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.

  • Author Nicholas Sparks Dismisses Allegations of Homophobia & Racism As Broadway Readies for ‘The Notebook’ Musical
    Author Nicholas Sparks Dismisses Allegations of Homophobia & Racism As Broadway Readies For ‘The Notebook’ Musical deadline.com/2019/06/nicholas-sparks-broadway-the-notebook-musical-homophobic-antigay-allegations- 1202632304 For the second time in recent months, real-world controversy has visited the make-believe world of Broadway musicals. Nicholas Sparks, whose 1996 novel The Notebook is being turned into a Broadway musical by, among others, playwright and This Is Us producer Bekah Brunstetter, was slammed in a Daily Beast article today for seemingly anti-gay emails he sent to the former headmaster of the faith-based prep school Sparks co-founded in 2006. The situation echoes – if at a much lower volume – the recent and far-from-over controversy trailing the Michael Jackson-based musical Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough. Just this week, Vanessa Hudgens confirmed that she would take part in the first staged reading of the musical Notebook adaptation at Vassar and New York Stage & Film’s prestigious annual play development incubator called the Powerhouse. Others reportedly set to take part in the one-time-only reading on June 23 are Jelani Alladin, Nicholas Belton, Candy Buckley, Antonio Cipriano, Hailey Kilgore and James Naughton. Rent director Michael Greif will direct. (That news was broken by EW). The Daily Beast story details the legal battle between the hugely successful romance writer Sparks and Saul Benjamin, the former headmaster and CEO of the Epiphany School of Global Studies in New Bern, North Carolina. In emails obtained by the website, Sparks, whose many bestselling movie-fodder novels also include A Walk To Remember, expressed opinions that are sure to be unpopular, to put it mildly, in the Broadway theater community.

  • CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Behavior Changes In
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Behavior changes in everyday life are selfish behavior and behavior patterns and also close themselves to the surrounding community. Ignorance and ignorance are seen in people's lives or in big cities. Changing behavior in everyday life is a difficult process. Increasing physical activity is very challenging because there are many obstacles that inhibit physical activity and many influences that encourage immovable behavior. In everyday life behavior changes consist of external reactions of organisms to their environment, including aspects of psychology. Other psychological aspects, such as emotions, thoughts, and other internal mental processes, are not included in the category of behavior. Behavioral is involves movement and has an impact on the environment, Is influenced by environmental events. Behavioral is the range of actions and mannerisms made by individuals, organisms, systems, or artificial entities in conjunction with themselves or their environment, which includes the other systems or organisms around as well as the (inanimate) physical environment. It is the computed response of the system or organism to various stimuli or inputs, whether internal or external, conscious or subconscious, overt or covert, and voluntary or involuntary. Behavioral may be modified according to positive or negative reinforcements from the organism's environment or according to self-directed intentions. behavioral is largely determined by his or her theoretical framework. Behaviorists, such as John B. Watson, are famous for seeing behavior as the 'be all and end all' of psychology. Behaviorism considers behavior to be the only objective phenomenon of psychology and thus the only reliable information on which to base predictions of future behaviors.

  • 'The Notebook' Author Nicholas Sparks Hits Back at Claims He's
    ‘The Notebook’ Author Nicholas Sparks Hits Back At Claims He’s Homophobic And Racist uproxx.com/movies/the-notebook-nicholas-sparks-homophobic-racist-claims June 13, 2019 Good news: Nicholas Sparks is taking advantage of Broadway’s craze for movie adaptations by turning the popular romance The Notebook into a musical. Bad news: He’s also been accused of homophobia as well as racism. In a series of tweets, caught by Deadline, Sparks slammed these charges, claiming they’re untrue. On Thursday The Daily Beast dug up a long-going legal battle between the romance author — whose other works include A Walk to Remember, Message in a Bottle, and Dear John, all turned into movies — and the Epiphany School of Global Studies, a North Carolina prep school Sparks helped co-fund in 2006. In 2013 the institution received a new headmaster and CEO, Saul Benjamin, who tried to expand diversity and inclusivity. Sparks allegedly took umbrage with this approach. In a series of alleged emails, Sparks slammed Benjamin for adopting “an agenda that strives to make homosexuality open and accepted.” Sparks also allegedly made comments about the dearth of black students at the school, “too poor and can’t do the academic work.” Benjamin, who left the school after the tussle, sued Sparks and the fellow trustees for, among other things, defamation of character. A trial is set for August. Advertisement Following the article’s publication, Sparks took to social media to deny these claims. pic.twitter.com/y4nZX6TByD — Nicholas Sparks (@NicholasSparks) June 13, 2019 “Since 2014, I have vigorously been defending the lawsuit brought against me and the Epiphany School of Global Studies by its former headmaster, Saul Benjamin,” Sparks tweeted.

