naming it
hi . what does it mean 'naming it' in this text?
Textual speech In film
has the power to make visible the images that it evokes on the screen. In audio/radio
drama it has the power to conjure like the lens of a film camera the images both moving
and still in the ‘imaginative spectacle’.As Chion says, ‘unlike theatrical speech it acts
upon the images’. It even controls and determines spatial and temporal continuity. In
cinema textual speech is limited in order to preserve its power for certain privileged
characters and protect the integrity and primacy of the audiovisual scene. Chion refers
the narrative role to‘an archaic power’ of transforming the world through language and
‘ruling over one’s creation by naming it’.
