Barthes said that every film raises questions (enigma codes) and some actions lead to other acttions in the film (action codes) to create suspense.
Action codes:
Showing boots walking
Laying out tools
Guy being held hostage
Camera fading to black at the end
Enigma codes:
Why does she fire a blank at his head?
Why is he being held hostage?
What tool will she pick?
Why does she need so many tools?
