Chion reading

Sound plays a huge role in influencing your interpretation of image. I am often impressed by the manipulation of sound in film. Chion's explanation of how sound affects the temporal and image the spatial I believe is very accurate way of articulating this phenomenon. His point on vectorization of sound I found especially interesting, although I understood this conceptually, I never really found the words to express this idea. One can look at an image, such as a painting for as long as the like to appreciate the aesthetics, but film is moving images and without sound giving you that added value of temporal rhythm it is easy to lose yourself in the images and construct your own temporal context.
