The image paradigm is fragile in film; often still-born, it is approximate, easily modified, and it can always be circumvented. Only to a slight degree does the filmic image assume meaning in relation to other other images that could have occurred at the same point along the chain. Nor can the latter be inventoried; their number is, if not limitless, at least more "open" than the "most open" linguistic inventory. (Metz, p. 69.)
