Narrative

Barthes codes:
Action code: The action codes in this are when the three thugs in the car are getting their guns locked and loaded we know something is going to happen that will involve violence.
Enigma code: The enigma code is the masks that the characters are wearing as it restricts our knowledge also who the person who was standing on the corner with the mask in his hand as it shows he is more significant than the rest of the characters.

Todorov's equilibrium:
equilibrium: the equilibrium is the opening scene of peaceful Gotham city.
disequilibrium: The disequilibrium is the thugs robbing the bank.
New equilibrium: The new equilibrium is not in this clip but at the end when Batman defeats the Joker.

Character theory: Propp

Criminal Minds

Barthes enigma code is highlighted when all the computers and lights go off after a few seconds of the characters planking as to the source of there computers breaking down, the action code follows which is a woman dressed all black and a lot of attitude (with a click of her fingers the light comes back on everything is normally again).  In this clip Propps character profiling may suggest that the mysterious woman that walked through the door is the villain because she turned off all of those bystanders computers, the donor was that young boy she kissed to make her ex boyfriend jealous, and finally the hero is the other man that was in charge of the computers. Todorovs equilibrium theory is expressed here ; at the beginning everything's normal everyone is doing there own thing and then the disequilibrium when everything turns off, then the source to the equilibrium is revealed, which then leads to a new equilibrium being created

Insidious:

Barthes enigma code is expressed here is the window the main character is talking to then the action code briefly follows by showing a scary looking woman at the other side of the window holding a candle. This is then interlinked with Propps seven spheres of action on analysing the different types of characters. The hero is the one standing opposite the old woman Thai is because there is more top angled lighting making him appear dominate and powerful, where as 'the villain' has less lighting making her appear more dangerous and evil. The donor and the princess is both expressed by his wife the donor being her voice leading him back to his body, this also makes her the princess in need of rescuing because the lost souls are crowding around her. The equilibrium is when the man is closer to his body then there is an in equilibrium when he sees the old woman at the other-side of the window, causing him to waste time so he doesn't make it to his body, the new equilibrium is when he starts hearing his wife's voice eventually making his way to his body.