  • Take a Nicholas Sparks Tour of North Carolina's Brunswick Islands
    Take a Nicholas Sparks Tour of North Carolina’s Brunswick Islands Shallotte, NC (October 9, 2018) Romance loves can rejoice as Nicholas Sparks has announced his highly anticipated novel, “Every Breath” will be released to stores on October 16. Named one of USA Today’s “Top 20 Books of the Fall,” Sparks’ newest novel explores the whirlwind love story between North Carolinian, Hope Anderson and Tru Walls, a safari guide from Zimbabwe through the decades, continents and fate that follow a chance meeting in Sunset Beach, Brunswick Islands N.C. Sparks has stated that setting is a major aspect of his work, both in terms of natural and cultural environments and atmosphere. Every novel he has written since “The Notebook” has been set in North Carolina. He has claimed that this charming Southern state is the inspiration for his passionate, whirlwind romance novels as many of his books are set within the most picturesque towns and landmarks. Sparks latest novel is no different, it was inspired by his fascination with a Brunswick Islands hidden treasure, the Kindred Spirit Mailbox. Sparks like many others visited Sunset Beach, one of the 5 barrier island beaches in the area, seeking inspiration at a local receptacle for the hopes, dreams and innermost thoughts of those lucky enough to come across it. Located near the dunes, about a mile from the nearest public beach access point, lies the Kindred Spirit mailbox filled with journals to read and write whatever one’s heart desires; next to the mailbox is a bench for self-reflection. Planted by a Sunset Beach couple over 30 years ago, the mailbox belongs to both no one and everyone and encourages thousands of visitors to anonymously share their story with the universe each year.

  • Striving for Love Reflected in Adam Shankman's a Walk To
    STRIVING FOR LOVE REFLECTED IN ADAM SHANKMAN’S A WALK TO REMEMBER MOVIE (2002): AN INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACH RESEARCH PAPER Submitted as a Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Getting Bachelor Degree of Education in English Department by CHANDRA PUSPITA SARI A 320 060 093 ENGLISH DEPARTEMENT SCHOOL OF TEACHER TRAINING AND EDUCATION MUHAMMADIYAH UNIVERSITY OF SURAKARTA 2010 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Nowadays, there are many media delivering message to large audience. Film is a great media to deliver a message or idea, it explains to another aspect such as origin of history, love, city, life and others. It can not be ignored that film influences people to change the way of thinking. Films are cultural artifacts created by specific cultures, which reflect those cultures, and, in turn, affect them. Film is considered to be an important art form, a source of popular entertainment, and a powerful method for educating or indoctrinating citizens. The visual elements of cinema give motion pictures a universal power of communication; some movies have become popular worldwide attractions by using dubbing or subtitles that translate the dialogue. Basically, every human being has the same purpose of her or his life. They want to be happy and can life well with other. But in fact, parts of them consider that they are better than other. One of the examples of describing those conditions is reflected in the movie, A Walk to Remember, directed by Adam Shankman. Adam Shankman was born in Los Angeles, California USA, on November 27, 1964. A Walk to Remember is a 2002 romance film based on the 1999 romance novel with the same title by Nicholas Sparks.
