SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON INFORMATION CONCEPTS RETR...

For over a century  motion pictures have entertained us  occasionally educated us  and even
served a few specialized fields of study. Now  however  with the precipitous drop in prices and
increase in image quality  motion pictures are as widespread as paperback books and postcards
once were. Yet  theories and practices of analysis for particular genres and analytical stances
definitions  concepts  and tools that span platforms have been wanting. Therefore  we developed
a suite of tools to enable close structural analysis of the time-varying signal set of a movie.
We take an information-theoretic approach (message is a signal set) generated (coded) under
various antecedents (sent over some channel) decoded under some other set of antecedents.
Cultural  technical  and personal antecedents might favor certain message-making systems over
others. The same holds true at the recipient end-yet  the signal set remains the signal set. In
order to discover how movies work-their structure and meaning-we honed ways to provide pixel
level analysis  forms of clustering  and precise descriptions of what parts of a signal
influence viewer behavior. We assert that analysis of the signal set across the evolution of
film-from Edison to Hollywood to Brakhage to cats on social media-yields a common ontology with
instantiations (responses to changes in coding and decoding antecedents).
