Action and
Enigma Codes
Enigma codes
These act like small cliff hangers within a film and play a
major role within a plot. Enigma codes in films hang questions over the
audience’s heads that the feature is not yet answering in that particular
scene. These are usually created by a build-up of tension and excitement with a
scene leading up to a fight or a murder and then not showing the main event
everyone is waiting for. This then leaves questions such as who done it? What
happened? What is he/she doing? Leaving the audience guessing. The answer for
these questions will be given later on in the film. Or even in another film if
it is a series. This intrigues the audience into the film and urges them to
keep watching to find out the answers.
Action codes
These codes advances the story or narrative to the next
stage with an event that stands out. Events such as a sudden loud noise e.g. a
knock on the door or an explosion. This clear signal informs the audience that
the story is progressing into the next stage and hints at what’s going to
happen.
