The rhetoric of the film" means the combination of the film techniques based on a film director's purpose.A system of computational film generation must include the rhetorical aspects.In this paper, we discuss using computational film creation as a type of rhetoric in our strategy for triggering a viewer's cognitive process.We especially consider the relationships between identical and different elements in shots of a film.Then, a system for film generation based on the classification of the rhetoric is proposed.The system generates various types of films according to a rhetorical strategy for intensity of cognitive effects.The generated films can cause intensive cognitive effects in a viewer.For example, one generated film using location as "different elements" can make viewers cause "resetting of a viewpoint" and "affect which is not arose by understanding the story, but by the audiovisual situation."This research corresponds to the aspect of non-story processing in a whole narrative generation mechanism which includes both aspects of story and non-story processing.
