Association Between Timbre Perception Features and Fine-Grained Emotions in Film and Television Music

Xiaomeng Ren, Zhibin Su, Wei Jiang, Jingyu Liu · 2024

As an integral component of modern cultural works, the role of film and television music in artistic expression and emotional communication has become increasingly significant. Timbre, as a crucial attribute of music, has primarily been studied in terms of the influence of its fundamental objective parameters on coarse-grained emotions. However, there is a lack of in-depth exploration of the association between timbre perception features and fine-grained emotion. Consequently, this paper approaches from the perspective of timbre perception features and fine-grained emotions in film and television music. By conducting perceptual evaluation and subjective emotional annotation experiments, it analyzes the correlation between timbre perception features and fine-grained emotions, confirming that timbre perception features significantly influence musical emotions. Furthermore, a multivariate linear regression model was employed to construct a fine-grained emotion prediction model, which has demonstrated good predictive ability for most musical emotions. This research provides a new perspective on understanding the relationship between timbre and emotion in film and television music, offering a scientific basis for its creation and performance.
