Sabotage

Sabotage is a film including a terrorist named Verloc, he attempts to cause disruption in London by planting bombs. Alfred Hitchocks, uses dramatic irony in the film Sabotage; dramatic irony is where the characters have no knowledge of what the situtation in the film is. In the case of the film Sabotage a young boy Steavie is sent by Verloc the terrorist, to deliver a package by 1:30pm and the bomb will detonate by 1:45pm, the boy does'nt have any knoledge at all of the package being a bomb but we as an audience do know, this is the example of dramatic irony. 





Thoughtout the scene of the boy attempting to get to the destination of where he is to deliver the package, tension is highly built up as time passes by. The music that is used in this scene creates and adds to the tension making the audience feel unconfortable and thinking if the boy will make it to the destination before the bomb detonates.The music that is used sounds similar to a ticking of a clock suggesting that a lot of time is passing by, this music gradually picks up pace as time proceeds building up the suspence. The music that is used sounds like the ticking of a clock which suggest alot of time has passed by.
