  Contrast: In the show Avatar the Last Airbender, Aang has just finished doing three difficult tasks for the earth king. The contrast comes from the two fighting in the previous scene, to Aang realizing the earth king is an old friend who he did not recognize at first in the previous scene. After figuring out the king's name, he realized the tasks his friend gave him were to help him change they way he would think, and expand his mind to the possibilities. Simultaneity: For simultaneity, I chose to use my favorite show, Grey's Anatomy.

For symbolism, I used my dog and cats nose and zoomed in for a smooth transition from one close up to another. Although they are different animals they have similar noses. For simultaneity, I showed my sister and her friend eating, while at the same time, my friend was filming a tik tok dance. This shows the different energy levels between the individuals at the same time. For leitmotif, I showed both of my pets walking towards the camera because they walk similarly.
