The objective of the AWESOME project is to investigate the emotional dimension of movie and provide support for the classification, access, navigation and visualization of movies based on the emotions expressed in the content of the movies as well as the emotions felt by the viewers during and after watching movies. This will help users to gain more awareness on the emotional impact of watching movies and empower them in regulating emotions when accessing and watching movies and videos. The project will analyze and classify movie content based on the emotional processing of three information streams: subtitles, audio, and visual video content. It will also create effective interactive access, navigation and visualization of the movies based on the content and the emotional impact on viewers.
