Film Script Analysis -- Case Study 13 -- Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back¶
-----20 Movies Script Visualizations will be done------This could be done for the 1000+ movie script I segmented--- I just randomly chose 20 movie scripts from the segmented movies....
The aim of this project is to provide detailed insights into different movies analyzed focusing on the characters, their dialogues, scene locations, emotional and sentiment analysis of the whole movie and the individual characters, character's interaction with one another and finally gender distribution in the each movie analyzed.¶
To execute this project, the following objectives were done:¶
Web scraping of the movie scripts (Over 1000+ movies were scraped from imsdb website)
Movies segmentation into Scenes --> Scene Location, Scene Action/Description, Scene Dialogues, Scene Characters (All the movies scraped were segmented except those that do not follow the "Screenplay format i.e. INT / EXT)"
Character extraction and appearances plot ---> Here, characters were plotted based on how many times they appeared and spoke in each scene and across the movie.
Character Interaction Mapping --> We mapped out the connection between all the characters in the movie and also the interaction between the Top 10 characters in the movie.
Here, we looked at the Most mentioned character based on the Scene dialogues and also the characters each character mention the most in their conversation.
Similar to Number 5., Here looked at who a specific character talks with the most in the Movie.
Emotional and Sentiment Analysis across the whole movie and for each individual character, However for this project we limited it to only the Top 10 characters. ---> This gives us the character's emotion when he/she appears in the movie.
Additional Scene Informations --> Exact Scene Locations, Scenes with dialogs and no dialogs, Scenes that occurred during the Day or in the Night, Scenes location based on Outdoor or Indoor appearances.
Gender Distribution in the movie

2. Character appearance plots¶
In [52]:
ext = extract_characters(df_film, df_film_dialogue, df_film_characters, film)
In [53]:
movie_characters = ext.extract_character_plot()
In [54]:
dia = scene_dialogues(df_film, film)
In [55]:
df_xter_app = dia.character_appearances(movie_characters)
Lets check the appearance of the top 3 characters across the Movie¶
In [56]:
#Movie characters....
print('Movie Characters: \n', movie_characters)
Movie Characters: ['HAN', 'LUKE', 'LEIA', 'THREEPIO', 'LANDO', 'VADER', 'YODA', 'PIETT', 'CREATURE', 'RIEEKAN', 'BEN', 'WEDGE', 'DECK OFFICER', 'VEERS', 'ZEV', 'OZZEL', 'NEEDA', 'EMPEROR', 'DACK', 'JANSON', "BEN'S VOICE", 'BOBA FETT', 'DERLIN', 'ANNOUNCER', 'CONTROLLER', 'TRENCH OFFICER', 'LIEUTENANT', 'SENIOR CONTROLLER', 'MEDICAL DROID', 'IMPERIAL OFFICER', 'TRACKING OFFICER', 'COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER', 'INTERCOM VOICE']
In [57]:
df_1st_count, df_1st_dialogue = dia.xter_count_perscene(movie_characters[0])
In [58]:
dia.scene_dialogue_plot(df_1st_count)
In [59]:
df_2nd_count, df_2nd_dialogue = dia.xter_count_perscene(movie_characters[1])
dia.scene_dialogue_plot(df_2nd_count)
In [60]:
df_third_count, df_third_dialogue = dia.xter_count_perscene(movie_characters[2])
dia.scene_dialogue_plot(df_third_count)
In [61]:
df_2_count, df_2_dialogue = dia.xter_count_perscene(movie_characters[:2])
dia.scene_dialogue_plot(df_2_count)
In [63]:
