Opening Sequences and Enigma - 'Jurassic Park'

The first film I will be looking at which creates a sense of enigma is the action film 'Jurassic Park'.


  • Enigma is portrayed in the beginning, when there are many workers holding weapons and staring cautiously at something that hasn't been revealed
  • Enigma is also evident in the opening, when a large steel box is slowly placed on the ground, however the content inside isn't shown
  • Enigma is shown in the opening sequence, when the audience are shown the point of view from the box where a man was fearful after peering inside, however the audience isn't informed why 
  • Mysterious, revealing music is played in the background, to create a sense of enigma through sound to add to the mystery that the audience are still unaware of
  • The opening sequence ends on a cliffhanger, to emphasize the sense of enigma that the audience already has after watching the opening
