Abstract
Movie summarization and indexing is the study which takes into account the understanding of the audiences. Besides, movie summarization focuses on reducing the length of a movie. Regarding this work, we propose a character network analysis to index and summarize the given movie. The method is based on the discovery and analysis of characters with respect to their appearance and the relationships among them in the movie. The strategy analysis is used to detect scenes, to segment the sub-plots of the story, and to extract character network and the main storyline of the movie. As a result, the social strength of each character in the social network is measured using measurement techniques that will then be used to mine the main plotline of the movie. In the final stage, the main storyline is used to provide a summarized version of the movie based on the social power of the characters. Experiments were carried out with 17 series of the Star Wars, the Lord of the Rings and the Harry Potter. The experimental evaluation results show that this study should index and extract summarization versions while keeping the understanding of the audiences.

Movie analysis is a method which takes into account the analyzing and discovery movie’s content. The goal of this work is to serve the easier method for movie understanding. When audiences watch the given movie, they usually discover the plotline and the characters’ relationships.

The protagonist makes audience experience the story, and other characters support the protagonist to tell the story of the movie.
