PLEASE NOTE: In this chapter you only need to read about one research project. Read pages 165-169, then select Dancing with Entropy or Clownpants in the Classroom or Functional Analysis of Bellour’s ‘System of a Fragment. You are certainly welcome to read more than one, but you are only required to read one.

Please post on the Functional Application of Information Measurement chapter here.

Note:

The graphic here refers to the Functional Analysis of Bellour’s ‘System of a Fragment’ which is derived from several years of research on how movies construct meaning. Dr. O’Connor and Dr. Rich Anderson devised a method of computational analysis of films in a way that took into account the filmmaker and the individual viewer. This was one of their breakthrough applications of functional information measurement, and is an analysis from the 1963 Hitchcock film The Birds.
