Abstract:
This poster will analyze the feasibility of eye tracking as a tool for helping filmmakers to make decisions in a stereoscopic film production. In a conventional dialogue driven shot it is fairly easy to predict where the audiences would be looking. However, for visually complex shots it is not so obvious. In this case, eye tracking can be used as a tool to observe the gaze pattern of the audience to identify the regions of interest in the frame. This information could be used to budget the resources for the shot. It can also be used to identify elements that distract the audience from the flow of the movie. This technique could be used to help filmmakers to make more informed decisions during the film making process. We analyzed a student produced stereoscopic film using this technique. In our study, a number of subjects were asked to watch the film and their gaze data was recorded.
