How does Phillips (1914) teach making inner states and sounds visible: which devices (business, objects, expression, close-views, captions, vision-scenes, reaction scenes) and with what restraint?

1914 practice (Phillips): inner states are carried by 'symbols of emotion' (face, poise of the head, attitude, small business), kept restrained ('constant exercise of repression'). Extra short scenes may be added where the plot gist is already clear, to visualize a feeling (his Annie examples use a look, a movement, an object slipping, a close-view of the face, a caption and a vision-scene). Sounds are shown by the hearer's reaction or by cutting from the source to the reaction, and only when they bear on the action. The devices are shown by his examples; the claim-level rules are the symbols-of-emotion and restraint statements. His reports of the two films are not checked against the films.
