I haven't seen the film, that's why I'm asking.
The article says that the average shot length is 6,9". Does the " stand for seconds?

You give no context, and your presentation is a mix of traditions. The double quote is used for inches, but that usually means USA and we use the period for decimal numbers. The comma is a Eurpoean thing. Maybe you meant to hit the apostrophe: 6'9". But it depends on the context. You say "shot length", so I am going to guess that you meant 6'9". That would obviously be six feet nine inches.
A shot is not measured in seconds unless it is a segment of a movie. A shot 6.9 inches would be maybe a pool shot. It depends on the context
You're right about the comma, it's a Dutch text, so I think something went wrong with the translation. And with shot length I mean the duration of the shot, so I'm not talking about inches.
The text says: 'De ASL van Raging Bull (Scorsese) is 6,9".' Translated: The average shot length of Raging Bull (Scorsese) is 6,9". I'm guessing the comma should be a dot.
I think it means that the average shot length is 6.9 seconds, it makes the most sense. But I wanted to be sure.
