The document discusses using enigmas and mysteries in films to engage audiences. It provides examples from the movie "Gone Girl" where the main character is kidnapped but escapes, leaving the audience wondering who the perpetrator is and their motives. This approach inspires using a similar plot in the author's trailer where the main character is kidnapped by an unknown perpetrator to keep the audience guessing about their identity and reasons. It outlines several enigmas or mysteries that could be used, such as who kidnapped the main character, why they did it, whether she knew them, how she escaped, why she wasn't hurt, how her boyfriend found her, and why a gift from her was left at the scene.

Film What was the enigma Is it inspirational for you?
Gone girl In the past main character was
kidnaped by unknown perpetrator, but
she escaped from him . Now her sister
disappear and she think that the same
guy took her.
Who is perpetrator?
Why he/she kidnapped her?
This is inspirational for me, because in my
trailer, main character also will be
kidnaped by unknown perpetrator,
because we will not see his face. So
audience will wonder: who took her and
what was the reason?
Gone Why she faked her death?
Why she acts like a crazy to gets what
she wants?
This is inspirational for me, because main
character will be kidnapped by person
who has obsession over her and he moves
to the only way, through which he will has
her for himself – abduction.
