Structuralism Question 2/3

In class, we have been exploring Structuralism and applying it to our product. Our lecturer set us a number of questions to answer, applying them to our own moving image text.


The third question was:

Does your text deliberately deny resolution, setting up enigma codes?

My text doesn't include any enigma codes in a sense of resolution, as the structure of my video comes back around on itself. At the end of the video, Joe (one of the male protagonists) wakes up, highlighting that the entire action of the music video was just a dream, thus ending in a resolution. I have shown this through a sharp change in colour to black and white, as featured at the beginning of the video. 
This would work best if I was making a trailer, as generally trailer's don't give away the resolution to their film as this is what people want to go and see. 

You can see my video below. The black and white colours represent reality, and the coloured moving image represents the dream sequence.
