6. Conclusion

This work extends the idea of a novel holistic approach to the movie genre classification problem that includes affective and cognitive levels by considering multiple modalities, including situation from the frame, dialogues from speech, and meta-data (movie plot and description). We also built a Hollywood English movie trailers dataset EMTD that includes around 2000 trailers from 5 genres, namely action, comedy, horror, romance, science fiction, to pursue this study. We experimented with various model architectures as discussed in Section 5.2 and also validated our final framework on EMTD and on standard LMTD-9 [2] that achieves AU (PRC) values of 0.92 and 0.82 respectively. Our study's main aim is to build a robust framework to classify a movie genre from its short clip i.e., trailer. Although our study includes English speech as a feature, it can also be applied to some Non-English trailers. For Non-English ones, our model can incorporate the video features only, so on the basis of that, predictions can be made by our architecture.

For extension of our proposed model, background audio studies based on vocals can also be incorporated. Hence, in the future, we plan to build a framework considering background vocals in audio along with our current framework to better extract and use most features from movie trailers. We also plan to add some more genres to our study for multi-label classification.
