Enigma Codes

We can apply Roland Barthe's Enigma Codes theory to our film trailer. Enigma codes are unanswered questions within a media text that keeps the audience engaged.  This can be applied to our Film Trailer because it contains a lot of unanswered questions. Why has Faye gone missing?  Has someone taken Faye?  Why are they suspects?  How are the suspects involved?  These questions will encourage the target audience to continue watching the trailer and want to watch the film when it comes out in order to get the answers to their questions.
