arouse and fulfill. You need to first
arouse your audience and then get
them interested in what you have

expectations"

eventually conveying to the audience the idea of “the new

31. There's this danger of becoming too precise and
too revealing- it's more powerful to hold
something back than to show the whole
picture. The reason is that when you show the
whole picture there is no space left for the
viewer to come into it. But when you leave
something out, the viewer will fill that empty
space with experience from their own life.
They can end up resonating on a more deeper
level with the thing when you give them that
space to come in.
