Technical codes are used abundantly to create impact and to portray the theme of gambling in the scene where the protagonist enters a gambling hall to gamble on major stakes. The technical code was used by angling the camera to heighten the hall, and make it the transgressor, and the protagonist the victim. This effect is created by placing the camera at ground level, and at a distance of about thirty metres. This transforms the larger objects into monstrous objects, and the smaller objects into skinny scared objects. This dramatises the situation, and as the situation is gambling, depicts the theme of gambling to be wicked. The technical code is also employed by Ritchie to emphasise the theme of repaying dept. In the scene where two characters confront each other, where one is weedy, thin, and small, and the other is large, strong, and overweight, there is a conflict of debt. The stronger char

The audio code is used by Ritchie to accentuate the cruelty and tension evident in the gambling scene. A soft drumbeat is employed to create impact and also convey the theme. The theme is conveyed by the repetitive and consistent soft drum beat. The unnerving value of this sound makes the viewer aware of the dangers and tension apparent in the scene. Therefore, Ritchie depicts the issue of gambling as dangerous through the audio code. Ritchie also depicts the issue of family through the use of the audio code in the same murder scene as mentioned before. The soft, classical, and soothing music, played by the classical violin, an instrument recognised for its sounds of peace and well being in the baroque period - the era of the piece played in this scene - develops the theme of family as it creates an ironic contrast. The slow music playing in the back round portrays the fathers love for his son, as he avenges his harmed son, as the two contrasts; the murder and the music. This ironic contrast creates impact and also develops the theme of family. Thus the theme of family, and the theme of gambling are both shown to the viewer through Ritchie's use of the audio code.

The symbolic code is used essentially at the scene of the big card game. A large empty hall sets the scene with a boxing ring in the middle, a table in that and five full chairs around the table. Each man or woman is dressed in a suit, and carries a large bag. How Ritchie directs this scene is symbolic as it relates the gambli
