“The audience prays for surprise, the reversal of expectation. As characters arrive on-screen, the audience surrounds them with expectation, feeling “this” will happen, “that” will change. If what the audience expects will happen happens, or worse, if it happens in the way the audience expects it to happen, this will be a very unhappy audience. We must surprise them.”
