Abstract
This study aims to analyze mise-en-scène in movies. Although the mise-en-scène includes all the entities that appear on the scene, we focus on metaphorical meanings of the entities. When entities are expressions of the same metaphorical symbol, lexical meanings of the entities will be relevant to each other. Also, if a metaphorical symbol is significant for storytelling, the symbol will appear on most of the scenes. Therefore, we find groups of entities, which share similar lexical meanings and appear allover the movie. As a preliminary study, we have applied these approaches on terms in movie scripts with simple natural language processing techniques. Although we have not conducted evaluation yet, we anticipate that the proposed method will be helpful for analyzing artistic and topical intentions of movie directors.
