Abstract

Visual focal point composition of media capture based on a target audience is provided. An aspect includes activating a profile selection function via a media recording device and receiving, via the profile selection function, an identifier of a target viewer of media content. The profile selection function provides a list of social network contacts, including the target viewer, via the media recording device. Another aspect includes retrieving contact preferences associated with the identifier. The contact preferences are determined from data about the target viewer that is sourced from one or more compartmentalized entities. The contact preferences identify focal aspects of media content statistically determined to be of interest by the target viewer. A further aspect includes providing suggested focal aspects of a scene subject to media capture. The suggested focal aspects are derived from the contact preferences.

A system for media capture comprising:

a media recording device;
and
a processor configured for:
activating a selection function on the media recording device;
receiving, via the selection function on a display component of the media recording device from a user, an identifier of a target viewer of media content, wherein the target viewer is a person with whom the user intends to share media captured by the media recording device;
retrieving preferences associated with the identifier from a computer-readable memory, the preferences identifying focal aspects of media content statistically determined to be of interest by the target viewer;
and
providing suggested focal aspects of a scene subject to media capture, the suggested focal aspects include a post media capture artistic effect derived from the preferences of the target viewer,
wherein the focal aspects of the scene are provided, via the display component of the media recording device, by a partial depression of a shutter button on the media recording device.
