You are invited to participate in a research study on visual and video perception.

This experiment consists of three phases : 1. completing a short questionnaire on everyday perception 2. a training phase to prepare you for what you will be instructed to do in the main task and 3. the main task on video perception.

Your responses will be recorded anonymously and used solely for research purposes. The questionnaire does not function as a diagnostic tool but simply aids in the interpretation of the collected data.

Your participation is voluntary. You may stop the experiment at any time by closing the window.

By continuing, you confirm that you have understood the information provided above and that by agreeing to participate you agree to the collection of your data and responses.

Please answer each statement by selecting the response that best reflects your thoughts and habits.

There are no right or wrong answers. Try to answer as naturally and accurately as possible.

Thank you for completing the questionnaire. Your responses have been recorded.

In film, we often encounter characters and the objects of their gaze or simply put : what they are looking at. Directors use multiple tools to depict that in film; each one according to their vision and filmic language. The manner of constructing this sense also depends on the experience of the character in the movie, their personality, their feelings and cognitive state.

A well-known example comes from Rear Window (Alfred Hitchcock, 1954).

During this phase, you will be presented with a few video segments which will help you have a reference for the task that follows.

You are going to view a small number of video sequences with identical structure as the ones of the main task and respond to the same questions that will follow each sequence.

Before each trial, a white fixation cross will briefly appear on the black background. Please look at it while it is on screen.

Take as much time as you need when responding to the questions.

Try to answer based on what you have perceived.

The training phase is now complete.

You will now proceed to the main task of the experiment.

You are going to be presented with a series of short videos. Following each sequence, you will be asked to respond to three distinct questions using your keyboard.

Between trials, a white fixation cross will briefly appear on a black background. Please look at it while it is on screen.

You can take as much time as you need to respond. Try to answer based on what you have perceived.
