We view this increasing inverse correlation ofmotion and shot length as an amplifying effect. That is, short shots likely increase viewer response to films and film segments, forcing observer eye movements to quickly reevaluate each new visual depiction and increasing heart rate and other bodily responses (Carruthers and Taggart 1973). Addingmoremotion to these short shots is likely to increase viewer response all the suggest that this increasing correlationmay help to couple attention to broader physiological also find it intriguing that the natural patterns of heart rate, like those of attention (Gilden 2001) and increasingly of film(Cutting et al 2010), follow a 1/f pattern (Saul et.
