Moviescope: Large-scale Analysis of Movies using Multiple Modalities

Understand

Film media is a rich form of artistic expression.

• Unlike photography, and short videos, movies contain a storyline that is deliberately complex and intricate in order to engage its audience.
• In this paper we present a large scale study comparing the effectiveness of visual, audio, text, and metadata-based features for predicting high-level information about movies such as their genre or estimated budget.
• We demonstrate the usefulness of content-based methods in this domain in contrast to human-based and metadata-based predictions in the era of deep learning.
