Analysis of theatrical effects in multimedia picture story show

Abstract

Impressions of combinations of lighting patterns, lyrics and music are analyzed for designing the system which generates the theatrical effects using the three modal media based on adjectives representing producer's impressions of story scenes. Impression spaces of three modal media are constructed by factor analysis using data obtained by pre-experiments. The three modal media are generated according to the coordinates in the impression spaces of three modal media, where the coordinates are estimated using the concept of co-occurrence of inputted adjectives. In this paper, subject experiments are performed to analyze the interaction of combinations of the three modal media. The following four combinations are considered: (1) combinations based on same adjectives, (2) combinations based on counter adjectives, (3) combinations based on similar adjectives, (4) combinations based on dissimilar adjectives. Experimental results show that combinations (1),(3), and (4) are effective as theatrical effects of story scenes.
