Roland Barthes Five Codes

Enigma Codes: Who is the man being watched? Why is he running? Will he realise he is being watched? Is he the protagonist or antagonist? Why was he there before they chased him. Why does he have a gun? What does he have to hide?
..
Action Codes: We see the man being watched looking ‘shifty’ and we know that the man watching him is a good guy because he is working with James bond who we know is a secret agent for Britain. We see him checking his phone, and read a word saying ecipse. As an audience we know wonder what narrative is behind this word, could it be a literal meaning or is a secret code for something much bigger and exciting. We start to build up an alternative narrative for the man, this could be that he is planning a deadly attack or he has already committed a crime and is trying to keep it a secret.
Where is the man running to

Semiotic Codes: The first semiotic code we notice is two men spying on a man straight away this s suggests that the film is going to be an action fulled film. This is further connoted by the gun that one the men draws when confronted by the man being watched. The first shot is a master shot of a crowd at some sort of event, the crowd is rowdy and loud. They are waving money in a bookmakers face, suggesting that money is a key theme in the film. Once the man is spotted he begins to run which connotes that he has something to hide or that he is scared. His backpack suggests that he carries something important and the way he eludes 007 suggests that he has been trained very well. The presence of military and guns further connote action.

Cultural Codes: There are many cultural codes in this sequence, for example The presence of military and guns connotes the action genre where as the fact the man is being watched suggest the spy genre.

Symbolic Codes: 007 seems very committed to capture this man, is he doing his job or does he want revenge. We hear him say I need him alive, as if he wants him for himself for not a group of people. However we see him kill him at the end of the sequence which questions his character, is he a good character or is he a murder?
