“…Automated and interactive camera placement is a well-addressed problem [Christie et al 2008] and proposed solving strategies are largely problem-dependent. First a number of camera specification languages have been proposed [Bares et al 2000;Van Rijsselbergen et al 2009], in particular the Prose Storyboard Language (PSL) [Ronfard et al 2013]. Designed for both annotating movies and placing cameras, the PSL describes general absolute and relative cinematographic properties.…”

Research in virtual cinematography often narrows the problem down to computing the optimal viewpoint for the camera to properly convey a scene's content. In contrast we propose to address simultaneously the questions of placing cameras, lights, objects and actors in a virtual environment through a high-level specification. We build on a staging language and propose to extend it by defining complex temporal relationships between these entities. We solve such specifications by designing pruning operators which iteratively reduce the range of possible degrees of freedom for entities while satisfying temporal constraints. Our solver first decomposes the problem by analyzing the graph of relationships between entities and then solves an ordered sequence of sub-problems. Users have the possibility to manipulate the current result for fine-tuning purposes or to creatively explore ranges of solutions while maintaining the relationships. As a result, the proposed system is the first staging-and-shooting cinematography system which enables the specification and solving of spatio-temporal cinematic layouts.

“…The MOVIE AUTHORING AND DESIGN SYSTEM (MAD) [30], for example, uses a story-board style system, where the author may attach images, sound, music or even video to their scene description. The detailed structure of the MOVIE SCRIPT MARKUP LANGUAGE (MSML) aimed to capture all aspects of a movie script [31]. Within this structure, a movie script is divided into four main components: scene, manufacturing, timing and animation.…”

“…This may be grounded within concepts from narrative theory, as we have attempted in Figure 1, but also with concepts developed within the research community (relations, character/author goals, etc.). We identified several examples which use markup languages, such as the scenario markup language from OPENENERGYSIM [83] or the MOVIE SCRIPT MARKUP LANGUAGE [31] and there exist workshops dedicated to further exploring various models of narrative [101], all of which provide interesting approaches to the problem of finding a standard model for narrative. It may, however, be more fitting to see how to create models of narratives for specific applications.…”

Computers are often used as tools to design, implement and even visualize a variety of narrative forms. Many researchers and artists are now further attempting to engage the computer actively throughout the development of the narrative itself. Any form of computational narrative authoring is at some level always mixed-initiative, meaning that the processing capabilities of the computer are utilized with a varying degree to automate certain features of the authoring process. We structure this survey by focusing on two key components of stories, plot and space, and more specifically the degree to which these are either automated by the computer or authored manually.By examining the successes of existing research, we identify potential new research directions in the field of computational narrative. We also identify the advantages of developing a standard model of narrative to allow for collaboration between plot and space automation techniques. This would likely benefit the field of automated space generation with the strengths in the field of automated plot generation.

“…Our proposal is complementary to the Movie Script Markup Language (MSML) [23], which encodes the structure of a movie script. In MSML, a script is decomposed into dialogue and action blocks, but does not describe how each block is translated into shots.…”

The prose storyboard language is a formal language for describing movies shot by shot, where each shot is described with a unique sentence. The language uses a simple syntax and limited vocabulary borrowed from working practices in traditional movie-making, and is intended to be readable both by machines and humans. The language is designed to serve as a high-level user interface for intelligent cinematography and editing systems.
