If there is a rule which enables us to judge whether or not the background music should be accompanied by a videotaped material, it is convenient for producing videotaped materials by ourselves. This preliminary study aimed at investigating whether or not such a rule could be extracted, in principle, from analyzing videotaped materials in common use. We analized 540 scenes out of 36 programs sampled from the NHK educational TV programs for elementary school science by the Hayashi's Theory of Quantification (II), a kind of multivariate analysis. The results indicated that we could extract an empirical rule of background music accompaniment by using this method. Further studies analizing much more sample scenes will enable us to obtain such a practical rule, which will be able to be used as a standard for background music accompaniment by a self-producing videotaped material.
