Abstract

This paper describes the automatic creation of simple cinematic scenes and events that use film language (FL) as the basis for the creation of a visual story, aiming to improve its narrative. Taking a simple screenplay as our input, we generate relevant cinematic events and conditions using a film grammar. Our system, using a Knowledge-Base (KB) approach, generates the cinematic view of the story, providing 3D animation clips that correspond to the screenplay. A prototype under development is described, together with its applications and current status.
