Outline of Final Research Achievements

This comparative study of films aimed at discovering different approaches to the use of shots developed in difference language domains after the national film period. We built a software tool for marking the boundary of shots supported by computer vision. We analyzed 91 films chosen from the list of greatest hits of each year. It was found that values of mean and standard deviation could be used to characterize the structure of films. Temporal order of shots was also needed to better understand the overall structure of films.
