Learning Task : Enigma

The definition on Google of Enigma is:
A person or thing that is mysterious or difficult to understand.

We came up with key ideal connotations of Enigma firstly which were:

1) Wanting to get somewhere
2) Mystery
3) Curiosity
4) Strive
5) Unknown
6) Questioning the Unknown
7) Break it by unrevealing
8) Suspense

In class we decided to create our own definition which incorporates all these elements:
The mysterious strive to question the unknown suspense to therefore reveal.

We also discussed about how you create it and these are some ideas we came up with.

1) By stereotypes
So we purse stereotypes such as murders are psychopathic white males, aged between 18 and 32,  and normally anti-social and struggle to 'hold' relationships with family and friends. 

2) Editing

3) What it can be? 
So is it an object (Click here for the RED BOX where enigma was made), phrase that is repeated, a person (commonly found in films/books) or an idea.

4) The UNKNOWN
Maybe not knowing something is what builds enigma (much like the movie clip underneath)

5)Shrinking Time

6)Excluding/Including certain elements
For this picture:

you could say including just seeing the lips is enough to understand but create suspense
But for this picture:















you could say excluding the eyes and anything above the top of the nose creates the suspense.

7)Hidden Meanings
In the clip below, we have a hidden meaning that hasn't been presented yet and therefore it creates suspense.

8) Lying

We in particular looked at this Bourne Identity clip due to the suspense as you have no clue what's going to happen. You have an idea of the strange fast-paced story and you know something if going to happen but you have no clue what. If you get that feeling when you watch this clip, then you are inflicting enigma.
