situation that they recall. Most recollections are reconstructions rather
than sensory playbacks. When I dream, I am as often observing myself
as I am being me. I think it works because it mimics the format of our
psychological experiences. This is in keeping with the movie-as-a-dream
theory of film.
you need to reestablish often because there is not enough information
given about the type of shot that it is. The second film I mention below
deals with this in novel binocular-type way.

logically toward the end.
