“There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it “There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it.” Alfred Hitchcock Suspense Techniques

Contrast Showing how two things differ Two different elements are put in opposition together to emphasize how different they are http://eienglish.org/literms.html

Contrast Examples #1: Character Contrast The Lion King’s Scar and Mufasa http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player _detailpage&v=-8wgXRNYcPM

#2: Visual Contrast District 12 vs. The Capitol in The Hunger Games Compare the clothes, colours , body language and the surroundings of District 12 to The Capitol. What does this visual contrast tell us ?

Foreshadowing Foreshadowing is a literary device in which a write gives an advance hint of what is to come in the later in the story. Source: http://literarydevices.net/foreshadowing/

Foreshadowing Example Scene from Jurassic Park. How does Dr. Malcolm’s speech give the viewer clues about the fate of Jurassic Park? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player _detailpage&v=IdPq5r63bMc

Pathetic Fallacy Pathetic fallacy is a literary device uses the weather to reflect a character’s emotions The writer makes a connection between human emotion and the appearance of the landscape or the behaviour of the weather The word “pathetic” in the term is not used in a derogatory sense of being miserable rather here it stands for “imparting emotions to something else” (the environment shares human emotions) Source: http://literarydevices.net/pathetic-fallacy/

Examples of Pathetic Fallacy What is the mood? How does the weather or nature contribute to the mood? What about sound effects? http://thisismacbeth.com/movie/clips/clip-theatre- act1-scene1.shtml http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmOScCWGKOo&f eature=player_detailpage

Setting The time, place and mood of a literary work. Let’s look at Pride and Predjudice. What is the time period? Where does the film take place (how do we know?) and what is the general mood of the trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJA27Jujzq4 &feature=player_detailpage

Dramatic Irony A discrepancy between expectation and reality The audience knows something that a character is unaware of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrQqFCJl708&feature=player_detailpage In the beginning of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, the narrator calls them "star-crossed lovers." This means that they are doomed to failure. The audience knows this from the beginning, but Romeo and Juliet's characters do not know it until the end.
