ABSTRACT
In recent years, film scholars have increasingly developed quantitative methodologies to produce data visualizations for a historical analysis of film style. Through methods of Cultural Analytics, Cinemetrics (2005) and ACTION (2014), which can be described as cinemetric or stylometric, scholars measure, quantify and visualize stylistic patterns in, for instance, editing, light or sound. These are used to investigate historical developments in film aesthetics and narration and to produce statistical profiles of films, directors or national cinemas.
