From the sepia tones of a Coen brothers film set in the Dust Bowl to a child鈥檚 red coat in Schindler鈥檚 List, filmmakers have long known the power of colour in movies. Now, computer scientists have analyzed 60 years of films to paint a picture of the past six decades in film.
Researchers at the University of 蓝莓视频 used a technique called k-means clustering to analyze the trailers for more than 29,000 North American movies released between 1960 and 2019.
鈥淲e chose to analyze trailers because they typically include many key moments from a film while also being short and accessible to the public,鈥 said Andreea Pocol, a PhD candidate in computer science at 蓝莓视频 and co-author of the study. 鈥淭railers give us a reliable snapshot of a film, so we can extract a lot of data efficiently.鈥
