In the previous post I showed how we can use Mathematica<\/strong> to analyse screenplays, and gave some interesting statistics about the various characters and scenes from the movie The Prestige<\/strong><\/em>. In today\u2019s post, I want to continue that discussion by sharing some more statistics, and then look at another movie, The Bourne Ultimatum<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

We concluded last post by showing the number of dialogs for some of the lead characters in The Prestige<\/strong><\/em>. Today, let us start by looking at the number of scenes in which the lead characters appear (in descending order):<\/p>\n

\"Characters<\/a>
Characters vs. Scenes<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It is interesting that the top seven entries in the table are the same as in the Dialogs<\/strong><\/em><\/a> table. For instance, ANGIER<\/strong><\/em> appears in 79 scenes and mouths 286 dialogs. Let us calculate the ratio of the number of dialogs to the number of scene appearances.<\/p>\n

\"Dialog-Scene<\/a>
Dialog-Scene Ratio<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We see that OWENS<\/strong><\/em> has a ratio of 10.33, the largest in the table. This is because, despite appearing in barely 3 scenes, he delivers 31 dialogs. He is followed by OLIVIA<\/strong><\/em>, with a ratio of 5.7 (97 dialogs over 17 scenes).<\/p>\n

Next, let us sort the various scenes with respect to the number of characters appearing in a scene. See the table below.<\/p>\n

\"Characters<\/a>
Characters in Scenes<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We can see that scenes 16, 27, 82, 91, 158, and 186 all have 4 characters appearing in them, followed by many scenes with 3 characters (this table is incomplete). Are there scenes with no character appearances? Yes.<\/p>\n

\"Scene<\/a>
Scene Characters (Contd.)<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Such scenes typically have action descriptions.<\/p>\n

OK, now let us look at a different movie – The Bourne Ultimatum<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

The following table shows the number of dialogs spoken by the main characters.<\/p>\n

\"Character<\/a>
Character Dialogs<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And here is the number of scenes where the characters make an appearance:<\/p>\n

\"Character<\/a>
Character Scenes<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here also we see the top 5 elements to be the same in both tables. Let us also calculate the ratio of dialogs to scenes.<\/p>\n

\"Ratio<\/a>
Ratio of Scenes to Dialogs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Compared to The Prestige<\/strong><\/em>, the dialogs-to-scene values are comparatively less. This could be because The Prestige<\/strong><\/em><\/a> is a Drama<\/strong> according to IMDB<\/strong>\u00a0whereas The Bourne Ultimatum<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0is an Action<\/strong> movie.<\/p>\n

Finally, the number of characters appearing in different scenes:<\/p>\n

\"Scenes<\/a>
Scenes vs. Characters<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Again, we see that there are scenes that have even 5 or 6 characters, whereas the maximum in The Prestige<\/strong><\/em> was just 4. Not sure if this is related to the genre of movies. Further investigation might reveal interesting insights.<\/p>\n

While it is very tempting to study the scripts even further from a computational point of view, I would like to stop here. If I dig into this some more, I will be happy to share the data with you all.<\/p>\n

Here<\/a> is the updated Mathematica source file.<\/p>\n

Have a great day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
