Indexing narrative structure and semantics in motion pictures with a probabilistic framework
conference contribution
posted on 2003-01-01, 00:00 authored by B Adams, C Dorai, Svetha VenkateshSvetha Venkatesh, H BuiThis work constitutes the first attempt to extract an important narrative structure, the 3-Act story telling paradigm, in film. This narrative structure is prevalent in the domain of film as it forms the foundation and framework in which the film can be made to function as an effective tool for story telling, and its extraction is a vital step in automatic content management for film data. A novel act boundary likelihood function for Act 1 is derived using a Bayesian formulation under guidance from film grammar, tested under many configurations and the results are reported for experiments involving 25 full length movies. The formulation is shown to be a useful tool in both the automatic and semi-interactive setting for semantic analysis of film.
