PySceneDetect – A tool for detecting scenes in movies
a Film is a collection of shots, scenes and sequences. Shots are fairly easy to detect. Most editing software comes with built in shot detection.This approach promises to detect scenes. I’m not enough of a coder to know if it is valid, but I can certainly imagine that it is a solvable problem. Most scenes are defined by location, and movies makers like each locatation to be distinct from the preceding one.To my mind, sequences are where the action is at. Sequences are defined by narrative development... These can usually be defined by a trained human, but are probably tough to computationly define.There is also a huge difference between film genres. The scenes and sequences of Finding Nemo are pretty easy to define. But you try the same approach on an art house film like The Scent of Green Papaya, and see how far you get.https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/movie-storystruc...
