Here is Michal Caine talking about this:
https://youtu.be/bZPLVDwEr7Y?t=184 https://youtu.be/bZPLVDwEr7Y?t=184
He tell a bunch of actors to always 'pick an eye' when in front of a camera. What Michel Cain does not say is that some actors prefer looking out of their 'handed' eye, believing it to have more impact.
As a demo of 'handedness' in eyes, try this experiment:
1. Hold one finger around one foot in front of your face. Hold the other at arms length. Whilst try to look out of both eyes, ensure that the fingers are visually aligned with each other. This will be difficult, as the images from each eye will not correspond.
2. Slowly open and close one eye. Then do the same with the other. The slow blink from one eye (eye A) will not affect the correspondence of the fingers, whilst the slow blink from the other (eye B) will.
The reason is that eye B is adjusting itself to match eye A.

Its called ocular dominance apparently.
- quietbritishjim 6y agoHe does mention choosing which of his own eyes to look out of, but when he says "pick an eye" he's clearly talking about picking one of the other person's eyes to look at. That's also clearly the source of the flicking back and forth that he talks about (and demonstrates).
