What makes you look at things in film

A team of Scientists and Filmmakers recently got together to answer the age old question. What pulls your eyes attention in movies? They set up an experiment that tracked a person's eyes, and lined that up to the movie ( which happened to be Iron Man 2) to see what they look at the most. And as it turns out, most people pay attention to what's actually real and not a special effect. This probably worried the director of Iron Man 2, Jon Favreau who's next film The Jungle Book is almost completely CGI except for the faces as they are too hard to recreate and reach the uncanny valley in result. He also explained that Physics are hard to recreate as even though a computer can calculate a scenario all it wants, real life is unreliable to predict as different factors can affect physics that a computer didn't even think about. The scientists are also still trying to figure out how our minds take all the information that we see in movies and create a seamless experiment. I thought this article was very interesting, as this can be useful for directors if they want the audience to look at certain things so they can emphasize that. One thing is defiantly for sure though, and that is we are going to be looking a lot of faces in The Jungle Book.
