Ways To Create Enigma Enigma; A question that is not immediately answered and thus draws an audience into a text.

Ways To Create Enigma;Appropriate Mise-en-scene: Sound (non-diegetic and diegetic) Lightening- diming when tension or mystery needs to be created Camera shots that don’t give away to much information. Just focus shots on what we want our audience to question.Time Manipulation: Flashbacks Dream sequences Repetition Different characters' POV

ScriptPart M

We are using Torodov’s Theory because ..

Part N

Todorov Theory• His theory is a calm beginning ,

something goes wrong in middle then everything is goes either back to normal or Happier at the end which is more like a drama to us

How we are using it• Our Idea Starts with a twist both

audience and character are confused waiting to see what’s going to happen next which is what a psychological thriller does.
