Barthes Enigma and Action Codes
Action codes - This is when the movie conveys excitement to audience through recognisable narrative elements such as a car chase, running away from something/someone or a bomb countdown.
Enigma Code - There is pleasurable delayed gratification when the audience doesn't understand the narrative, this makes the viewer actively engaged and dedicated to working out what is going on in the plot/film. The narrative will establish enigmas or mysteries as it goes along. Essentially, the narrative functions to establish and then solve these mysteries.
