3 Points, 10 ways to attract attention to 1 point

3 points:
-The bottom-left edge of my ruler
-The minute hand of my watch
-The very tip of the lead on a pencil

10 ways to highlight point one:
-Shine a spotlight on it
-Take a photo and have every part out of focus except that one point
-Just straight-up tell people to look there
-A treasure hunt! Give people hints and the solution is that point.
-That movie technique where the characters walk away but the camera stays focused on that one point for a bit too long and the audience is all "wow that point is going to come into play later on"
-Paint that point red, or whatever color everything around it isn't
-Focus on it, make it a mantra?
-That Columbo thing where at the end of the interview you go, "By the way, one more question..." and then be like "Have you ever seen that there point?"
-Point at it
-Play music from that point, somehow?
