Quick Experiment

this was a very weird video

Is "creeped out" a feeling?

Edit: looked it up now. It didn't have the described effect on me. Apparently I'm dead inside from looking at too many creepy stuff.

Some of you fine gentlemen have quite the keen eyes I see.

I feel blessed o.O

confused at first.

Nothing... what am I supposed to feel?
I noticed the dead body has a white hand and a black hand...

wow, the video kinda scary, i thought it was setting up for a screamer or something

how i felt?, really wierd, i dont know maybe like the guy was hiding something and it was related with what was shown

edit: now that i looked it up, apparently it was right, i always felt the guy was changing his face depending on what he saw.

I'm curious. Why woman was happy. Why kid died. And that mans face...

Did not feel anything to be honest, but thought it was the same expression each time - maybe I put too much thought into it, as I could not discern why the three images alternated with the face - seemed there was no purpose...

It was hard to concentrate with this staring at me.

I was terrified it was a screamer the entire time.

I literally started laughing after the second appearance of the guy. Dunno why, it just seemed really stupid and out of place for me.

I don't know how I'm supposed to feel since I haven't research the thing yet, but I'm quite interested. Those kind of experiments usually do not work on me though :)

I've learnt about the Kuleshov effect but did not remember the footage. In my opinion the thory is valid but this footage isn't quite the most able to demonstrate it. To demonstrate it you have to show different combinations to different audiences.

ex :

audience 1 sees facial expression, then the meal.

audience 2 sees facial expression, then the dead girl.

audience 3 sees facial expression, then the "sexy girl".

then you ask each audience what they felt about the guys facial expression.

edit : for those who find that weird, this is what the kuleshov effect is about : (from wikipedia)

Kuleshov edited together a short film in which a shot of the expressionless face of Tsarist matinee idol Ivan Mosjoukine was alternated with various other shots (a plate of soup, a girl in a coffin, a woman on a divan). The film was shown to an audience who believed that the expression on Mosjoukine's face was different each time he appeared, depending on whether he was "looking at" the plate of soup, the girl in the coffin, or the woman on the divan, showing an expression of hunger, grief or desire, respectively. Actually the footage of Mosjoukine was the same shot repeated over and over again. Vsevolod Pudovkin (who later claimed to have been the co-creator of the experiment) described in 1929 how the audience "raved about the acting... the heavy pensiveness of his mood over the forgotten soup, were touched and moved by the deep sorrow with which he looked on the dead child, and noted the lust with which he observed the woman. But we knew that in all three cases the face was exactly the same."

Nothing. But I'm bad at reading facial expressions.

I can't say that I felt anything of note...maybe a lil boredom once ALL the images started repeating, at which point my focus started wondering to the smallest details in each image.

edit: Hey, wait a minute...am I gonna die in 7 days?

nope that dude face was always the same for me i didnt notice any difference in his expression...

OK. That was a strange video. Really really strange or it just was strange to me, don't know. But that makes me investigate this effect and learn about it. Thank you for making me learn something.

this is a bit late, but it didn't really connect think about it in terms of the actor changing his expression for different things, more that all these things were in the same room and it attempting to build a short artistic story out of it. Interesting to read the actual purpose for it though
