  • If there comes a time in a work when the author wants to convey that the community has come together to celebrate an achievement or themselves as a society; or maybe you want to let the audience know the entire crowd backs up a competitor. That is when you'll see the crowd all chant the same word or phrase together over and over again. In some ways similar to a crowd chanted repeated version of that often quoted "This Is Sparta" from 300, and is a cousin to the collective gasp. Similar to the Slow Clap. Related to Audience Participation Song. Examples of Crowd Chant include:

  • If there comes a time in a work when the author wants to convey that the community has come together to celebrate an achievement or themselves as a society; or maybe you want to let the audience know the entire crowd backs up a competitor. That is when you'll see the crowd all chant the same word or phrase together over and over again. Often, but not necessarily, it will consist of three syllables or portions of the word separated to the rhythm of two quarter notes and then a half note (or two quick beats and a slow beat). Note, however, that this trope refers to the crowd chanting together, and the number of beats or syllables does not matter. In some ways similar to a crowd chanted repeated version of that often quoted "This Is Sparta" from 300, and is a cousin to the collective gasp. Similar to the Slow Clap.
