1, Contrast

Showing the depth of hypocrisy or conflicting statements.

2001 Spade Odyssey

The first tool thrown (bone) turns into a space station, still a tool, but come so far.



2, Parallelism

Comparing complexity of a clock to the complexity of paris.
Used for converting time or place, but still relating the scene. (woman screaming to the scene of a train screaming). Relates two things.

3, Symbolic cut
Man lights a match, blows it out, which turns to the sun. Shows underscores and nuances. Metaphors.

4, Simultaneity, Cross Cutting
Two scenes next to each other, sudgesting same location, but actually very different places. IE police at the wrong house, but both houses are being attacked. Red herring. Think it's all good, but really it's the complete opposite.

5, Leit Motiff
Typically musical Character themes, music to show reaccuring ideas.

A shot to show the same situation, such as jaws from below. Or a stalker in the woods.Time running out.
