The invention discloses a method for identifying a montage language narrative structure. The method comprises: cutting film video information according to clips, to obtain video clip information blocks; extracting a first plot group and a second plot group; when the number of the first plot group and the second plot group is equal to zero, film video information using a continuous montage language; when the number of the first plot group and the second plot group is larger than zero, calculating plot similarity of the first plot group and the second plot group, when the plot similarity is lower than or equal to a second threshold, using a parallel montage language; when the plot similarity is larger than the second threshold and is not equal to a third threshold, using a cross montage language; when the plot similarity is larger than a third threshold, using a repeating montage language. The method improves efficiency for identifying a montage language narrative structure.
