5 Master Edits- Criminal Minds

My first video is an example of parallelism. It is from the beginning of an episode of Criminal Minds. It shows a mother at a community event, screaming for her daughter that has just been kidnapped. Then, the scene switches to the mom still standing in the same spot after the event has ended talking to the FBI. This is an example of parallelism because the setting stays the same, but the edit jumps from one point in time to another.

This clip is an example of simultaneity. It shows the characters from the show laying out their plan to find Aimee, the lost daughter, while she is being carried into a room by her kidnapper. This is an example of simultaneity because it shows two different events happening at the same time.

This clip is an example of contrast. It shows Aimee curled up alone in her bed while on the other side of the wall, utter chaos is happening. A grandma is beating a child that was trying to talk to the girl. This is contrast because two very different things are happening on each side of the wall.

This clip is an example of leitmotiff because it shows the iconic Criminal Minds theme song and introduction.

This clip is an excellent example of symbolism. It shows the Aimee being photographed by a man who claims to be "her brother," then the scene switches to a picture of Aimee hung up in an office. The symbolism is photography,
