Claim One:
1. A method of automated videography, in which video images of at least one subject in a local environment are acquired using an automated videography system, comprising: capturing video images with the automated videography system using one or more cameras during a videography event of one or more video scenes which involve a first subject and the local environment; applying current video capture settings which define subject framing within a selected shot, and camera parameters; analyzing the video images of a current video scene to assess image quality relative to changes in subject activity and current subject framing; determining a need to change subject framing to improve video image quality based on the assessment of image quality; determining whether the changes in subject activity, relative to the subject framing, correspond to an intra-scene transition or an inter-scene transition; determining new subject framing and new video capture settings for a scene-transition, whether intra-scene or inter-scene; and automatically modifying ongoing video image capture in accordance with the newly determined video capture settings.
