量化的感觉——计量学作为电影研究的方法

Quantified Perceptions——Cinemetrics Applied as aMethodforFilmStudies

20世纪70年代,巴瑞·索特运用计算机统计方法研究电影,初步建立了电影计量研究的理论和方法。互联网大数据时代,计量电影学成为一种新型的电影学术组织模式。作为电影风格研究的电影计量主要表征为数据可视化和计算机视觉,对于研究电影节奏、电影形式的演变趋势以及一部影片的内部结构具有相当的优势。其目的是为了纵向拓展中国电影理论研究的问题链和意义链,横向为构建中国电影的“普遍理论”及其跨文化接受提供可翻译和可理解的路径。

In the 1970s,Barry Salt began to study films with computational statistical methods to study film,and initially established the theory and method of film measurement research.In the era of Internet mega-data,cinemetrics has become a new model of film academic organization.As a study of film genres,cinemetrics is mainly characterized by data visualization and computer vision,which is of considerable advantages in studying film rhythm,the evolution trend of flm form and the internal structure of a film.Its purpose is to vertically expand the question chain and the meaning chain of Chinese film theory research.Transversal provides a translatable and understandable path for constructing the"universal theory"of Chinese film and its cross-cultural acceptance horizontally.
