abstract = {The goal of this paper is to enable an objective understanding of gender portrayals
in popular films and media through multimodal content analysis. An automated system
for analyzing gender representation in terms of screen presence and speaking time
is developed. First, we perform independent processing of the video and the audio
content to estimate gender distribution of screen presence at shot level, and of speech
at utterance level. A measure of the movie's excitement or intensity is computed using
audiovisual features for every scene. This measure is used as a weighting function
to combine the gender-based screen/speaking time information at shot/utterance level
to compute gender representation for the entire movie. Detailed results and analyses
are presented on seventeen full length Hollywood movies.},
