Now You See Me 2

In class we had to come up with some bullet points in which we were explaining what we thought the opening scene of a movie of our own choice would look like, and this is what me and my partner came up with;
  • The four horseman are on their way to Macau, China. They’re doing magic tricks to the people they are sitting next too.
  • The next shot is of them leaving the airport, dragging their suitcases along with them.
  • People in black suits are shown to be watching them and talking to someone on their phones.
  • They get into a taxi but the taxi driver is working for this mysterious man and he makes a proposition with lots of money involved.
  • The horsemen talk it over and end up refusing the offer.
  • They get to the hotel and sign in at the desk.
  • Everyone seems to be looking at them even though they are just checking in
Another pair then came to see what we had come up with and they had to think what narrative they thought that the movie followed, this is what they said;
Equilibrium 
  • Starts off calm doing magic tricks.
  •  suspense is built up when the men in black suits come in,
  •  confusions from the audience when the 
  • taxi driver proposes the deal. 
However me and my partner said that the movie followed the Barthes' Enigma Code.
