Enigma Codes & Todorov's Theory

Todorov's theory explains that a film and a trailer can be broken down into five sections, an equilibrium at the start, a disruption of that equilibrium, a recognition of the disruption, an attempt to repair the disruption and the final stage is where the equilibrium has been restored. In our trailer we use three of the stages. The first section is the scene in the house as it seems to be a mundane situation where two girls are watching TV. However when the first murder occurs the audience are introduced to the antagonist, showing us the disruption, he is wearing black with a mask on which leaves the audience speculating with an enigma as suggested by Roland Barthes narrative theory, this emphasises the disruption but also leaves us an enigma because we don't know who he is or why he is murdering people.
