SE: (Screen Exposure Index):
The SE (screen exposure) index is a way to rate how much of the movie is devoted to this star. There are two factors involved - on-screen time and character development. On-screen time is time that the star appears on the screen, either as a lead character or a supporting character. Character development is how well we get to know this character's thoughts, feelings, likes, dislikes, actions, etc. Note that personal like or dislike of the movie or of the character is not a factor.

0 - Unknown.

1 - Token appearance, 1 or 2 short scenes, no real character development.

2 - Minimal exposure. May be in multiple scenes, but generally as a background character. Minimal character development.

3 - Has several appearances as lead or supporting role, but total on-screen time is limited. Fair character development.

4 - Is in many scenes as a lead character, but total on-screen time is limited. Good character development.

5 - One of several main characters, story is about this person and others. High on-screen time and excellent character development.

6 - The primary character of the story. This character dominates the on-screen time. Superb character development.

Note that the total amount of on-screen time affects the rating. For example, the star may be a lead character in the movie, but may be on the screen for a limited time. This usually occurs where the star plays the younger character of the star in the movie. In cases like this, even though the star would technically rate a SE level 5 or 6, if the total amount of time on the screen is limited, then the SE rating is lowered accordingly. Thus, for example, if only 20% of the movie includes the star, then the SE rating would probably rate only 2 or 3.
