Juxtaposition is defined as an act of placing close together or side by side, especially for comparison or contrast (http://dictionary.reference.com/)
Juxtaposition is famous especially in photography and film to develop the storyline and the character. I would like to show one example by using the movie named Blood Diamond.
In this movie, the juxtaposition technique that has been used is showing the contrast between people in urban area and rural area. People in rural area are suffered due to war and economy crisis. In the other hand, people in urban area are wealthy and live peacefully.
Upper class/ Lower class- In the movie, upper class society, for example the jewellers represents the upper class society while Solomen, the main character in the movie represents the lower class society.
Villan/ Hero- Danny Archer, the mercenary smuggler has rescued Solomen and his son from being killed by the enemies. In the other hand, Captain Poison has kidnapped Solomen's son, Dia and trained him to become a bloodness killer.
