Recommending Movies Based on Mise en Scene Design
In this paper, we present an ongoing work that will ultimately result in a movie recommender system based on the Mise en Scene characteristics of the movies. We believe that the preferences of users on movies can be well described in terms of the mise en scene, i.e. the design aspects of movie making influencing aesthetic and style. Examples of mise en scene characteristics are lighting, colors, background, and movements. Our recommender system opens new opportunities in the design of new user interfaces able to offer a personalized way to search for interesting movies through the analysis of film styles rather than using the traditional classifications of movies based on explicit attributes such as genre and cast.
