Claim:
1. A method of analyzing a video, the method comprising: determining movement of all elements within a video between a first frame of the video and a second frame of the video; determining, based on the determined movement, whether the movement of all the elements is in a uniform movement direction or whether two or more elements have a disparate movement direction; determining, in response to determining that two or more elements have a disparate movement direction, whether a scene of the video that is associated with the first frame of the video and the second frame of the video includes a dominant element, wherein determining whether the scene includes a dominant element is based on numbers of pixels associated with elements included in the scene and whether one of the elements has more pixels associated with it than any of the other elements; determining, in response to determining that the scene includes the dominant element, a position of the dominant element within the scene; and determining a foreground and a background within the video based on the position of dominant element.
