Smart Platform for Film Shooting Management

Abstract

Producing a movie involves difficult and time-consuming phases, specially, pre-production and production. It's a challenging task to find out suitable locations for each scene and building a schedule without any clashes. We have proposed and implemented a platform for film shooting management with following modules: (1) identify required background for each scene, (2) classify available film shooting locations, (3) compare the required background and available film shooting locations and (4) schedule the shooting of each scene. We have used natural language processing, image processing, string matching algorithms and optimization techniques to implement the above-mentioned modules. Our results show that, using our proposed modules, the film shooting management related services can be automated efficiently and effectively.
