Peripheral vision test video

Subtitled films - what effect does the visual film have on the periphery of vision when reading the book on film i.e. subtitles?

Below is an extract from Godard's 'Le Weekend', which has been processed to give the impression the type of visual input through peripheral vision. The precise extract was the long rolling shot of the traffic jam, and was processed in Isadora using:

• playback 0.4
• chop pixels = 1
• motion blur = 32, 28
  

This approach also incorporates the following principles:
- findings from CJA at YTR about the ice movie (from After The Sinking) alluding to a sense of journey within the music
- watching a movie with subtitles we are, most of the time reading the 'book' but we are also aware of movement, shade, colour. Occasionally to frequently, we look up and catch snatches of faces, scenery, environment that helps us colour in our meta-film (the dimensionality Murch talks about). Sometimes we watch for longer periods filling in our narrative with supposition derived from intonation, paralinguistic and non-verbal communication (facial expression mostly).
- Godard was mentioned in Alvarez, and I have mentioned Le Weekend as an influence
- Massive pixelation avoiding copyright issues.
