Barthes Enigma Code-
"Barthes' Enigma Code is a theory that suggests a text (whether that be television, film, a poster etc) portrays a mystery to draw an audience in, pose questions and, as such, become intrigued in the piece. For instance, a murder mystery will often not reveal the identity of the murderer until the end of the story, which poses the question "Who is the murderer?"

This links in to my music video as there is a constant question- What purpose do these masked people have? As we do not find out until the very end it is hallucinations from a drug intake. We do not know if it is real or not until the very end when the narrative begins to make sense. The first half of my video however we recognise what is happening and we understand that the consequences will be bad (I cannot glamourise the usage of drugs in my video because younger years below 16 may have a aberrant reading of this text and reinact the usage of drugs).
