----------------------------Original message---------------------------- ""In my research on silent cinema I found very little written on the subject of movement (objects within the frame, camera, movement created by editing etc.) in Western scholarship. Closely connected issues of tempo and rhythm also received little attention. My problem is mainly methodological: How does one account for movement, tempo and rhythm in the analysis of film style?"" Try Bela Balazs' "Theory of The Film" and "The Close-up and The Face of Man", Mearleau-Ponty's "Cinema and The New Psychology", and some essays by Hugo Munsterberg's "Photoplay: a Psychologycal Study".
