Practice question · Multiple choice
Two picture editors are given the same forty frames and produce two entirely different sequences. Why is sequencing treated as authorship rather than as housekeeping?
Hints
- Ask what a viewer does when two photographs are placed side by side.
- The claim is made by the pairing, not by either picture.
Show the answer
D. Adjacent pictures assert a relation the viewer builds, giving the order an uncontained argument
Why
Because meaning is made at the joins. Set a picture of a factory beside a picture of a hospital and the viewer builds a relation between them that neither photograph asserts alone; reverse the pair and the relation reverses. The frames are identical and the argument is not, which is what authorship means here.
