Experiencing and Verifying what is Felt as Real in Films

Experiencing and Verifying what is Felt as Real in Films

Institut for Kommunikation

Abstract

The article discusses the criteria by which films and scenes in films are experienced as real and argues that the feeling of realism is not congruent with what is actually real. It discusses how visual salience is one parameter, categorical match another. It argues that formal criteria are unable to distinguish between fiction and fact, so that the reality status of a given film or scene is an empirical question
