    • Abstract:
      The major shift in the feature film cutting rate over the sound film period is statistically investigated, with a demonstration of how this reduction in Average Shot Length has stopped since around the year 2000. The way in which other stylistic features, such as movement within the frame, colour saturation, and number of words spoken per minute, have increasingly been used by film-makers over the last 20 years for stylistic differentiation in their work is also shown.
