Figure 1: Video stimuli with different editing style.

From: Eyeblink rate watching classical Hollywood and post-classical MTV editing styles, in media and non-media professionals

Figure 1

(a) Three editing styles were used for the video stimuli creation. The one-shot movie comprised a single open shot where the character was always positioned in the middle of the picture. The Hollywood-style edited movie comprised different classical shots such as close-ups, medium shots, and open shots, following a classical editing style. It was created from 33 shots with an ASL of 5.9 seconds. The MTV-style edited movie was created from 79 shots with an ASL of 2.4 seconds. It had close-ups, big close-ups, full shots, medium shots, open shots, aerial shots, reverse shots, low-angle shots, no time and space continuity, different angles, and a much less homogeneous edition than classical style. (b) Each dot represents a cut in the edited movies. The one-shot movie had no cuts in the visual narrative; the Hollywood- and MTV-style movies had repeated cuts. Those cuts were distributed along the videos, as represented by the dots.
