Lyric analysis and narrative

Similarly it could relate to Barthes' theory as the establishment could be represented by the two friends in their daily school lives and then tension builds up as something happens to one of them e.g. break-up, an argument with parents etc. Finally the problem is resolved with the friend helping them out. This would make it a linear narrative as the events would be in a chronological order for it to make sense.

Another theory proposed by Barthes talks about the action codes that enable an audience to make sense of the narrative. I could perhaps use a hermeneutic code (narrative turning-points) which argues that we know where the story will go next. So for my video, since the song is quite positive the audience will be able to guess that the problem is resolved at the end.
