Motion Pictures as Reserch Materials for Educational History

与书面或印刷资料相比，我们很少注意电影作为研究材料。这是由于我们在研究电影胶片时遇到的一些困难造成的。电影胶片在需要时太麻烦，使用起来又太笨拙或太昂贵。但现在是我们发现电影中不可替代的优点并将其置于我们研究的正确位置的时候了，自从我们的项目开始以来，我们已经获得了更坚定的信念。通过两年的研究过程，我们取得了以下成果.起初，我们参观了全国许多电影图书馆和电影制片厂，急切地寻找那些已经过时，但充满历史价值的电影。因此，我们可以找到500部电影，其中许多被认为没有机会审查，并可以得到他们的副本。在此之后，我们对我们的“收藏”进行了调查，并试图尽可能多地收集信息，特别是连续性，相机角度，主题，叙述，音乐，表情和手势，风俗习惯，气氛，标志等。为了有效地固定（记录）到纸上，我们开发了两种技术：一种是“场景列表”，另一种是“关键场景”。通过使用两种技术，我们可以准确快速地捕捉到每一幅电影的轮廓。最后，我们试着列出了我们的“收藏品”。我们相信这份名单将有助于了解他们，并鼓励申请研究或教育。

We have been paying only little attention to motion picture as research materials in comparison with written or printed sources. It has been caused by some difficulties that we obliged to encounter when we took an interest in using cine-films as research materials. Cine-films has been too troublesome to get them at need and too awkward or too expensive to use them easily. But now is the time for us to find the irreplaceable merits in the motion pictures and to put them in righyplace of our research.We have been gaining more firm berief of this, since getting started to our project. Through the process, of research in 2 years, we heve got the following results.1. At first we had visited a great many film-libraries and cine-production of the whole country, and searched eagerly for motion-pictures that was out of use, but full of histrical value. Consequently we could find 500 films, many of that had considered to have no chance of review, and could got copies of them.2. After then, we had made the investigation of our "collections", and tried to gateher the information as many as possible, especialy the continuity, camera angle, motif, naration, music, extression & gestures, manners & customs, atomosphere, signs and so on. For the effective fixing (record) to paper, we made development of 2 techniques : one is"the list of scenes", and another is"Keyscene". By using 2 techniques, we can catch the outline of each motion-picture precisely and quickly.3. Finally, we had tried to make list of our"collections". We believe this list will be useful for informing about them and encouraging to apply for research or education.
