ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the unconscious mind handles images as autonomous entities, and is therefore capable of expressing them in any combination of time and space; consciousness seems to demonstrate more linear preference for sequential images. The sound-image may be 'a different story' in the sense that the nonvisual may create a different image-interpretation by the viewer/listener from that the creators intended. Recent researches in the psychology of music concerning music emotion have been trying to map and classify emotions invoked by music, a conscious attempt at organising emotions even on nonlinear unconscious levels. The inner sound or music volume in comparison to other sounds and music and in relation to continuity has to be taken into account, as it triggers and builds the viewer's or listener's interpretation of it as such and as a part of the entire cinematic experience.
