Other equally important characteristics of the film image may be singled out. One of these is its particularity. The language of words lends itself to generalization and abstraction. In themselves, words such as man or house do not suggest a particular man or a particular house but men and houses in general, and more abstract terms such as love or dishonesty have even less-precise associations with specific things. Motion pictures, on the other hand, show only particular things—a particular man or a particular house. In this way a film image may be less ambiguous than the language of words but also less evocative, less likely to be enriched by imagination, association, or recollection. Despite its particularity, however, the motion-picture image may also be ambiguous in that it shows but does not explain. It does not in itself tell what it means, and people instinctively search for meanings in images. This is why commentary is thought to be essential in tying down precise meaning in educational films. On the other hand, many evocative documentaries, from Robert Flaherty’s Nanook of the North (1922) to Errol Morris’s Fast, Cheap & Out of Control (1997), abjure commentary, thus forcing the spectator to take in the remarkable and untranslatable specific sights and sounds they collect. The particular insistence of given photographed objects also explains why the juxtapositions of montage are so effective—the spectator compulsively searches for the reason behind a particular sequence of images. https://osf.io/9w2nz/?view_only=1729ae8d71ad44a2822a7884f01e3a61 https://osf.io/v92dr/?view_only=bc580f2224ca45a3a07f0a522c20901f https://osf.io/hzp5t/?view_only=0c16de0b1a6b45d0bcc0dabbd51c7281 https://osf.io/s5jqk/?view_only=9f704979fe7b457cb467608fa06cac0c https://osf.io/c4zyf/?view_only=fc7f6935bd5f41f69976c6aa91d5dca9 https://osf.io/hu8zn/?view_only=8efcfd5eff7342949b79ff366b56918d https://osf.io/6qaj5/?view_only=0941591ad9b74be3a53de26e6a89876b https://osf.io/rfc8s/?view_only=8ea9fc8177254e73945ed8decc394859 https://osf.io/rg59z/?view_only=d04cab6df7f6441b9716f9935ddeb8b6 https://osf.io/4hwkb/?view_only=136fb954b9144b3baa12bc33443d265e https://osf.io/3gbvy/?view_only=a6f4bd758e814fd1b9cfac9d64bc48f2 https://osf.io/jwu5z/?view_only=7ffa937b5de74ef8af9dc1f45eaa5f80 https://osf.io/u8qrj/?view_only=e659369a14824deeba0a5543a4ad2249 https://osf.io/v24rn/?view_only=66ebc600586743969102f653cc86af21 https://osf.io/83pgs/?view_only=78b2f492b3ad411f9df12052235b38bc https://osf.io/j3qvd/?view_only=f3c2cfc8be68463bac7eca202bc6e7eb https://osf.io/38u6q/?view_only=cebf83e91c98474abc85fafb87ec64a5 https://osf.io/kdxmp/?view_only=45d257c1ff214c9196bdfc9f8437ab97 https://osf.io/rk96d/?view_only=9ff4ff7b7f2f4742af248de1a799b555 https://osf.io/2fnx9/?view_only=fd65a30509224ff986d2c05c22572412 https://osf.io/vyuxe/?view_only=97a7cf5c521e436697e2280bf374d0d9 https://osf.io/y3zsv/?view_only=1466a699910442b58da576902986bb30 https://osf.io/jyc98/?view_only=49e898f019c04174903ba55b4a7afe98 https://osf.io/9w6zt/?view_only=d82f07f9be47490fb09162fd78c6c663 https://osf.io/zrg3f/?view_only=daf7fe81c5094255a8620badd7876f19 https://osf.io/n7yv8/?view_only=7b91b6a199b94084991a09ef82232a19 https://osf.io/6jqdy/?view_only=040007773c5e468d81a3c81e66f237c8 https://osf.io/wnx7v/?view_only=8a19a831b2b44deea8f3c7798afc4a8a https://osf.io/vqsjf/?view_only=b38dc483c32740d6b5bd6009dafe9b0d https://osf.io/sxk38/?view_only=9830b322057b4116bca7d0f3cfad4b6f https://steemkr.com/aovmoveihsd/@teretyajeret/4fp5es-aovmoviehse https://cox.tribe.so/post/4fp5es-aovmoviehse-608121e66541dc07d7d90d45 https://paiza.io/projects/S5Oi53cTx8hzpM8q4SCTFw https://jsfiddle.net/kalopesafujer/7w5vrnk1/ https://dumpz.org/akyD5WKHp7B7 http://paste.jp/2bd9bf57/ https://rentry.co/5hvwq https://aussieamiga.com/business/but-also-less-evocative-less-likely-to-be-enriched-by-imagination-assoc-22-04-2021 https://souzacampos.net/business/but-also-less-evocative-less-likely-to-be-enriched-by-imagination-assoc1-22-04-2021 https://jiyaroy.com/business/but-also-less-evocative-less-likely-to-be-enriched-by-imagination-assoc2-22-04-2021 https://dreampirates.us/business/but-also-less-evocative-less-likely-to-be-enriched-by-imagination-assoc3-22-04-2021 https://foreverdoomed.com/business/but-also-less-evocative-less-likely-to-be-enriched-by-imagination-assoc4-22-04-2021 https://alfacleaner.com/business/but-also-less-evocative-less-likely-to-be-enriched-by-imagination-assoc5-22-04-2021 https://www.thewyco.com/general/but-also-less-evocative-less-likely-to-be-enriched-by-imagination-assocbagere-22-04-2021 https://medium.com/@abangwarni/is-its-particularity-ebace5a6d194 https://www.getrevue.co/profile/is-its-particularity
