Patterns is a set of vocabulary, which was inspired by professional film practice and textbook terminology. The vocabulary allows one to define recurrent stylistic constraints on a sequence of shots, which we term ''embedded constraint pattern'' (ECP). In our previous work, we proposed a solver that allows us to search for occurrences of ECPs in annotated data, and showed its use in automated analysis of story and emotional elements of film. This work implements a new solver that interactively propose framing compositions from an annotated database of framings that conform to the user-applied ECPs. We envision this work to be incorporated into tools and interfaces for 3D environments in the context of film pre-visualisation, film or digital arts education, video games, and other related applications in film and multimedia.I.3.7 [Computer Graphics]Three Dimensional Graphics and RealismAnimationI.2.10 [Artificial Intelligence]Vision and Scene UnderstandingVideo Analysis10.2312/wiced.2017107663-70
