Item The "Perfect" Romantic Comedy: An Exploration in Data-Driven Creativity(2023-05) Minkowitz, JuliaBy assigning numeric factors to qualitative aspects of Romantic Comedy movies, particularly the highest grossing Romantic Comedies, a data model will be constructed to determine what creates a "perfect" Romantic Comedy in terms of commercial success. While data is powerful in the determination of how business decisions should be made, should the same logic be applied to creative fields? While, of course, art is not always meant to reach commercial success, would the achievement of such a thing be considered art at all? In determination of this experiment, a screenplay that is made up of these "perfect" attributes will be constructed. The central question data-driven creativity is not a definite yes or no answer. Rather, it is in a gray area where data can both drive creativity and be a limiting factor. Seeing as data constrains the creator of art, it can be a limiting factor. Yet, with one's own biases and preferences, it can establish one to go out of their comfort zone. Creativity is a journey, not a destination. Data can provide a map on this quest, but will not provide everything needed to make a creative work viable.
