When a sound can replace an image, cut the image or neutralize it. The ear goes more towards the within, the eye towards the outer.
Robert BressonThe ear is profound, whereas the eye is frivolous, too easily satisfied. The ear is active, imaginative, whereas the eye is passive. When you hear a noise at night, instantly you imagine its cause. The sound of a train whistle conjures up the whole station. The eye can perceive only what is presented to it.
Robert Bresson
