There is enormous importance in connection with the problem of enriching the expressive resources of film. The example is a model of the most reductive type of sound-picture, or the audio-visual composition. It seems amazing that there are those who think it hardly necessary to seek assistance from such media, and that one can accumulate quite enough experience in the study of co-ordination of music and action exclusively from the opera or ballet! Pushkin even teaches us how to work so that the picture shots avoid a mechanical coincidence with the beats on the music track. To consider only the simplest of circumstances - non-coincidence of the measures (in this case, the poetic lines) with the ends, beginnings and lengths of the separate plastic pictures. IN a rough diagram this would appear somehting like the following. This diagram makes it clearly evident what exquisite contrapuntal writing of sound-picture elements Pushkin employs to achieve the remarkable results of this polyphonic passage of poetry. In the poetry the carrying-over of a picture-phrase from one line to another is called "enjambment." In his Introduction to Metrics, Zhirmunsky writes:

When the metrical articulation does not coincide with the syntactic, there arises the so-called carry-over (enjambment)...The most characteristic sign of a carry-over is the presence within a line of a syntactic pause more significant than that at the beginning r end of the given line..."
