Juxtaposition is the arrangement of two opposing ideas. The purpose of it is to further intensify the effect of the contrasting factors.
Random juxtaposition is the technique of two random objects moving in parallel, to stimulate creative thinking.
Juxtaposition is used to further develop a story, and the characters.
From the television Lost series, there were a lot of juxtaposition to be found. A few examples given from the lecturer were:
Civilization/Wilderness
Committed/Flighty
Chaos/Calm
Dark/Frivolity
Turmoil/Serenity
Indifference/Feeling
Weakness/Strength
Rationality/Faith
By showing the contrast between the characters, the audience can further feel the difference between them.
The lecturer also showed us a picture of a baby and a laptop, with words play and work on them. Another picture shows the same image, with the words switched. It shows the difference in perspective of people viewing the picture.
