then exchanging some lines with the other character (Max Bi) and then walking away . The aim of this task is to show how comfortable we are with cameras and all different angles and getting used to the editing software .

  This side of the storyboard is the build up to the main event when I get shot by the antagonist .

Side 2

This side is the event in which I get shot and the last three sides show different camera angles of me being shot .
