Description
Movie Tagger
is conceived as an easy-to-use online system that allows a community of
users to parse and add relevant keywords (“tags”) to movies–scene
by scene, shot by shot, and frame by frame–with a custom logging
tool. The tags can be about the performers, action, dialogue, cinematics,
mood, environment, or anything else. They can be unlimited in number.
This metadata (without any image or sound) is uploaded to a shared database,
where it can be used to rank, search, filter, and visualize tags through
a unique graphical timeline interface.
Advantages
- No such database
is known to exist.
- Resource for
quickly locating specific film sequences.
- Resource for
accessing aggregated film data.
- USC’s School
of Cinematic Arts can serve as the initial test community (approximately
1,000 people).
Applications
- Feature-length
movies
- Video databases
- Video archives
- One-dimensional
data sets, such as historical timelines.
