ABSTRACT
The main subject of the article are digital tools, which can be used to examine photographs, films and multimedia. The author claims that the methods used so far are not suitable for studying digital culture (primarily visual, and especially for studying large data collections - called big data. This is due to the fact that they were developed to study the so-called textual world. The article presents various programs and machine learning, with the help of which it is possible to study: a) the features of the images themselves, as well as what is in the individual images. The author, on the example of digital analysis of two films, shows the cognitive capabilities of modern information technologies - including artificial intelligence. This type of new research of images is classified as digital humanities
