Tools

For the Week of September 10

• Brainstorm other ideas (ok if you don't have any)
• Research the ideas below
• Research existing film composer or general composer tools
• If you have questions about what something means below discuss on slack!

Ideas for Tools

Quick Visual Film Analysis - An instant spotting session for composers

— A tool that presents all the key moments in a film a composer may need. A timeline with emotional arcs from characters, when characters appear, how their emotions correspond, main objects on films, change in color.

Kipp, Jacob, Damon

Visual Analysis:

• C.N.N. - read intro
• U.I. - present

reMelodize and reHarmonize

-- A tool that can be used to create infinite chord progressions for a given melody, or infinite melodies for a chord progression

Omega, Katie (Adam)

• Chord progressions RNN
• Music 21 and overall
• U.I. - Create Ideas

Analysis Tool for Existing Films

-- Combine our visual analysis system with standard Music Information Retrieval (MIR) techniques to analyze existing films.

— For MIR there are lots of toolboxes/existing code out there we could use. A good one is https://github.com/MTG/essentia.

— This would be most interesting with lots of data analysis. Comparing how all the films of 3 different composers all respond to a sad main character etc.
