A conventional movie can be converted into a 4D movie by identifying effect scenes. In order to automate this process, in this paper, we propose a multimodal deep learning model that detects effect scenes using both visual and audio features of a movie. We have classified effect/non-effect scenes using audio-based Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network (CRNN) model and video-based Long Short-term Memory (LSTM) and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) model. Also, we have implemented feature-level fusion. In addition, based on our own observation that effects typically occur during non-dialog scenes, we further detected non-dialog scenes using audio-based Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model. Subsequently, the prediction scores of audio-visual effect scene classification and audio-based non-dialog classification models were combined. Finally, we detected sequences of effect scenes of the entire movie using prediction score of the input window. Experiments using real-world 4D movies demonstrate that the proposed multimodal deep learning model outperforms unimodal models in terms of effect scene detection accuracy.
