Temporal Linearization

I have watched quite a large number of movies in my life and not once have I really, truly appreciated how important proper temporalization is. Until now! Temporalization (the Influence of sound on the perception of time in the image) is accomplished in many different ways. Temporal animation, temporal linearization, as well as temporal vectorization are all techniques which use sound to create, alter, or confuse the perception of time in an image. Imagine how difficult creating the "intended" flow of time in a silent film would be for directors. Imagine shot "A" (two guys on a couch.) Now imagine shot "B" (a police car parked on the side of a street). These two shots in succession of each other without any sound would make it difficult to tell if the police car was outside the building in shot "A" or somewhere completely different. Also, could shot "B" be taking place many hours in the future? Who knows? I sure don’t. But imagine if the police car was indeed outside the shot and this was happening (plot wise) directly after shot "A". Now let’s say we added some diagetic music. Perhaps a stereo playing some Fugazi, placed on screen near the guys on the couch. Now if that music continued to play during shot "B", perhaps slightly muffled (and now nondiagetic), it would be very clear that the police car was near the guys on the couch and that shot "B" was taking place temporally, right after shot "A". You see, music or sound a can bridge the "gap" between shots. Sound can continue the flow of time and space while images cut in and out. That my friends is Temporal Linearization. Peace!
