A quantitative analysis of gaze in feature films
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This thesis explores human gaze behavior in response to dynamic visual stimulus. In particular, we are interested in examining the role of high-level image features in attracting visual attention. One promising body of knowledge comes from cinema: film directors are masters at controlling what we look at when we watch a film. Over the last century, the visual and temporal structure of films has matured into a rich compendium of conventions addressing image composition, temporal discontinuities (edits), lighting, and so on. Simultaneously, viewers' understanding of the common film grammar has co-evolved. However, there has been very little quantitative analysis of how gaze responds to this type of highly structured content. We examine the relationship between cinematic features and gaze response, with implications not only for the future of media, but for display technology, immersive reality, and human cognition.
