movienetdata: A data package for character interactions in popular films.

Description

This package contains character interaction data for 30 popular films, detailed below. The package is designed to play well with the charinet package for character interaction network analysis (under development), but the data can be used for any purpose.

Details

The films for which data is available in this package include:

• the first 18 films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (from Iron Man (2008) to Black Panther (2018));

• the 4 films in The Hunger Games series (2012-2015);

• the 3 Tomb Raider films, including the two Lara Croft: Tomb Raider films (2001-2003) as well as the 2018 reboot;

• 5 miscellaneous other films (Frozen (2013), The Breakfast Club (1985), Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015), Alien (1979), and Wonder Woman (2017).

For full details of the films included in the package, run

  data(package = "movienetdata")

or consult the ?help page for each dataset.

Individual films can be loaded into the workspace like so:

  data(mcu01_ironman, package = "movienetdata")

Or by assigning them directly:

  iron_man <- movienetdata::mcu01_ironman
