code and conventions are vital in films and consist of these main things : music, script, costumes, camera angles and framing, are used. However these are only a few examples of film codes. It is the way that these are used which is known as conventions that helps us understand which characters are playing each role in the story. Directors can use codes and conventions to encourage us to like or dislike a character and also help us to understand how important each character is in the story. for example if a character was walking into a bank and tense dark music was playing we would expect that character to be bad.
what codes and conventions are used in film openings?
There are three main tpes of codes and conventions those are
- audio codes,( the words that are spoken, how they are spoken and silence in the film) .
- symbolic codes, (this is the overall look of a character eg accessories and makeup )