# df_3_count, df_3_dialogue = dia.xter_count_perscene(movie_characters[1:3])
# dia.scene_dialogue_plot(df_3_count)
3. Character Interaction Mapping¶
In [64]:
interact = interaction(df_film, film)
In [65]:
graph_list = interact.character_interaction()
In [70]:
# G = net.MultiGraph()
# for scene in graph_list:
# nodes = list(itertools.combinations(scene,2))
# for pair in nodes:
# G.add_edges_from([pair])
# page_ranked_nodes = net.pagerank_numpy(G,0.95)
# net.enumerate_all_cliques(G)
# between_nodes = net.betweenness_centrality(G, normalized=True, endpoints=True)
In [67]:
interact.character_interaction_plot(G, page_ranked_nodes)
Let break it down to the Top 10 Characters¶
In [68]:
#Remember to Re-run the above multigraph code aafter running this code line
graph_list = interact.top10_character_interaction(movie_characters[:10])
In [71]:
interact.character_interaction_plot(G, page_ranked_nodes)
4. Characters mentioned the most in Scene Dialogues (Most-talked about characters in the movie.......) and who each character mention the most in their specific dialogue¶
In [72]:
xtr = character_mentions(df_film, movie_characters, film)
In [73]:
xter_mentions = xtr.most_mentioned()
Lets the check the appearance of the 3 most mentioned characters in the Movie¶
In [75]:
xtr.top_xters_mentions(xter_mentions, 3)
Lets check who specific characters mention the most in their dialogues in the movie¶
In [76]:
print(movie_characters)
['HAN', 'LUKE', 'LEIA', 'THREEPIO', 'LANDO', 'VADER', 'YODA', 'PIETT', 'CREATURE', 'RIEEKAN', 'BEN', 'WEDGE', 'DECK OFFICER', 'VEERS', 'ZEV', 'OZZEL', 'NEEDA', 'EMPEROR', 'DACK', 'JANSON', "BEN'S VOICE", 'BOBA FETT', 'DERLIN', 'ANNOUNCER', 'CONTROLLER', 'TRENCH OFFICER', 'LIEUTENANT', 'SENIOR CONTROLLER', 'MEDICAL DROID', 'IMPERIAL OFFICER', 'TRACKING OFFICER', 'COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER', 'INTERCOM VOICE']
In [77]:
df_hn = xtr.talk_about_xters(df_film_dialogue, 'HAN')
In [78]:
df_lk = xtr.talk_about_xters(df_film_dialogue, 'LUKE')
In [79]:
df_lei = xtr.talk_about_xters(df_film_dialogue, 'LEIA')
Lets check who specific characters talk with the most in the movie¶
In [80]:
df_hn = xtr.most_talked_with('HAN')
In [81]:
df_luke = xtr.most_talked_with(movie_characters[1])
We could continue to check this for every character but I will pause here....¶
5. Emotional Arcs and Sentiment Analysis across the Movie and for each characters¶
In [82]:
etn = emotions_sentiments(df_film, film)
In [48]:
df_film_sentiment = etn.film_sentiment('#17becf')
In [83]:
df_film_emotion = etn.film_emotional_arc()
Lets check the emotional content for the Top 10 characters in the Movie¶
In [84]:
df_top10_emotions = etn.emotional_content_plot(df_film_dialogue, movie_characters, 11)
In [85]:
df_han_emotions = etn.emotional_arc_xter_plot(df_film_emotion, 'HAN')
In [86]:
df_luke_emotions = etn.emotional_arc_xter_plot(df_film_emotion, 'LUKE')
In [87]:
df_threeio_emotions = etn.emotional_arc_xter_plot(df_film_emotion, 'THREEPIO')
As usual, this can be done for all characters in the movie, but we will pause here....¶
4. Movie additional information: Exact Scene location, Indoor/Outdoor Scenes percent, Time of Day occurences in the movie....¶
In [88]:
info = scene_info_plots(df_film, film)
In [89]:
info.extract_scene_locations()
In [90]:
info.pie_plots()
5. Gender Distribution in the Movie¶
In [91]:
gd = gender(movie_characters, film)
In [92]:
df_gender = gd.gender_types(px.colors.sequential.Viridis)
