This is an excerpt from There Will Be Blood (Paul Thomas Anderson, 2007). 11 adult viewers were shown the video and their eye movements recorded using an Eyelink 1000 (SR Research) infra-red camera-based eyetracker. Each dot represents the center of one viewer's gaze. The size of each dot represents the length of time they have held fixation.

    this could be a great tool for film makers to analyze the correlation of composition to where it draws the viewers eye...also before releasing a film you could have a watch-through using this and then re-edit according to how you want the eyes to move...

    Very fascinating!

    A wise man said many years ago, "it's all about the eyes."

    This video illustrates that so neatly.

    That's really neat!. Great indeed. I was wondering if you can make one video like this with a feature film of Pixar or DreamWorks. It would be very helpfull.
  • Parag K Mital 1 year ago
    not quite pixar but have a look at our videos for the ice age 3 trailer: vimeo.com/6628464 & this one which shows the video as its motion: vimeo.com/8137349
  • Alberto Martinez Arce 1 year ago
    Thanks, it was as awesome as I expected, the way the audience moves their eyes following the movement or posing of the characters. I also read on the DIEM Proyect page that we can download a software to do the same process, but do we need anything else? or any speciall device?
  • Parag K Mital 1 year ago
    yes you can use our data and tools for creating your own visualizations and analysis of eye-movements across a range of videos (about 90 videos and as many as 220 participants!). thediemproject.wordpress.com - if you want to eye-track a new participant and create new data, you'll have to use an eye-tracker... there are open source solutions out there! if this is of interest to you, pm me and i can direct to you a few.

    This is fascinating. Some of the points of focus seem just a bit off of what would be expected. It would be instructive if you had eleven videos of the above excerpt with each viewer isolated. Thanks for the insight.
  • Parag K Mital 1 year ago
    the data (audio/video/eye-movements) for our earlier videos are freely available and you can visualize the participants in isolation if you wish and produce your own heatmaps/visualizations in a number of ways. please have a look at thediemproject.wordpress.com for setting this up on your windows-based machine. feel free to let us know if you have any trouble installing!

    It would be really helpful if I could apply it to my work, I think it would be very informative. I realize taht my eyes go through all the screen and look at points that aren't the main focus of the image, I guess I would be the dots that go all around LOL.

    Have you read the book "Blink" by Malcom Gladwell?, this video remind me of this extract about people with autism:

    "A Man, a Woman, and a Light Switch"

    You picked a movie with great cinematography.I would kill to see that test done in a 3d film in parts with deep focus and shallow focus, action or no action.That would reveal a great deal of interesting information.

    I enjoy seeing how many people are attracted to the brightest source on the screen, even if it's just for a moment. We're all moths.

    the only problem is that the the "analysis" may be flawed as the people know they are being eye tracked (so you have the person thats lookiong around randomly to try to offset results-or just consious of i gotta look around im being tracked factor)-- it be best if it was unknown to the ppl they they are being tracked= but i'm guessing this isnt possible as there is somekind of calibration that needs to be done before it can track properly
  • Kouros Cyrus 1 month ago
    I was thinking the same thing, but it looks like they probably didn't just show them this one clip of the movie. They probably had them screen the entire film, and I'm sure after the first 20 minutes they probably forgot about the device.
