Dear Readers,
Hope your having an amazing weekend. Before we beginning writing the script for the opening. Let’s talk media theories, every piece of media in some way shape or form has a connection to a media theory. For my film opening I am going to be focusing on Narrative Codes by Roland Barthes. These narrative codes can be found in different pieces of media. For my film opening I want to focus on two specifically.
Hemeneutic or Enigma Code.
The codes basically talks about when the narrative withholds important pieces of information to cause mystery. I obviously making a mystery film opening, need this code incorporated in my plot. With the disappearance of our victim. I need to have certain pieces of information withholded to create the mystery. Need to keep this code in mine when making the mystery!!!
Semantic Codes!
This code is when certain actions, objects, or people represent more than the literal thing. An example of this is in a movie like “The Substance” where when Elizabeth first comes across the mysterious substance and its origins, the connotation with that is that is is top secret tool to become “the best” version of yourself. I would use this to create connations of mystery with the props and many pieces and objects of crime scene/case. Obviously adding a mysterious element to some objects that are related to the disappearance
