Leading by the Nodes: A Survey of Film Industry Network Analysis and Datasets
<|reference_start|>Leading by the Nodes: A Survey of Film Industry Network Analysis and Datasets: This paper presents a comprehensive survey of network analysis research on the film industry, aiming to evaluate its emergence as a field of study and identify potential areas for further research. Many foundational network studies made use of the abundant data from the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) to test network methodologies. This survey focuses more specifically on examining research that employs network analysis to evaluate the film industry itself, revealing the social and business relationships involved in film production, distribution, and consumption. The paper adopts a classification approach based on node type and conducts network analyses of the reviewed literature, mapping citation and co-authorship networks. The findings provide insights into the structure and interconnectedness of the field, offering potential clusters of debates and shedding light on the institutional, geographical, and demographic characteristics shaping this field. In addition, this survey contributes to understanding film industry network analysis and informs researchers interested in network methods within the film industry and related cultural sectors.<|reference_end|>
