Auteur is a language‑driven method that generates human‑centric camera framing for generative video models. It treats shots as framings relative to an actor, encoding shot size, angle, and composition as functions of human pose and motion, and uses a domain‑specific language that converts to standard 6‑DoF camera parameters. A fine‑tuned multimodal large language model acts as a virtual director, mapping natural language descriptions and coarse human motion to sparse DSL keyframes that are interpolated into continuous camera trajectories for video generation.

arXiv:2606. 24636v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cinematographic captioning aims to describe how a video is filmed using professional film-language concepts such as camera movement, shot size, depth of field, composition, and shooting angle.
arXiv:2606. 13768v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cinematic video depicts multiple subjects acting or interacting at specific moments, captured with deliberate camera movement, and stitched together by shot transitions.
CinematicVQA is a new benchmark for evaluating large vision‑language models on film‑grammar reasoning. It introduces the Cinematic Scene Graph, a structured representation linking filming techniques to perceptual effects and narrative functions, and tests models on tasks beyond low‑level technique recognition. The study finds a semantic gap where models excel at describing visuals but struggle to identify underlying techniques, and shows that fine‑tuning improves performance on narrative function and multi‑hop reasoning.
Short dramas, with their rapid shot rhythms, dialogue-driven focus shifts, and demanding cinematographic grounding, pose challenges that prompt-level or text-only video generation pipelines struggle to meet. We study plot-to-short-drama generation, where a global plot and local context are transformed into visually grounded multi-shot videos.
