Carson goes off to follow up inspiration.
[The subtitle is here inserted before Scene 2 to prepare the audience
for the break in the action. While it says that Carson is destitute,
the action of the scene carries the explanation still further. Don’t
let your subtitle spoil the scene by telling too much. By dissolving
the other scenes, that is, narrowing the lens so that they “fade” in
and out, the audience knows that they represent Carson’s thoughts. An
abrupt change of scene would mystify the audience. In practice the
director may decide to use double exposure for these scenes, but it is
best for the author to leave these special effects to the producer’s
discretion.]
