Primeval

In the opening scene i focused on the visual language which is what i saw, while watching i was able to notice by the first frame that the man was pushing the women away which suggested that he was in charge. i was able to notice that the women riding the truck was not shown as a stereotypical women. She dressed as a man and was working with a group of men. In the second scene we are able to notice that there is another women who was dressed  in a stereotypical way in a dress and wearing make-up.  In the film gender is represent in different ways this is because they showed us a women which dressed as a man and worked with men and another women who look like a normal women and how women are thought to be like.

In the opening scene we are able to notice that the protagonist is the man that works with the women; this is because the camera mainly focuses on him. Even though we may think that the women in the truck is the hero because she saved him from the animal which chased him, but in that same scene the man got the attention of the cheater so that it would leave the women alone. Also while they were having a conversation the camera forced on the mans facial expression even while he was not talking. the camera moves in closer to give a close up shot of his facial expression. In the opening scene i am not able to tell how the antagonist of the film is.

The enigma code of the film is while they were having a conversation and we did not know what was going to happen. The action code is when the man was being chased by the animal and trying to save his life. The equilibrium of the film is when the man and the women were having a conversation and the disequilibrium is when the cheater came a tried to eat or kill the man. Last of all the new equilibrium is when the women saved the man a shot the cheater and harmony returned.
