Kinomatics: A Global Study into Cinema Data

چکیده
This paper describes a creative industries research project that has applied quantitative approaches commonly used in scientific research to the study of international cinema performance. Using film screening data collected over a two year period, this paper discusses analysis of a global dataset using Appadurai’s “-scapes” framework. We have identified several of these “-scapes” that help us investigate film industry behaviour. Concentrating on Appadurai’s “Technoscape” an investigation into the geographic spread and distribution of a new and emerging technology, High Frame Rate cinema, has been made. HFR films have screened around the world to mixed reviews. Geographic distribution of HFR technologies and change in this distribution has also been uneven.
