Enigmatic codes

In my film I chose specific enigmatic codes to show that it was a thriller.


This shot is of one of the main characters, by putting his head in his hands, it shows confusion, stress and worry. I thought these emotions would be related to a thriller.

Smoking is often related to the feeling of stress, so when the character lights the cigarette, it will get across that she is feeling stressed.





I chose the characters to be drinking in the woods as the thought of being in the woods as it’s getting late gives a sense of danger.






By having dark figures from a low angle shot, it makes the viewer feel slightly uneasy as it feels like you are being looked down on.







This shot of a dead body is an extremely obvious enigmatic code to show the thriller genre, as I found from research into other thrillers.
