Cultural codes

  • Jail clothes show that they are convicts.
  •  Roughed up hat shows they aren't rich.
  •  Dirty clothes show poverty. 
Enigma code
  • Who are the men sitting down?
  • What is the questioning about?
  • Why is he rejected?
  • What sort of a "con" is he?

Action Code
  • We know the man is in the presence of people with power due to his expression as he walks in.
  • We find out it is a jail so expect lots of unlawful activity
  • We expect him to be sad when he is rejected

Semiotic Code
  • The uniform makes it seem like a jail or a factory with the numbers on the jacket.
  • The guard standing by the door makes it seem more like a jail
  • The rejection stamp makes it seem like a jail due to the type of file we see

Symbolic Code
  • Sadness: Expression on mans face when he exits
  • Humble: The expression on the mans face when he is in the presence of the group of men
  • Boredom: The looks on the faces of the group of men
