Abstract
This study aims to explore its potential as research material for analyzing Indian cinema using quantitative research methods.
Mainstream film research is centered on “qualitative research,” which analyzes works of specific film directors. However, in qualitative research, the arbitrary selection of these works and the director should be appropriate for maintaining the aptness of the analysis.
To compensate for the weaknesses of qualitative research in film research, digital humanities (DH) is used, which is a quantitative research method employed to examine word frequency and analyze text in studies of English literature and drama. I aim to adopt this method for film research and consider new possibilities for film research.
