Number Crunching Shows Old Movies Are More Creative Than New Ones - Wired Science
Nature Publishing - Quantitative analysis of the evolution of novelty in cinema through crowdsourced keywords
"Another part of the analysis seem to correspond to theories put forth by social scientists about how much we enjoy novelty in creative works, said Sreenivasan. In general, humans enjoy new things. More specifically, there’s a tendency for people to look at and like things that are new but not too new." No way!
"Using the revenue generated by different films as a measure of its mass appeal, Sreenivasan found that more novel films sold more tickets until they reached a score of about 0.8. Afterwards, they appeared to decline in popularity and revenue." Je kan daar zowel voor als nadelen in zien maar voor film is het toch jammer dat mensen enkel iets nieuws kunnen appreciëren als het niet al te nieuw is. Iets bekijken dat je vooropgestelde grenzen overschrijdt lijkt voor de meesten te radicaal?
"Science-fiction films, on the other hand, show no similar creative uptick during the same period. According to the analysis, novelty in sci-fi has declined essentially since the genre first made it into movies." :'(
