  • generally defined as a situation when the audience learns something that at least one person on screen does not know. (International Screenwriters' Association, 2017) [This creates] a special kind of suspenseful expectation, when the audience or readers foresee the oncoming disaster [i.e. see obstacles or dangers] or triumph but the character does not [and could not]. (Abrams & Harpham, 2012, p. 295)
