Is there a name for the technique where you can hear the sound (usually but not always dialogue) of a scene before any visuals appear? In other words, while you're still watching the end of scene 1 you can hear scene 2. This occurs infrequently in films but it's used quite a bit in the third season of "Babylon 5." ------------------------------------------------------ Lang Thompson http://www.tcf.ua.edu/wlt4 New at Funhouse: Pazz & Jop Ballot, Overlooked Albums of 1997, expanded links, William Burroughs obituary.
