Table of Contents In the last chapter, we spoke of the importance of exaggeration in remembering an image. Another factor is action. Why are actors so furious when some minor character steals a scene by the simple device of walking across the stage? Because it is an old truism in the theater that the eyes of the audience are always attracted and held by a moving object. In the same way, your mental images will be more vivid to you if you can put some action into them. The more violent the action, the more attention it will get. You never forget an accident, especially a bloody one. The smallest details of the picture remain in your mind for years. For this reason, gruesome, even terrifying images make a deep impression on the mind, and should be used as much as possible. |
