热门电影吸引并吸引我们的注意力。造成这种情况的一个原因是讲故事对我们来说在文化上很重要，但另一个原因是一般的叙事公式已经经过了数千年的磨练，并且一种派生但具体的电影形式在上个世纪已经发展和完善。其结果是一种高效的格式，可以快速处理复杂的叙述。通过语料库分析，我探索了流行电影的物理叙事学——叙事结构及其对我们的影响——以推广流行电影形式的理论。我展示了电影可以分为四幕——准备、复杂化、发展和高潮——有两个可选的序幕和尾声子单元，以及一些转折点和情节点。在 12 项研究中，我表明，镜头持续时间、镜头转换、镜头比例、镜头运动、镜头亮度、人物介绍以及对话、音乐、动作镜头和场景转换的分布模式的规范方面可以减少到电影的 5 个相关的风格维度，并且可以在电影结构理论之间产生争议。一般来说，电影叙事与任何其他领域的叙事（戏剧、小说、漫画、民间故事，甚至口述历史）具有大致相同的结构，但具有特定的运行时间限制、节奏和该媒体特有的结构。
Popular movies grab and hold our attention. One reason for this is that storytelling is culturally important to us, but another is that general narrative formulae have been honed over millennia and that a derived but specific filmic form has developed and has been perfected over the last century. The result is a highly effective format that allows rapid processing of complex narratives. Using a corpus analysis I explore a physical narratology of popular movies—narrational structure and how it impacts us—to promote a theory of popular movie form. I show that movies can be divided into 4 acts—setup, complication, development, and climax—with two optional subunits of prolog and epilog, and a few turning points and plot points. In 12 studies I show that normative aspects in patterns of shot durations, shot transitions, shot scale, shot motion, shot luminance, character introduction, and distributions of conversations, music, action shots, and scene transitions reduce to 5 correlated stylistic dimensions of movies and can litigate among theories of movie structure. In general, movie narratives have roughly the same structure as narratives in any other domain—plays, novels, manga, folktales, even oral histories—but with particular runtime constraints, cadences, and constructions that are unique to the medium.
