In part 1 of this podcast we analyze the use of visual storytelling techniques in the Force Awakens. We discuss the symbolism found in visual devices, cinematographic techniques, and common tropes employed in the storytelling of episode 7. We analyze key scenes in The Force Awakens that may convey a deeper level of meaning than might be perceived at first viewing, and which may have implications for character arcs, relationships and plot progression in the upcoming episodes.
