Enigma codes pose questions to the audience which are then
answered shortly after or later on in the film. For example, who is she? Where
is she going? Why is she doing that? They're questions enabling the audience to
get intrigued with the film and wanting to find out the answers to these
questions, therefore watching more of it. Enigma codes entice the audience to
watch the rest of the film as they're curious as to what will happen next; they
also help to move on the narrative.
Action codes are significant events which move the narrative
on in a particular direction. For example, a phone ringing or a knock at the
door. Both actions are used to change the scene/narrative for specific reason
but to also keep the narrative alive. They teach the audience new things, for
example, something new about a character or possibly the plot itself. They give
the audience needed information.
I have used both of these codes however the big enigma code used is when the girl gets taken. The audience are asking these questions- who's taken her? where is she going? is she dead?
This leaves an element of teasing the audience and making them want to watch more and understand whats going to happen to her.
