Lesson Summary

There are five codes which I noticed in different films opening, these are used to suggest something to audience and are used to create a meaning in the story. The Hermeneutic Code, which is also called the "enigma code" or "narrative enigma". The hermeneutic code are the unanswered question that audience would like to be answered. This is used to maintain the interest and the suspense for the audience. It is also used to make people watch the whole film and make them attract to the film. usually it is revealed until the end of the film and in most if films the beginning is essentially the ending.  

Partial Answers -  is when there is little about of truth but not all of it, this is used to give the audience suspense and thrill.

Equivocation - this is a combination of truth and snare, this is used to confuse the audience and keep them interested in the film.

Jamming - is suggesting that there is a problem which may never be solved.

The  Proairetic Code - this is also known as action code, the Proairetic code  referrs to any other action or event that indicates something else is going to happen. It is useful code in for creating tension as audience would want to know what is going to happen next.
