Die Vermessung ästhetischer Erscheinungen

Author(s): Flückiger, Barbara

Abstract

Similar to art history, film studies has long focused on canonical works by important filmmakers in order to trace formal developments in film. Being a serially produced art form, film demands to be studied along the lines of what art historian George Kubler called a «cultural sequence», i.e. an existing chronology of relatively stable but marginally varying solutions for a given aesthetic problem. Using the example of color in film as its point of departure, this article shows how newly developed processes of computer-based film analysis open up the possibility of a serial analysis of large data sets, thereby opening up a new field of empirical research into the aesthetics of film form.
