Film Through the Human Visual System
Jordan Edmund DeLong, Kaitlin L. Brunick, James E. Cutting · Oxford University Press eBooks · 2013
Over time, filmmakers have changed the way they realize the structure of their films. Film structures have progressively developed to cater to patterns present in human attentional systems. Shot structure over time has exhibited a closer adherence to a 1/f pattern, a naturally occurring distribution that displays self-similarity over multiple scales. Visual activity, an index of motion and movement occurring in relation to the camera, has steadily increased over time; recent movies have made use of visual activity and its ability to test the limits of the human visual system.
