a view from a low hilltop, of a portion of agricultural land adjacent the coast; roads cordon off a large triangle, which is further sectioned into square and rectangular plots; a heavy cloud cover blankets the entire scene in somewhat muted colors and an uneasy sense of calm.

Whatever approach you take, the goal of foreshadowing is to plant the possibility in your reader's brain even if you dismiss it right away. The reader needs to know the possibility exists. #LianaEdits #AmWriting #Books #Foreshadowing

Since 2000 I've been recording the #firstfrost date for my home in the Milpitas foothills. (Not much to look at yet, just a frosting on the rooftops.) Though the date bounces around each year, the trend is about one day later every two years.

Life is Strange: Expanding Day 1 – From Max’s Selfie to the First Signs of Something Strange

The beginning of a television adaptation is the foundation upon which everything else rests. For Life is Strange, the game opens in media res, with Max glimpsing a terrifying tornado flash-forward during her photography class. While this works interactively, television requires a more deliberate approach. Audiences are passive viewers, so they need context, character, and world-building before being confronted with apocalyptic visions. In my vision for the opening of the Life is Strange TV […]

Life is Strange: Opening the Show with Max and Her World

The beginning of any adaptation is crucial. It sets tone, introduces characters, and signals the story audiences can expect. For Life is Strange, the original game begins with Max in her photography class, daydreaming and glimpsing a terrifying tornado flash-forward. While this moment is iconic, television demands a different approach. Audiences are passive viewers rather than players, so dropping them immediately into a surreal tornado vision risks confusion or detachment. Instead, the show […]

Life is Strange: Rethinking the Opening – Building Max’s World and Foreshadowing the Storm

The beginning of any adaptation is crucial. It sets the tone, establishes the characters, and signals the kind of story audiences can expect. In the case of Life is Strange, the opening moments of the game are iconic, with Max Caulfield in her photography class, daydreaming, and glimpsing a terrifying flash-forward of the tornado that will eventually devastate Arcadia Bay. While this sequence is effective in the interactive game, television demands a different approach. A show cannot rely […]

Chortle. I just realised that one line in the previous episode of #ThisMonsterWantsToEatMe was very well timed #foreshadowing: “Normal humans can’t see yokai blood”.

Operative word there being “normal” with Hinako’s friend “Miko” very much NOT.

@randahl And this totally isn’t foreshadowing. Nope, not at all.
