Magnetization
(spatial)
"Mental pan" of the sound
source.
-
The spectator will mentally place a voice
as coming from off screen left, in tandem with visual indications about
the person speaking, even through in an monaural movie theater the sound
really emanates from a speaker behind the center of the screen
-
If a character is walking across the screen,
the sound of the footsteps seems to follow his image, even though in real
space, they continue to issue from the same stationary loudspeaker.
-
Sounds of loudspeakers located somewhere in
the room will be perceived as coming from the TV-screen
Magnetization happens in spite of the evidence
of our own senses.
The spectator perceive that a sound source
is in space of the image,
no matter what the real point of origin
of the sound.
