This paper presents a pilot user study that attempts to shed light on the ways users create people-centric slideshows, with the objective of scaling it up to a crowdsourcing experiment. The study focuses on two major directions, namely image selection and image sequencing. Participants were asked to select photos of a specific person from an initial set and arrange them into a slideshow. Results show that there is correlation between specific predictors and selected images, as well as their relative position in the final sequence. This indicates that a crowdsourcing experiment will indeed highlight the characteristics of the average user, which can then be incorporated into an automatic people-centric slideshow creator.
