Goreshadowing

When you come across a whole bunch of power-ups, health, weapons, etc. in a video game to prepare you for an upcoming boss battle.

In The Legend of Zelda you come across a room filled with vases containing health. Immediately after you face Ganondorf. That would be goreshadowing.

foreshadowing

Foreshadowing is a dramatic device in which an important plot point is mentioned earlier in the story to return later in a sinificant way. This is said by Hermione Granger in A Very Potter Musical.

Snape: A person can however be a horcrux.
Harry: What's a horcrux?
Snape: I'm no even going to tell you Harry, you'll find out soon enough.
You find out later, Snape knew there were horcruxes concerning Harry. This exemplifies foreshadowing.

Foreshadowing

Procrastination.

Mentioning a gun at the beginning of the story and not shooting the gun until the stroy's end is not foreshadowing, it's fucking procrastination.
