Review of A Numerate Film History? Cinemetrics Looks at Griffith, Sennett, and Chaplin (1909–17) (Review)
Author(s): Zdenko Mandušic
Publication: The Moving Image Vol 14 Number 2
Date: 9/19/2014
Abstract: Encounters between century-old films and today’s computational statistics challenge received understandings of film history, how films are analyzed, and the history of film studies. Tools of the digital age, such as the measurement software Cinemetrics, make it easy to count and measure the length of shots, calculate average shot length (ASL), and catalog the cinematographic qualities of shots. More than just a tool for local, one-time usage, Cinemetrics is an online collaborative project that allows scholars to collect, share, and compare statistical data on films. The value of and reservations about the application of such data in the study of moving images were the focus of the one-day conference “A Numerate Film History?” at the University of Chicago, March 1, 2014.
