Abstract

Driven by the trend of big data technology and digital humanities, quantitative research methods combining metrology, statistics and theory of film study have emerged in the world.The emergence of cinemetrics not only breaks the problem of narrow research horizon, but also provides a more accurate, more systematic, and more objective film analysis model, which brings a new paradigm to the traditional film and television research. With the help of “ysjl”, a film and television measurement and analysis tool developed by the team of film and television quantitative analysis of the School of Humanities of Tiangong University, the author visualized the data of recent film works directed by Jia Zhangke, and analyzed their style characteristics, rhythm changes and spatial feature. combined with relevant film theories.
