Abstract

This paper presents a new framework for representing and playing user selected video narrative domains. Hypermedia graphs, generated from complex video narratives provide users with links to selected sequences of the whole video. These graphs have three main structures, representing three different domains: story time domain, space domain and character domain. Complex narratives are often enriched by different parallel lines of narrative or stories within the story, only intersected in one or two of the above mentioned domains. This can be difficult to understand and analyze. The proposed graphs can make these lines visible. More than that, an automatic procedure can search these stories within the story. Then, using suitable signal time alignment procedures, a set of kernel films can be built, each one showing one perspective or even just one of the stories within the story of the whole film.
