Narrative visualization system

According to one implementation, a narrative visualization system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a narrative visualization software code. The hardware processor is configured to execute the narrative visualization software code to receive multiple media files. For each of the media files, the hardware processor is further configured to execute the narrative visualization software code to parse the media file to identify a primary content and metadata describing the primary content, to analyze the metadata to determine representative features of the primary content, and to generate a visualization of the primary content based on the metadata and the representative features. The visualization depicts a temporal flow of the primary content in a story tune of the primary content in apposition to a temporal flow of the primary content in a narrative time of the primary content.
