Rolan Bathe was a french theorist who came up with his own theory which can be applied to film.
Five action codes that enable an audience to make sense of a narrative:
1) Hermeneuic (narrative turning points)
-We no where abouts the story is going, what is going to happen.
2) Proacien (basic narrative actions)
- For example; detective interviews a suspect, femme fatale seduces hero etc.
(Propps 31 functions)
3) Cultural (prior scial knowledge)
- Our attitudes to gender/racial stereotypes
4) Semic (medium-related codes)
For example; intertextuality
5) Symbolic (themes)
For example; icongraphy or a theme such as "Image versus reality"
(Curtis Hanson)
