Applying Barthe's Theory



Enigma code:
Will Kyle Gass and JB end up together in a band? Is he the man prophesied to be JB's counterpart? Why was Kyle so cold to JB? How will JB live in Hollywood with no friends, family or steady income to speak of?

Action code:
What will young JB's  foolish action of jocking out in front of his father bring about? The pick is shown to be of some importance when it is highlighted by an extreme close up after being flicked at JB, leaving us wondering as to it's significance.

Semiotic code:

An example of a semiotic code in this sequence is when we see the Hollywood sign as JB steps off the bus as well as the beach and many street performers, giving us a clear sense of where we are.
