CineScale: Recognising Cinematic Shot Scales

We provide a database containing shot scale annotations (i.e., the apparent distance of the camera from the subject of a filmed scene) for more than 792,000 image frames. Frames belong to 124 full movies from the entire filmographies by 6 important directors: Martin Scorsese, Jean-Luc Godard, Bela Tarr, Federico Fellini, Michelangelo Antonioni, and Ingmar Bergman. Each frame, extracted from videos at 1 frame per second, is annotated on the following scale categories: Extreme Close Up (ECU), Close Up (CU), Medium Close Up (MCU), Medium Shot (MS), Medium Long Shot (MLS), Long Shot (LS), Extreme Long Shot (ELS), Foreground Shot (FS), and Insert Shots (IS). Two independent coders annotated all frames from the 124 movies, whilst a third one checked their coding and made decisions in cases of disagreement. All the original frames can be asked to the authors or from the official project page: https://cinescale.github.io/本研究构建并提供一个数据库，内含超过79.2万张图像帧的镜头景别标注（shot scale annotations）——该标注指拍摄场景中相机与拍摄主体的表观距离。这些图像帧均取自6位国际知名导演完整电影作品集中的124部完整影片，六位导演分别为：马丁·斯科塞斯（Martin Scorsese）、让-吕克·戈达尔（Jean-Luc Godard）、贝拉·塔尔（Bela Tarr）、费德里科·费利尼（Federico Fellini）、米开朗基罗·安东尼奥尼（Michelangelo Antonioni）以及英格玛·伯格曼（Ingmar Bergman）。所有图像帧均以每秒1帧的速率从原视频中提取，并按照以下景别类别进行标注：极端特写（Extreme Close Up, ECU）、特写（Close Up, CU）、中近景（Medium Close Up, MCU）、中景（Medium Shot, MS）、中全景（Medium Long Shot, MLS）、全景（Long Shot, LS）、极端全景（Extreme Long Shot, ELS）、前景镜头（Foreground Shot, FS）以及插入镜头（Insert Shots, IS）。两名独立编码员对这124部影片的全部图像帧进行标注，另有第三名编码员对标注结果进行复核，并在两名编码员意见不一致时做出最终裁定。所有原始图像帧可通过向作者申请，或访问本项目官方页面https://cinescale.github.io/获取。
