Adams, Brett, Chitra Dorai, and Svetha Venkatesh. ROLE OF SHOT LENGTH IN CHARACTERIZING TEMPO AND DRAMATIC STORY SECTIONS IN MOTION PICTURES. N.p.: Available from Deakin Research Online, 2012. Web. 20 Mar. 2016. (Adams, Dorai, and Venkatesh Chapter 3.2 – Modelling An Appropriate Normalization Function)

This text references shorter shot lengths, increasing metric montage, in order to create a fast pace. It also touches on the theory that a shot has no meaning without the director’s cut and that the length is what connects the director’s goals and the audience’s reception. This text is synonymous with Eisenstein’s ‘Film Form: Essays in Film Theory’ but does not offer any new information.
