Description
Moving images production teams’ skills in directing the viewers' visual perception have been confirmed lately through eye-tracking. One interest lies in explaining the visual intentions' of the production team as it produces moving images.
This project develops a method for grasping the film or video editors’ intentions with the editing of moving images, as an exploratory study. The method suggested considers conventions of the trade, observational study with running screen-dump and proximate interviews with editors on specific edits, as well as the testing of moving image sequences where the intention of each edit point is known. The test is conducted on viewers, with the use of eye-tracking techniques.
The findings are that the method should be useful in distinguishing between when the editors’ grip on the audience is firm, and when it is rather vague. Results are presented at the 14th International Conference - Information Visualization (IV10) in London and is published in the Conferance Proceedings by the IEEE.
