Media Theory Research

 A media theory I want to integrate into my project is the Enigma Code. The Enigma Code is when a narrative withholds information to develop mystery or leave a plot point unexplained. Our plot begins with a scientist building glasses. These glasses can see 5 days into the future; however, the viewer doesn't know.  The scientist then puts the glasses on, and at first, it starts normally, his daily routine of eating cereal, waking up, and brushing his teeth. Then it malfunctions, we see a static, a date on a calendar circled, and a body.

The rest of the film is centered around the main character finding out how he died. Did he get murdered? Is the rest of the film going to be how he solves his own murder? What happens in five days that causes him to die? The Enigma Code allows all these questions to be possible.
