Question

Which best describes the suspense technique of foreshadowing?

An image, color, object, or similar is shown early in the film. It later reappears in a pivotal scene or plot point.
Details of the story outside of the chronological story line are provided to the audience, often as a memory.
Illusions of explosions and other events are presented, often using computer-generated imagery to seem realistic.
The screenwriter lets the audience know something the main character does not, usually something important to the plot.

Answer 1

Answer: The screenwriter lets the audience know something the main character does not, usually something important to the plot.

Explanation: This is because knowing something the main character does not creates suspense by making us wonder what will happen to the main character.

Answer 2

Answer: An image, color, object, or similar is shown early in the film. It later reappears in a pivotal scene or plot point.

Foreshadowing tends to be relatively subtle, something you do not notice has significance until the pivotal plot point is revealed.

The second option is more of a disjointed narrative. Showing things out of order as to garner a unique perspective. The 2000 film “Memento” is an example of this.

The third option is just CG.

The forth option is dramatic irony. Where the audience knows something that the main character or subject does not.
