"PROAIRETIC_OR_ACTION_CODE_"


  • The dialog “I AM SO SCARED”,  “SHHHH”, and “WE HAVE TO BE QUIET” implies that they are hiding from something dangerous.

  • When the denim jacket guy makes typing noises viewers can already guess that he’s the source of the problem.

  • After the second person got taken, every time the denim guy is telling something to his friends we can already predict that one of them will be gone soon.


"SEMANTIC_CODE"



  • The dark light setting indicate that the film is a horror.

  • Laughing background audio (non-diegetic) tells  that the video will be more of a comedic horror film.

  • The “Boom” sound at the beginning shows that the characters are not in a safe situation.


"HERMENEUTIC_CODE"


  • Every time the denim jacket guy bulges his eyes to his phone screen, we’re waiting what is going to happen next, and who’s going to be triggered by his statement and eventually die.



"CULTURAL_CODE"


  • The story of an audio-sensitive monster has been used in many stories and movies in the past.

  • Kanye’s new track joke is for people that listen or at least knew when that track was released which was a quite silly and disappointing moment.




"SYMBOLIC_CODE"
