  3. Action Code (Proairetic Code) The idea that any action initiated must be completed, and all together the cumulative actions contribute to the overall narrative of the film. Example: a character pulls out a gun on another, and we as the consumer wonder what his action shall be <- Press this when finished

  4. Enigma Code This is the idea that there must be an element of mystery within a storyline that is unexplained in order to create interest for the audiences. It raises questions within a consumer ? ? ? ? ? <- Press this when finished

  5. Semantic This is any element within a film that adds a connotation to a meaning. <- Press this when finished

  6. The Cultural Code Any element that adds scientific accuracy in order to enhance our experience <- Press this when finished

  7. Symbolic Code Utilises the idea of Strauss’ Binary Opposites. The inscription into the text of the antithesis is central to the organisation and cultural code <- Press this when finished

  9. Iron Man 3 ACTION- ‘a haunted Tony Stark has obsessively built several Iron Man suits in his mansion’- he must use them to defeat the evil Mandarin. Enigma- We are unaware as to whether Tony Stark is a hero or villain (or an element of both)- thus creating mystery Cultural- AIM's goal is a biological experiment called "Extremis" which harnesses' the brain's power to alter human DNA click to return

  10. The Vow ACTION- At that very moment, a truck rams their Saab 900 from behind and Paige crashes out through the windshield- this action drives the narrative as it causes Paige to lose her memory ENGIMA- When Paige regains her consciousness, she thinks Leo is her doctor, implying her loss of memory. - We as the audience question as to whether Paige shall regain her memory Semantic- The movie ends with Paige waiting for Leo at a closed Cafe Mnemonic and going with him to try a new place-the café symbolised their relationship, therefore a new café symbolises Cultural-When Paige regains her consciousness, she thinks Leo is her doctor, implying her loss of memory instead of their regular alternative, a Cuban place. click to return
