The method of claim 1, wherein identifying the video capture template includes:
providing a list of templates on the display; and
receiving input identifying the video capture template.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further includes, while capturing the video:
displaying, in substantially real-time, the video on the display device; and
overlaying, on the display device, at least a portion of the plurality of video capture directions.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the selecting the video capture direction is based upon determining that the video parameters of the captured video satisfy the target video parameters corresponding to the video capture direction.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the target video parameters include one of: an elapsed time and a time offset from a previous video capture direction.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the target video parameters include a desired position of an object appearing in the captured video.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein one of the plurality of target video parameters is an audio parameter.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein one of the plurality of video capture directions is an audio direction.

### Claim 11

A video capture device comprising:
a video processing and control module configured to:
identify a video capture template, the video capture template including a plurality of target video parameters, each of the target video parameters corresponding to one of a plurality of video capture directions;
while capturing video, select a video capture direction from the plurality of video capture directions based on video parameters of captured video and the plurality of target video parameters using a processor; and
a display module configured to: present the selected video capture direction to a user on a display device.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The video capture device of claim 11, wherein the display module is configured to present the selected video capture direction by at least overlaying a skeletal representation of an object appearing in the captured video, the skeletal representation providing orientation information to the user.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The video capture device of claim 12, wherein the overlaying the skeletal representation of the object includes transforming the skeletal representation of the object in accordance with at least one of the plurality of video capture directions.

### Claim 14 (depends on 11)

The video capture device of claim 11, wherein the video processing and control module is configured to identify the video capture template by at least:
providing a list of templates on the display through the display module; and
receiving input from an input module identifying the video capture template.

### Claim 15 (depends on 11)

The video capture device of claim 11, wherein the display module is further configured to, while capturing the video:
display, in substantially real-time, the video on the display device; and
overlay, on the display device, at least a portion of the plurality of video capture directions.

### Claim 16 (depends on 11)

The video capture device of claim 11, wherein the video processing and control module selects the video capture direction based upon determining that the video parameters of the captured video satisfy the target video parameters corresponding to the video capture direction.

### Claim 17 (depends on 11)

The video capture device of claim 11, wherein the target video parameters include one of: an elapsed time and a time offset from a previous video capture direction.

### Claim 18 (depends on 11)
