1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
identifying a subset of segments of video content having attributes that match attributes of a user profile;
for each respective segment of the identified subset of segments, assigning a plot element label to the respective segment, wherein each plot element label corresponds to a plot element of a plurality of plot elements of the video content, and wherein the assigning comprises:
identifying, for each respective segment, an object type of an object that appears within the respective segment;
determining, for each respective segment, a timepoint associated with the respective segment in relation to a total runtime of the video content; and
determining the plot element label based at least in part on a relationship between the identified object type of the object and the determined timepoint in relation to the total runtime of the video content;

generating a trailer of the video content by arranging the segments of the subset of segments in order based on their respective assigned plot element labels; and
transmitting the trailer of the video content for display to a device associated with the user profile.
