02.Chekhov’s Gunman
A person who is conspicuously introduced to the viewer, but deemed unimportant at the time, will prove very important by the end of the episode, per The Law of Conservation of Detail. In other words, they're a human Chekhov's Gun.

03.This Is For Emphasis, Bitch!
It's basically ending a sentence with a comma and "Bitch!", as a way of someone verbally making an exclamation point in dialog. [NOTE: Feature text in your icon in a way that one word (two tops) is highlighted in some way.]

04.Orange-Blue Contrast
Basic complementary color theory states that when two contrasting colors are put together, they 'pop'. The one thing you will almost always have in a film is people. Human skin has different shades of orange. The color that contrasts best with it is blue.
