3.10 Film Connections
One can “read” a movie much in the same way that one would read a novel. For this close reading lesson we will be watching several video clips.
Clip One (Scene 1) 0-3 minutes• As you view the film clip from
TheThe SandlotSandlot, look for clues that indicate that the story being told is a flashback.

Flashback• Tangerine also uses flashbacks. Look back at the
prologue and Paul’s entry for Monday, August 28. How does the author let you know that what you are about to read is a flashback?

The use of clues to hint at events that will occur
later in the plot.
Foreshadowing• Both film and novels use foreshadowing to prepare the
audience for action that is to come. Foreshadowing creates an atmosphere of suspense and keeps the audience wondering about what will happen. Both The Sandlot and Tangerine use foreshadowing. Document those examples and what they hint at in the chart below.
