Numerous papers have discussed practical filming techniques and subjective criticism in cinematography, but few have assessed how camera movement influences viewing behavior. This gap is indicative of the limited knowledge of the movie-viewing process and the lack of objective evidence supporting the correlation between audience visual cognition and motion in cinematography. This research compared the sightline properties of four types of cinematography shots, with each type comprising five segments of 15-s film fragments, by measuring indicators such as fixation duration, number of fixations, and fixation dispersion to further understand the mechanisms with which audiences watch movies. Studies have indicated that the use of motion shots rather than static shots can influence the viewing process. Changing the position of the main actor using follow shots induces an increase in the number of fixations and subsequently maximizes fixation dispersion for the viewer, who wants to view the details within the various shots.
