Abstract

This paper proposes an intelligent cinematography director for plot-based storytelling systems. The role of the director is to select in real-time the camera shots that best fit for the scenes and present the content in an interesting and coherent manner. Director's knowledge is represented with a collection of support vector machines (SVM) trained to solve cinematography problems of shot selection. With this work we introduce the use of support vector machines, applied as an artificial intelligence method, in a storytelling director. This approach also can be extended and applied in games and other digital entertainment applications.
