Roland Barthes- codes


Image result for barthesThe Hermeneutic Code: Refers to any element of the story that is not fully explained and hence creates a mystery.

 We are going to use the Hermeneutic code within our music video to keep the audience engaged. In order to do this we will save the most revealing clips till the end. 


The Proairetic Code - This code builds up tension and refers to any other action or event that indicates something else is going to happen, which gets the reader guessing as to what will happen next. The Hermeneutic and Proairetic Codes work as a pair to develop the story's tensions and keep the reader interested

Within our music video we will try to incorporate this so the audience are kept guessing as to what is going to happen and the build up of tension will hopefully help create this effect.
Semantic Code - This code refers to connotations within the video which give an additional meaning over the basic denotative meaning of the word.

 In our final music video we will try to highlight the differences and the given additional meanings to create a video with meaning and this will therefore help create a more professional look. 

Symbolic Code - This code is used to create symbolism within a video and exercise opposites to show contrast and create a greater meaning, tension, drama and character development.

 In our music video in order to create contrast we will have to make sure that the visuals of the video match the lyrics of the song but also at the same time create opposites in the video to show differences.


Cultural Code - Cultural codes refer to a world outside of the narrative. It is where part of the video refers to something externally and assumes that the audience has knowledge on whatever it is they are referring to

Examples of Bathes’ code are portrayed in Oasis’ hit little by little. Firstly, Enigma is used as people will question why Noel is homeless and who the other man in the music video is and what he is doing. Action is created when the man is going on a walk and comes across Liam helping him through the crowd and a tough time, which then leads him out to a field fulfilled with freedom and happiness. Semantics is shown throughout the video as it suggests that Oasis are trying to say that the rich aren’t doing anything for the poor. We know that the audience are being able to see this message clearly as Noel is ignored.

Institutional information to use - Digipak Planning

Image
Within a digipak there must be information on both the institution and producers of the CD. From researching and looking through different magazine adverts and dikipaks I have found some of the must important pieces of information to include: -        - Firstly, the name of the record company is one of the most important pieces of information as it informs people who helped to produce the music. -        - Sometimes the names of the band members and the roles that they have in the band are included -        - It should include where the song was produced and created. -        - There should also be a section on the individuals who helped to create the designs and photographers. -        - The key institutional information should include the management of the band.

Birtipop fashion and style

Image
Kangol Bucket Hats: This particular style of hat became popular during the late 80's 'Madchester' era. They were specifically worn by Artists such as: Elton John, LL Cool J and the Gallagher brothers. Thanks to Oasis and The Stone Roses it stuck around as a Britpop staple. In 2016, the millinery still remains the perfect accessory for any festival fanatic. We can use this style of Fashion within our Music video to recreate one of the biggest fashion statements during the Britpop era. It will also show our knowledge on the fashion of the genre but also the fact that many Artists wear these styles of clothing during their Music videos. Many fishermen used to wear Bucket hats to protect from the rain whilst fishing. Many fans of the Britpop genre started to wear these in Manchester, to protect them from the rain during festivals and concerts. From there on, it has spiraled into a huge fashion statement of that era. Parka Jackets: The Parka jacket was first popularised

Editing feedback for our final rough edit

Image
This video shows  the specific information which we were given by our audience to help us make our music video even better, we also asked other people their opinion on our video and everyone else also suggested that we definitely need to improve the lip syncing. This is due to the fact that it is not in time and can be edited easily to make sure we change it so that it looks more professional. Besides this minor change we were given positive feedback on our music video and that they enjoyed both the introduction and ending where we included  small parts of the live performance.
