Visual Induction

he psychological phenomenon where the meaning or emotional charge of one image is transferred to an adjacent, often neutral, image through editing. It is the core mechanism of the Kuleshov Effect, proving that context supplied by one shot can completely redefine the audience's interpretation of another. This isn't just about creating a sequence; it's about actively generating meaning that doesn't exist in the individual shots themselves.
