Media Theories

 The media theories my partner and I think we will use in our film opening project:

The ones I think were definitely going to have in our project is the Enigma Code or Action Code, both of them are leading up to mysteries, where the only difference is the Enigma Code is when information is withheld and the Action Code is actions that lead to something. It's hard to say for certain which we are using because we haven't thought through the what they are going to say in the phone call or letter, but we will probably decide next week. If we did the Enigma Code, the ending would be the main character calling back the unknown caller and it would end there, while the Action Code would be the character calling the unknown caller back but then they said they would do it and end it there. 

The one I'm not certain we will use, but still considering it is the Binary Opposition Theory, which is by Levi Strauss, where the story is made of concepts of good vs evil. I'm not sure how we can use that one since our main character is not really good since they have gambled all their money away and is living a very lazy life. It would probably be useful for the whole film where we would see character development, but we are just making the film opening, so it's best to stick with the Enigma and Action code.

This is our media theories paper that our teacher gave us to study and where we chose our theories from
