Barthes Enigma and Action Codes
Action Codes:
These action codes are used to convey excitement to the audience through recognisable narrative elements.
for example in actions such as a car chase, running, a ticking bomb. These elements give the audience a sense of anticipation, designed to keep the viewers interested.
Enigma Code:
Enigma codes are particularly interested in Thrillers, it is the use of pleasurable delayed gratification in not understanding what is going on, or what is going to happen. This keeps the viewer actively engaged as they are working out what is going to happen.
Hybridization
Hybridisation is the crossing of two or more genre's together, creating a larger target audience and a larger project market. It also allows the blending of codes and conventions to add variety. For example here are a few hybrid genre's: ACTION-THRILLER
COMEDY-THRILLER
HORROR-THRILLER
SCIENCE-FICTION-THRILLER
