Sabotage;

In Class we watched a scene from Alfred Hitchcocks film Sabotage, this was the Lord Mayor Show scene which contains a lot of suspense and dramatic irony.
Dramatic Irony is when the audience knows something that the character doesn't and the audience really want the character to know because they are a nice character.
In this scene Verloc (a unknown terrorist) gives a package to his wife's little brother Stevie to take to the theatre as he has told Stevie that the package is a film cannister, whereas it is actually a bomb. Verloc tells Stevie to deliver it by 1:30 as he knows that the bomb is going to go off at 1:45. However unknowing Stevie is not too bothered about when it is delivered and gets distracted by many things, such as the Lord Mayor Show. Eventually the bomb explodes whilst Stevie still has it.
