BIncreasing number of shots in movies
Stephen Follows counted the number of shots in movies, from 1920 through 2025. The overall number of shots increased, and so has the range. Between the 1930s and 1950s, films averaged between 550 and 580 shots. The median started to climb in the 1960s and didn’t slow until the current century. In recent years, the increase has been minimal, sitting at 1,479 for the 2010s and currently 1,559 for the first half of the 2020s. Follows used TransNet V2 for transition detection and shot count.
