Action and Enigma Codes of Barthes Theory

Barthes theory when applied to our film Rupture shows us the action and enigma codes below:

Action codes:
Showing boots walking
Laying out tools
Guy being held hostage
Camera fading to black at the end
Man being held hostage
The fade to black at the end of the sequence

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?
Why does she fire a blank instead of a real bullet?
Why is the man tied up with gaffer tape over his mouth?
Where are they located?
