My CEDITRAA story
“In my research project: “Cultural Dynamics and Visual Distinctiveness in Korean Cinema”, I explore the intersection of visual aesthetics, cultural dimensions, and market performance in the Korean film industry. My project investigates how visual similarity and distinctiveness influence a film’s commercial success and how cultural factors moderate this relationship. Utilizing computer vision and large language models, the study develops a data-driven approach to analyzing films, leveraging feature extraction techniques to quantify aesthetic elements such as color, composition, and style. By integrating cultural analysis with machine learning, the research contributes to optimal distinctiveness theory and advances the use of computational methods in cultural and organizational studies, offering insights into the evolving landscape of global creative industries.”
