Tuesdays lesson

During Tusedays lesson in media we learned about two of the five codes from a French man called Roland Barthes, one of these codes is called the Hermeneutic code it is also more commonly known as the Enigma codes, this is techniques that the dierector and producers use to keep the audience hooked in the film. There are four differnt ways they do this:-
1. The Snare- this is where the dierector and the producers deliberate avoidence of the trurth where the audience are falsely lead to an answer.
2.Partial Answers- this is where the audience are given part of ther truth but not all of it.
3. Equivocation- is a mixtutre of the truth and Snare
4. Jamming- Suggesting to the audience that the problem is unsolvable.

the second code is called the Proairetic Code but more commonly known as the Action Code, this is where the character has done something and leaves the audience thinking what would happen because of this.
We then watched four different films opening and then listed what questions the dierector and the producers used in these films.
