DEEP FILM Access Project (DFAP)

深度电影访问项目(DFAP)旨在释放存在于工业数字电影制作产生的大数据集中的潜在机会。作为一个过程，电影制作最近达到了一个规模和复杂的程度，出现了一个新的现场“数据辩论”角色，负责管理仅由摄像机(S饰)产生的数据--计算机生成的图像和立体3D拍摄之间的相互关联使数据变得更加复杂。即使是小的独立制作也要在多台摄像机上拍摄，这会线性增加原材料的体积，并以指数级增加数据项之间的相互关系。此外，由创作过程产生的数据，如导演和摄制组关于质量的注释，关于每个镜头的后勤和组织，关于道具信息等，都与相机数据分开记录。目前，所有这些数据的档案惯例都存在重复和出错的机会；这也使得不同类型的数据无法以综合的方式进行搜索。随着电影完成从光化学到数字的过渡，需要新的存档方法和程序来处理这些数据，这也提供了对电影制作过程和结果进行新的深入分析的可能性。DFAP将开发一个综合的程序和框架来管理数字故事片制作产生的所有资产。首先，我们将设计分类和定义，使数据资产的描述、分层和链接标准化，并使其能够在网上公开访问。然后，我们将定义一种方法，将这些信息与所有参与电影制作的人员(演员、摄制组等)所做的记录整合在一起。因此，DFAP将有可能联合询问摄像机产生的数据和创作过程产生的数据。DFAP将探索这种联合询问打开的一系列问题，以及这些问题如何导致电影制作数据以新的方式使用，跨越学术学科和行业专业，以挑战和扩展现有的知识和实践。DFAP开发的新方法将以英国电影导演萨莉·波特的最新电影《金发与罗莎》(2012)为试点进行测试和评估。这是一部完全在英国拍摄的年代故事片，预算为350万英镑，剧组成员超过155人，几乎在所有方面都是完全数字化的。它提供了当代英国工业数字故事片制作的一个标志性例子。DFAP将利用试点来获得一个有意义的规模，并确定其集成系统需要什么才能应用于其他项目和材料。DFAP的发现和结果将在同行评议的期刊和会议上公布。一个项目网站将记录该项目的进展情况以及调查结果。此外，作为Ginger&Rosa试验的结果创建的综合数据集将通过Sally Potter的在线档案公开访问。

The DEEP FILM Access Project (DFAP) aims to unlock latent opportunities that exist within big and complex data sets generated by industrial digital film production. Filmmaking as a process recently reached a scale and complexity where a new on-set 'data wrangling' role has emerged to manage the data generated by the camera(s) alone - further complicated by inter-relating Computer Generated Imagery and shooting in Stereoscopic 3D. Even small independent productions film on multiple cameras, increasing linearly the volume of raw material and exponentially the inter-relations between data items. Furthermore, data generated by the creative process, such as director and crew notations on quality, on the logistics and organisation of each shot, on props information and more, is recorded separately from camera data. Currently, the archival conventions for all this data contains duplication and opportunities for error; it also makes it impossible to search different kinds of data in an integrated way. As film completes its transition from photo-chemical to digital, new archival methods and processes are needed to cope with the data which also offers the potential for novel in-depth analysis of the film making process and results.DFAP will develop an integrated process and framework for the management of all of the assets created by digital feature film production. First, we will design classifications and definitions that will standardise the description, layering and interlinking of data assets and enable them to be openly accessible online. Then, we will define a way in which this information can be integrated with the records made by all those who work on the making of the film (actors, crew, etc). Consequently, it will be possible to jointly interrogate the data generated by the cameras and the data generated by the creative process.DFAP will explore the range of questions that this joint interrogation opens up, and how these questions might lead to film production data being used in new ways, across academic disciplines and industry professions, to challenge and expand existing knowledge and practices.The new approach developed by DFAP will be tested and evaluated using British film director Sally Potter's latest release, Ginger & Rosa (2012), as a pilot. A period feature shot entirely on location in the UK, with a 3.5 million pound budget and a crew of over 155 members, it is almost entirely digital in all aspects. It provides an emblematic example of an industrial digital feature film production in contemporary Britain. DFAP will use the pilot to gain a sense scale and to define what its integrated system would require to be applied to other projects and materials.The findings and outcomes of DFAP will be presented in peer reviewed journals and conferences. A project website will document the project as it develops, as well as its findings. In addition, the integrated dataset created as a result of the Ginger & Rosa pilot will be made openly accessible via Sally Potter's online archive.
