Participants required for study on film perception.
15 Jan 2008
Seeking female, native British English speakers, 20-50 years.
I am a PhD student at the School of Languages, Linguistics and Cultures, and I am looking for volunteers to take part in a study of how viewers understand certain aspects of films via the perception of dialogue, visual information and non-verbal soundtrack.
Participation will involve two phases: In phase 1, participants will watch 'Bridget Jones's Diary' (2001) and will be asked to answer a questionnaire. In phase 2, participants will watch the sequel 'Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason' (2004) and again answer a questionnaire. The study will take place in the last two weeks of January.
A small reward will be given at the end.
You can participate if you are:
- native speaker of British English
- female
- 20 to 50 years old (plus/minus one year)
and - have seen neither 'Bridget Jones's Diary' nor 'Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason'
