The hermeneutic code is any element in a story that is not explained and exists as a 'cliff-hanger' for the audience, raising questions that demand answers. Most films hold back details in order to increase the effect of the final revelation of all truths within the film. We tend not to be satisfied by a narrative unless all "loose ends" are tied; however, narratives often frustrate the early revealing of truths, offering the reader what Barthes terms "snares" which are deliberate evasions of the truth.
Cultural code is anything within a text from an external body to reference films, almost as if it is written in stone for example snow white and the huntsman uses a reference to the thorn pricking her finger and being a princess.
Proairetic code is an action code where you do something which is followed by another action which leads to something else.
Symbolic code is visuals which make sense to the viewer which is relevant and is similar to semantic code and organises semantic meaning.
Semantic code refers to the connotation within the story
