“…These changes recall one recurring feature discussed by researchers working on the perception of still or moving images, as found, for instance, in eye tracking research: Goldstein, Woods and Peli ( 2007) ranked individuals and their faces as the most frequent centre of interest (COI) in most experiments with moving images, whereas Cerf, Harel, Einhaeuser and Koch (2007) focused on faces only and found, for instance, that these were fixated by 88.9% of their experiment participants in their first two fixations, whereas other areas of interest scored much lower percentages. In AVT research, similar findings from eye tracking tests on film are discussed by Di Giovanni (2013).…”

Researching Audio Description

“…Di Giovanni ( 2014 ) applied the eye-tracking methodology to check if AD based on the visual priorities of sighted viewers (in terms of selection of visual information, fi xation length and gaze control) would lead to a better understanding of its contents by the visually impaired. She drafted two alternative ADs for her experimental material: one created in accordance with AD practice and the other based on the eye-tracking (ET) data (ET-induced AD).…”

“…Th e above studies used various designs, analysing eye-tracking data in relation to the manipulated soundtrack , using it to draft AD in order to compare it to the traditional AD (Di Giovanni, 2014 ), comparing it with existing AD , or comparing it with verbal narratives . All of them point to the usefulness of such studies for AD, but the researchers are also aware of the limitations-clips used in experimental conditions are usually considerably shorter than feature fi lms, thus the eye-tracking data, verbal reports and replies to questions may be infl uenced by such an experimental setup.…”
