Automatic Generation Algorithm of Movie and TV Scripts Based on ChatGPT

A movie or TV script is a meticulously crafted document that serves as the blueprint for a visual storytelling project. It outlines the dialogue, actions, and scene descriptions that will unfold on screen, guiding actors, directors, and crew members in bringing the story to life. Each script is divided into scenes and acts, with clear instructions on character entrances and exits, camera angles, and pacing. This paper introduces a novel framework for enhancing the quality of movie and TV scripts through the integration of the Combinational Multi-Stage Genetic Optimization (CMSGO) model with ChatGPT, a state-of-the-art language generation model. The CMSGO model utilizes iterative optimization techniques to systematically refine and enhance script elements such as coherence, dialogue flow, character development, and overall narrative structure. The proposed CMSGO model comprises the Combinational model with the genetic optimization function. The function CMSGO model examines the fitness function with the Multi-Stage Optimization process. The proposed CMSGO model uses the estimation of features in the Multi-stage optimization model with the computation of features related to the scripts. Through 20 generations of optimization, the CMSGO model demonstrates its effectiveness in improving script quality, as evidenced by a steady increase in average script quality scores. Additionally, the multi-stage optimization approach targets specific aspects of script quality, allowing for targeted adjustments to parameters related to character motivations, plot coherence, and tone. Viewer opinions further validate the efficacy of the generated scripts, with positive evaluations across various aspects such as audience engagement, coherence, emotional impact, and originality. The proposed framework offers a robust and data-driven approach to scriptwriting, enabling the creation of high-quality movie and TV scripts that captivate and resonate with audiences, thus enriching the overall viewing experience.

Movie Review Sentiment Analysis and AI-Story Generation Web Application

Abstract: This paper presents a web application designed to enhance the interaction between users and multimedia content through two innovative platforms: "MOVIE REVIEW SENTIMENT ANALYSIS" and "AI-STORY GENERATION." The first platform leverages the Fastai library and LSTM networks to perform sentiment analysis on user-submitted movie reviews, determining their polarity as positive or negative. This analysis directly influences the movie's aggregate rating, with the system capable of processing extensive textual input with high accuracy. Ratings are dynamically updated and stored in JSON format. The second platform, AI-STORY GENERATION, introduces a creative avenue for generating novel stories based on user prompts. It utilizes Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques and a Generative Pretrained Transformer (GPT-2 Large) model, trained on tokenized movie scripts, to produce coherent and engaging narratives. The Flask web framework supports the application's backend, providing a robust and scalable foundation for user interaction and content delivery. This dual-platform approach not only demonstrates the practical application of advanced machine learning and NLP techniques in enhancing digital entertainment experiences but also showcases the potential for AI-driven tools to foster creative storytelling. The integration of sentiment analysis and story generation within a single application illustrates a novel use case of AI in the context of web-based entertainment, potentially paving the way for more personalized and interactive user experiences

Dr Hunter S. Thompson’s horrible letter opener: A study in object identity, adaptation and prop selection

Objects can have rich, complex stories of themselves as items or play a crucial role in telling the tale of another. This article traces the hunting knife from Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas as it is contacted by sources of influence and experiences transitions and re-definitions starting with the original tapes recorded by Thompson during the trip, through his original article and book and continuing to include spec scripts, the final movie script and performances on both stage and screen. The hunting knife plays a significant role in certain scenes across all these mediums, one that is a mix of form vs. function and is so complicated that no visual depiction yet has used the actual knife noted in the text because its appearance does not match the emotional dread conjured by the text. This article engages questions of accuracy and narrative truth as it explores the depiction of the weapon and the complicated interface of object identity and adaptation in the material culture of literature and visual performance.

Comparison of Graph Distance Measures for Movie Similarity Using a Multilayer Network Model.

Graph distance measures have emerged as an effective tool for evaluating the similarity or dissimilarity between graphs. Recently, there has been a growing trend in the application of movie networks to analyze and understand movie stories. Previous studies focused on computing the distance between individual characters in narratives and identifying the most important ones. Unlike previous techniques, which often relied on representing movie stories through single-layer networks based on characters or keywords, a new multilayer network model was developed to allow a more comprehensive representation of movie stories, including character, keyword, and location aspects. To assess the similarities among movie stories, we propose a methodology that utilizes a multilayer network model and layer-to-layer distance measures. We aim to quantify the similarity between movie networks by verifying two aspects: (i) regarding many components of the movie story and (ii) quantifying the distance between their corresponding movie networks. We tend to explore how five graph distance measures reveal the similarity between movie stories in two aspects: (i) finding the order of similarity among movies within the same genre, and (ii) classifying movie stories based on genre. We select movies from various genres: sci-fi, horror, romance, and comedy. We extract movie stories from movie scripts regarding character, keyword, and location entities to perform this. Then, we compute the distance between movie networks using different methods, such as the network portrait divergence, the network Laplacian spectra descriptor (NetLSD), the network embedding as matrix factorization (NetMF), the Laplacian spectra, and D-measure. The study shows the effectiveness of different methods for identifying similarities among various genres and classifying movies across different genres. The results suggest that the efficiency of an approach on a specific network type depends on its capacity to capture the inherent network structure of that type. We propose incorporating the approach into movie recommendation systems.

Hospice Words. Text Mining and Visualizations in Ken Kesey’s Cuckoo’s Nest and Hauben & Goldman’s Movie Script

Miloš Forman’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest film adaptation released in 1975 captures the essence of Ken Kesey’s novel, additionally making some remarkable “European” differences to match the medium of the long picture format. The movie adaptation was made during a time of significant social and cultural change in the United States and finally put in front of the public something that nobody dared to touch in the industry. From a digital perspective, not many Romanian scientific articles have cobbled together and used data mining tools for textual analysis of distributions, recurrences, and term stylometry criteria to highlight information about the characters, attributes, the fundamental or secondary themes of a literary work. With this aim, and with the help of data synthesis and visual representations offered by Voyant Tools, we tried to quantitatively mark how, both in the book and in the film script, the quickly extracted data can comparatively highlight the main protagonists, themes, correlations and other attributes of the novel and the script. For the corpus analysis, we used the movie script available on DailyScript, and the 50th Anniversary Edition of the book, printed by Viking, Penguin Group, in 2012.
