Enigma code:
Barthes enigma code is a theory that suggests a text(whether that be television,film or a poster etc) portrays a mystery to draw the audience in and and pose new questions about the piece therefore becoming intrigued by the piece.
The five codes:
The Hermeneutic code: The voice of truth.
This is an element in a story that is not explained and therefore, exists as an enigma for the reader(an enigma is something that is mysterious or difficult to understand)raising questions.
The proairetic code:The voice of empirics
The semantic code: The voice of person
The symbolic code:The voice of the symbol
The cultural code:The voice of knowledge
These Enigma codes affect the consumers view on the title sequences because it adds a sense of mystery to the title sequence which draws the viewers attention and engages them into the film since they do not know what is going to happen but the way the title sequence has been set up makes them want to know what the story will be about and what the conclusion to the film will be.This engages the audience before they have even started watching the film.
