Hello!!! Sebas the Barca fan here!!! No new Barca news today, only thing is that our defender Araujo is finally back from injury and will be available to play tomorrow!!! Besides that, today I will be talking about how I will implement a media theory into my opening theory. The theory I would like to implement within my opening film is the Hermeneutic theory otherwise known as the Enigma Code theory.
The Hermeneutic theory is when a narrative withholds information to develop a mystery or leave a plot point unexplained. Roland Barthes, the one who came up with the 5 narrative codes (The Hermeneutic, Proairetic, Semantic, Symbolic, and Cultural codes), said that the use of partial answers may also be used but usually, the answer is kept away. These clues and delays to the answer keeps the viewer hooked to the film to want to know the answer. The Hermeneutic Theory or Enigma Code is commonly found in mystery or horror, this fits our genre.
Two good examples of the Enigma Code can be "Scream" (1996) and "Get out" (2017), these two movies take advantage of the Enigma Code to add suspense and mystery to the answer of these films. The smart use of the Enigma keeps the viewer engaged and hooked into the movie which is a key component as to why these movies are so well rated and popular.
How we will implement this into our opening, we will most likely have factors that involve with mystery, for example, something basic but we could do is the entity leaves something behind. Otherwise, we could just have no partial answer within our opening film and just leave it all to the imagination of the viewer what had happened. This would keep the viewer engaged for the rest of our film since they would be dying to know what happens
I chose this theory because it fits our genre very well, it also would make our film exceptionally better than what it could be and keep the viewers' attention.
Thank you for reading my vlog today!!! Let's hope Barca wins tomorrow again and SOM-HI BARCA!!!
