Constructing movement in the cinema

Nick Redfern

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

In this paper I adopt a Radical Constructivist approach to understanding the viewer's experience of motion in the cinema. Rejecting both realist and illusionist arguments, I argue that in watching a film the viewer constructs movement by generating the individual identity of an element of their perceptual field over time.
