5 Master Shots in Film

Symbolism:
In the movie The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, the white witch symbolizes the evilness of Satan because she froze over all of Narnia. Normally the color white is symbolized as pure but in this movie, the white witch is evil.

Parallelism:
 In Planet of the Apes, this scene shows Caesar as an infant monkey and then cuts to three years later when he is older. This is an example of parallelism because it shows the same monkey at two different stages of life.

Leit Motif:
In the movie Jurassic Park I chose the scene where they first get to the island. The iconic music plays when they are arriving at the island. Later on in the movie, every time people get to the island they same music plays, so this is a good example of leit motif.

Simultaneity:
In the movie Thor, the frost giants are breaking into the Asgard as Thor is being crowned. This is simultaneity because two things are happening at once and they are both completely different from each other, yet will affect each other in the future.

Contrast:
In the movie The Final Girls, the guy is just standing there quite content and then almost instantly he is dead because a guy with a mask comes and snaps his neck. This is contrast because if shows two completely different tones and moods within a few seconds of each other.
