Automatic Movie Analysis and Summarisation Philip John Gorinski I V N E R U S E I T H Y T O H F G E R D I N B U Doctor of Philosophy Institute for Language, Cognition and Computation School of Informatics University of Edinburgh 2017 Abstract Automatic movie analysis is the task of employing Machine Learning methods to the field of screenplays, movie scripts, and motion pictures to facilitate or enable vari- ous tasks throughout the entirety of a movie’s life-cycle. From helping with making informed decisions about a new movie script with respect to aspects such as its origi- nality, similarity to other movies, or even commercial viability, all the way to offering consumers new and interesting ways of viewing the final movie, many stages in the life-cycle of a movie stand to benefit from Machine Learning techniques that promise to reduce human effort, time, or both.

    Transcript a Pinewood Dialogue with Paul Schrader

    TRANSCRIPT A PINEWOOD DIALOGUE WITH PAUL SCHRADER Paul Schrader made his mark as a film critic with a definitive essay about film noir . As a filmmaker, he received widespread attention for his screenplays for Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver and Raging Bull . Since his directorial debut with the incisive working-class drama Blue Collar , Schrader has made some of the most austere and rigorous movies to emerge from contemporary Hollywood. His biggest critical success to date, which he discusses here, is the independent film Affliction , a lean and unrelenting version of Russell Banks's novel, a father-son drama featuring a riveting central performance by Nick Nolte. A Pinewood Dialogue with Paul Schrader, take away from the film. So could you talk about moderated by Chief Curator David Schwartz that? (January 10, 1999): SCHRADER: Yeah. Russell Banks said to me fairly SCHWARTZ: Please welcome Paul Schrader. early on in the rehearsals, he said, “You know that (Applause) the main character, of course, is the narrator.” And I had sort of assumed he meant the main SCHRADER: Thank you. I was wondering, you character is me, you know, because I’m the know, just exactly how many people would come author. But as I got deeper and deeper into it, I out to see a sort of severe movie while the Jets started to realize, in fact, what he meant by that, were playing.

    Cliff Harrington

    “I have shaken the hand of Moses, Michelangelo and Ben Hur.” Cliff Harrington Cliff interviewing Charlton Heston, Imperial Hotel, 1976 Cliff Harrington (1932 — 2013), traveler, writer, English teacher, friend Interviewed by Allan Murphy, Tokyo 26 March, 1998 Text copyright Allan Murphy, 2017 http://www.finelinepress.co.nz "1 Preface I met Clifford (Cliff) Harrington when we both worked for an English language school in Tokyo. The English Language Education Council (ELEC) had its own seven-storey building, next to Senshu University, for over 40 years before moving to smaller premises in Jimbocho. We worked together for at least 10 years. The school's foreign teachers basically fell into one of two camps. There were the older teachers with 20 or more years of time here and to whom Japan was home. And there were the younger teachers with a maximum of five years or so here. Most were in Japan for the travel experience or what Australians refer to as "the gap year" — a break after graduating from university and before taking a full-time job at home. Needless to say, Cliff was in the former group, and I was in the latter. Of all the old hands, to me anyway, it seemed that only Cliff could truly relate to the younger staff. Typically on a Friday night after work, Cliff and half a dozen other teachers would go to a nearby pub. Along with the beer, soon travel stories would be pouring out. Everyone had some interesting experiences to share. But, whenever it became Cliff's turn, he'd easily trump all of us and then hold the floor.
