"The author makes a case for the adoption of a statistical and OR Strategy which would be empowered to manipulate ideologically conditioned spectator\'s response by suggesting means of controlling ideological orientation of the stimuli by investing them with different kinds and degrees of codedness. He has tried to reshape already established theoretical concepts of film studies into objective, integrated and technical form and invent a statistical model of the psychological planning for aesthetic communication of a narrative film."
