Symbolism
In this scene from the Cartoon Network Show, "Over The Garden Wall," we can see clear symbolism in the introspective scene between the character, the Woodsman, and the flame he gazes into. He describes his life's burden and purpose as keeping his lantern lit. The edit into the flames as he talks about his 'work' symbolizes his drive and motivation for his work. Flames typically represent warmth and survival, so the lantern, as seen in the symbolism here, gives him a sense of warmth and his tool for emotional survival in The Unknown.
Simultaneity
As seen in this clip from "Over The Garden Wall," there was a time where the same timeframe was presented in two different clips. Wirt, the character with the frog, gets into trouble with a monster outside of the Woodsman's homestead. As this scene was happening, the storyboard quickly cuts to inside where the audience can here Wirt struggling outside and the Woodsman rushing in concerned.
Leitmotif
In this scene from "Over The Garden Wall," we can see a leitmotif with the non-diegetic, high pitched sound. This gives a very eerie feel to the scene, as Wirt is in grave danger.
Contrast
This scene shows direct contrast in the mood of the scene and the tone of the Woodsman. The mood in the previous scene shows anxiety and uneasiness while the direct contrast is hominess and calm. This is seen in both the music and the voice of the Woodsman.
Parallelism
In this scene from "Over The Garden Wall," the paralleled shots are seen with the descriptive camera angles and what they were shooting. All of the subjects show the mysterious and eerie surroundings of The Unknown. They are all paralleled with each-other, giving a cumulative sense of mystery, and for the Greg and Wirt, danger.
