Notes

  1. 1.

    When using the term imagery, I very much have in mind both images and sounds. Sounds often provide deep and powerful associations that are very often underused in filmmaking.

  2. 2.

    See Booker 2004: 51.

  3. 3.

    See my own works exploring my spiritual and creative doubts in my book and film, Doubt (Knudsen 2017).

  4. 4.

    See my article on this, “Fear eats the soul” (Knudsen 2000).
