Juxtaposition

Think about how juxtaposition is used. As with all techniques we are looking at, we are interested in (and so is the marker) the effect of a technique (such as juxtaposition).

As I’ve mentioned before juxtaposition is used in all forms of creative expression (photography, comedy, film …) to help the artist make a point.

Have a look at how juxtaposition is used in the following examples from photography and comedy.

Juxtaposition in comedy: http://news.stv.tv/scotland/tayside/66871-stanley-baxter-parliamo-glasgow-christmas-special/

What is the effect of the use of juxtaposition in these two examples?
