Abstract

Films have been themost entertaining art form during the past century. Sometimes they were inspired in written novels; sometimes they have inspired new written novels. Film scripts are halfway between the film in the screen and the pure world of written imagination. Real time is one of the dimensions lost in the script, breaking the anchors to the time signals of what films are made. This paper presents a full approach for merging these two worlds in the real time dimension. Using subtitles time stamping and a new parallel text alignment algorithm, a time stamped script is produced. This is used to create new enriched narrative films, also presented in the paper.
