Interesting! Although I’d argue that we don’t have to quite so extreme (e.g. treating individual movies as specific tasks). Rather, if movie content can be annotated, this allows for generalizable inferences. Ralf Schmälzle & I have drafted some ideas for what this looks like doi.org/10.3389/fnin...

The arrow of causality from media content to reception responses to media effects. The bottom left panel illustrates how content analysis quantifies content (e.g., for use as a design matrix), allowing to map out brain systems responding to specific content elements. These can then be linked to effects of media consumption. Of note, reception responses to an incoming (causal) media stimulus can also be modulated by receiver state, background knowledge, beliefs, and so forth.

Linking hierarchies of content with matching reception mechanisms and integration with media effects. Content is a deceptively singular word, but it encompasses multiple layers - from manifest (e.g., pixels) to latent content (e.g., subtext, story morals). Understanding content as a network of information layers (left panel) allows for its comprehensive quantification, facilitating the identification of corresponding reception mechanisms. In a similar fashion, we can also integrate individual-specific neurocognitive processes during media reception to media effects and social levels.
