Systems and methods for generating content for a screenplay

A system comprising:

• communications circuitry configured to access a document from a database;
• and
• control circuitry configured to:
• in response to identifying a first instance of a name in a document:
• extract a first text of the document positioned between the identified first instance of the name and an instance of a different name in the document;
• generate a time-based content structure comprising an object in an attribute table, wherein the object corresponds to the name;
• modify the time-based content structure to add a first temporal mapping to the object that corresponds to the name, wherein the first temporal mapping indicates that a first attribute applies to the object for a duration of a first time period, wherein the first attribute is based on the first text;
• in response to identifying a second instance of the name in a document:
• extract a second text of the document positioned between the identified second instance of the name and an instance of a different name in the document;
• modify the time-based content structure, to add a second temporal mapping to the object that corresponds to the name, wherein the second temporal mapping indicates that a second attribute applies to the object for a duration of a second time period, wherein the second attribute is based on the second text;
• and
• generate for output a content segment based on the time-based content structure, wherein the content segment includes one or more of image content, video content, and audio content based on referencing the first and second mappings and applying the first and second attributes to the object during the first and second time periods.
