Abstract
Discovering content and stories in movies is one of the most important concepts in research studies. To consider how to efficiently determine the relationships between characters, we focus on the appearance of each character during movie play and analyze the characters' relationships to build a CoCharNet, a social network, to determine characters' relationships in a movie. In this paper, we propose an innovative method which extracts and analyzes characters' relationships based on social network measurement and evaluation.
