Abstract
Methods and apparatus for metadata-based cinematography, production effects, shot selection, and/or other content augmentation. Effective cinematography conveys storyline, emotion, excitement, etc. Unfortunately, most amateur filmmakers lack the knowledge and ability to create cinema quality media. Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed to, among other things, rendering media based on instantaneous metadata. Unlike traditional post-processing techniques that rely on human subjectivity, some of the various techniques described herein leverage the camera's actual experiential data to enable cinema-quality post-processing for the general consuming public. Instantaneous metadata-based cinematography and shot selection advisories and architectures are also described.
Claims20
A method of processing media, comprising:
- categorizing first media within a library of media content based on cinematic elements in the first media;
- generating metadata templates based on the first media within the library of media content;
- receiving second media content and sensor data;
- and
- providing a shot advisory based on the second media content, the sensor data, and the metadata templates.
A media-processing apparatus, comprising:
- a network interface;
- a user interface;
- digital processor apparatus in data communication with the network interface;
- and
- storage apparatus in data communication with the digital processor apparatus and having a non-transitory computer-readable media comprising one or more instructions which when executed by the digital processor apparatus, causes the media-processing apparatus to:
- categorize media within a library of media content based on one or more elements of cinematic language;
- generate metadata templates based on the categorizing the media;
- obtain media data and instantaneous metadata, the media data comprising audio data and video data;
- and
- provide a shot advisory based on the media data, the instantaneous metadata, and the metadata templates.
A media capture apparatus, comprising:
- a first sensor configured to capture media data;
- a second sensor comprising an inertial measurement unit and configured to record capture conditions of the first sensor;
- digital processor apparatus;
- and
- storage apparatus in data communication with the digital processor apparatus and having a non-transitory computer-readable media comprising one or more instructions which when executed by the digital processor apparatus, causes the media capture apparatus to:
- capture the media data;
- record the capture conditions of the first sensor;
- send the media data and the capture conditions;
- and
- obtain a status of the media data and the capture conditions meeting predetermined criteria.
