Action:
The narrative flow of the episode flows like any other sic-com , where a problem arises , and is resolved by the end of the episode. The fact it is set in a school represents the target audience watching , teenagers around the same age. The fact it is set in a school also gives it a light-hearted feel the the program.
Enigma:
The enigma is the mystery be hide the story , in see case its how will the fashion show event unfold , leavning the audienece waiting. Also you could say , will the protgonist "will" ever get the girl "charlotte". which links to every episode leaving the audience waiting to see if they ever actually get together.

Semic:
The code refers to connation within the story , the connation and denotation of the characters to be seen through their costume , such as the use of stereotypes to portray the characters e.g. the character of will , through the use of costume and voice. They have used the stereotypes to connote to the audience the character of will , as he is a geek , by using his costume his allows anyone to notice that , involving all types of audience.

Symbolic: This is similar to the semic code , however on a deeper meaning scale, such as ...
Cultural: The culture code is the sterotypes of the genre , e.g. will in a sic-com there is also a character who comes up with ideas to get out of trouble or is the more geeky character. Also sic-com alwy follow the same narrative flow , which allows the audience to know that it is a sic-com, also to give them an indication to what the programme storyline may be , and how it will resovle. As the audience have a knowledge of this as it is part of most sic-coms or programes.
