Affective Impact of Movies Dataset

This dataset is intended to be used for benchmarking techniques that automatically detect video content that depicts violence, or predict the affective impact that video content will have on viewers (valence - arousal). It consists of around 10,000 video clips extracted from about 100-200 movies, both professionally made and amateur movies. Movies are shared under Creative Commons licenses that allow redistribution.

The dataset was validated during the 2015 Affective Impact of Movies Task at the MediaEval Benchmarking Initiative for Multimedia Evaluation.
