What are code?
Codes are systems of signs, which create meaning. Codes can be divided into two categories- technical and symbolic:
Technical codes are all the ways in which equipment is used to tell the story in a media text, for example the camera work in a film.
Symbolic codes show what is beneath the surface of what are we see. For example, a character's action show how the character is feeling.
Some codes fit both categories- music for example, is both technical and symbolic.
