Techniques/Conventions + Examples

Sequence: Retelling of Winston's story through the reading of his diary by others

Unperson of Syme – the rewriting process - (structure) – repetition of scene 3 times

1st dodges janitor and server, sits down to listen to Mr Parsons bragging about his children
2nd runs into janitor and server but still continues his conversation with Parsons
3rd Syme is missing but scenes plays out without him

Bright flashing of lights with loud, piercing sound effects

Reminds me of subliminal messaging
Foreshadows scenes of Winston’s torture where similar effects are used
Effect on the viewer
- shock, harsh, gets the heart racing to relate to how Winston is feeling

Indoctrination/Conditioning

The invisible table (prop)

every single character including Winston believes the table is longer
- the government can make you believe anything is real
Chairs placed around it
Janitor cleans it
People – Maria and Syme – walk around it
Martin rests his hand, holding a wine glass, on it
Winston also does not question it – foreshadows he has been ‘brain washed’
