Filmic space-time diagrams for video structure representation

Parkes, Alan P.; Butler, Sean; Parkes, Alan P

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to computer representation for interactive film editing. We describe a prototype system developed at Lancaster which uses this approach, and show how such a system supports film editing. Our work involves the isolation of several principles of filmicity and the combination of these with an event structure and film grammar to produce a system which can intelligently edit a film. Filmic principles are rules which can be used when editing a film to produce a sequence which guarantees a smooth perception of the film in its entirety. The visual structure representation method discussed herein is a tool used in our research.
