Identification of key events in a narrative (such as movie or TV episode). The task is supported by screenwriting theory, according to which there are 5 different types of key events in a movie. These key events (e.g., change of plans, major setback, climax) are crucial narrative moments: they define the plot structure and determine its progression and thematic units (e.g., setup, complications, aftermath).
