Cinemetrics by Frederick Broadbeck




This is a wicked motion infographic depicting individual film characteristics based upon shot length, amount of camera movement, color palette by Frederick Broadbeck... oooOOOooo 
cinemetrics
The insight this student has as to question viewing a cinematic story line all together is brave, big and innovating, and something I've longed thought about but simply don't have the brain to deal with.

Broadbeck's insight was "nobody has ever seen a movie the way it really is, but always just a partial view. Since motion pictures are a time-based medium, they can only be seen one image at a time, only as a fraction, never as a whole -that’s why it’s hard to capture and display them in their entireness." 
The result is a sort of moving piechart visual that has segmented the film into scenes and where parts pop out of its one-dimensional linearity to represent scene and camera motion, let the cursor glide over and pullout the scene its representing, whilst its animating and showing the films thought through colour pallette. The results are magic and to me completely conveys the light that the film deliberately tries to been seen in and therefore successfully resolves his brief. Genius.
