    Journal of Criminal Justice and Law Review : Vol. 1 • No. 1 • June 2009 IDENTIFYING LARGE REPLICABLE FILM POPULATIONS IN SOCIAL SCIENCE FILM RESEARCH: A UNIFIED FILM POPULATION IDENTIFICATION METHODOLOGY FRANKLIN T. WILSON Indiana State University ABSTRACT: Historically, a dominant proportion of academic studies of social science issues in theatrically released films have focused on issues surrounding crime and the criminal justice system. Additionally, a dominant proportion has utilized non-probability sampling methods in identifying the films to be analyzed. Arguably one of the primary reasons film studies of social science issues have used non-probability samples may be that no one has established definitive operational definitions of populations of films, let alone develop datasets from which researchers can draw. In this article a new methodology for establishing film populations for both qualitative and quantitative research–the Unified Film Population Identification Methodology–is both described and demonstrated. This methodology was created and is presented here in hopes of expand the types of film studies utilized in the examination of social science issues to those communication theories that require the examination of large blocks of media. Further, it is anticipated that this methodology will help unify film studies of social science issues in the future and, as a result, increase the reliability, validity, and replicability of the said studies. Keywords: UFPIM, Film, Core Cop, Methodology, probability. Mass media research conducted in the academic realm has generally been theoretical in nature, utilizing public data, with research agendas emanating from the academic researchers themselves. Academic studies cover a gambit of areas including, but not limited to, antisocial and prosocial effects of specific media content, uses and gratifications, agenda setting by the media, and the cultivation of perceptions of social reality (Wimmer & Dominick, 2003).

  • Introduction a Nigger in the Woodpile, Or Black (In)Visibility in Film History
    Introduction A Nigger in the Woodpile, or Black (In)Visibility in Film History On the screen we see two white farmers talking to each other next to a pile of wooden logs. One of them places a stick of dynamite inside one of the logs, which he then slips back into the woodpile. When the white men exit, two Black men enter and surreptitiously steal several pieces of wood (figs. 5 and 6). In the next shot, we see the interior of a cabin where a large Black woman is preparing food next to a wood-burning stove (fig. 7). The Black thieves enter, and one of them places log after log into the stove until the inevitable happens—the concealed dynamite is ignited and the stove ex- plodes, blowing the cabin apart. The two white farmers then enter the smoke- and debris-filled cabin, looking and laughing at the Black thieves who, according to the film’s catalogue description, have been “given a pun- ishment they will not soon forget.”1 This comedy, A Nigger in the Woodpile (American Mutoscope and Bio- graph, 1904), demonstrates many elements that are typical of Black repre- sentation in early cinema.The three Black characters are played by white ac- tors in blackface, wearing costumes signifying their traditional racial “types”:Mammy in apron and bandanna;an uppity “colored deacon,”strik- ing a Zip Coon figure in top hat and tails; and his partner in crime, a harm- less, shabbily dressed, white-haired Uncle Remus. The film depicts African Americans as habitual thieves, this time stealing firewood instead of the usual chickens or watermelon.

    EDITORIAL NOTES Editors’ Preface Lynette Hunter, Alex Lichtenfels, Heather Nolan, and John Zibell Copresence with the Camera emerged through a series of ongoing conversations between politically motivated artists. These conversations started informally, between collaborators at various events, exhibitions, and conferences, and among colleagues and friends working on filmmaking and critical approaches to working with a camera. Over three years of listening to and talking with each other, unexpected resonances between artistic practices led to collaborations that were proposed and later actualized, and to excitement over the revelation of common goals. Together, we felt there was an opportunity to put together a collection of critically engaged artists’ writings and documents about the art we were and are still making, and this is the work this journal issue continues. It is our intention that these pieces exist in a dialogue with both one another and the works that they document. The relationship between artmaking practice and academic writing is complex. However, we firmly believe that reading a piece about a work can never provide an adequate substitute for experiencing the work itself. For this reason, where it is feasible and appropriate, we have provided links to the works that have been written about, and we encourage you to watch them alongside their documents. The exploration of these conversations in the materials of this journal is intended to be both stimulating and constructive in whatever field of creative practice you may work, or indeed if you are reading for general interest. Aside from these contexts of working with a camera, one element that has consistently motivated us to put together this journal issue is that it is often a great pleasure to learn about how artists make their work—what they do and why, and how it affects both them and their audiences.

  • "Race Movies" Visionary: SPENCER WILLIAMS and the Blood of Jesus a Screening and Talk with JACQUELINE STEWART
    FILM AT REDCAT PRESENTS Mon Apr 27 |8:30 pm| Jack H. Skirball Series $11 [members $9] "Race Movies" Visionary: SPENCER WILLIAMS and The Blood of Jesus A Screening and Talk with JACQUELINE STEWART Spencer Williams (1893–1969) was, along with Oscar Micheaux, among the very first African American directors of independent features. His great cultural morality tale, The Blood of Jesus (1941, 57 min.), is a landmark of American cinema. Still known primarily as an screen actor (Andy on the Amos ’n’ Andy television series), Williams made more than a dozen films with all-black casts. The Blood of Jesus was a huge hit with African American audiences for years. A story of sin and redemption, the film’s vivid depiction of spiritualism and folk beliefs has a power that few big-budget movies have ever achieved. Scholar Jacqueline Stewart, who is preparing a biography of Williams, will introduce the work and give a talk on the filmmaker’s life and career. In person: Jacqueline Stewart “A masterpiece of folk cinema that has scarcely lost its power to astonish.” – J. Hoberman The Blood of Jesus was the second film directed by Spencer Williams, one of the few African American directors of the 1940s. Williams began his career in the 1920s as an extra, and was later able to move up into writing scripts for all-black short comedies produced by the Al Christie studio. In 1928 he directed the silent film Tenderfeet, which was released by Midnight Productions. In 1939, he wrote two screenplays for the race film genre, the Western Harlem Rides the Range and the horror-comedy Son of Ingagi, and he also acted in these films.
