In this paper, an automatic shooting method for face-to-face meeting scenes is proposed. Shooting a meeting scene requires multiple video cameras, and viewers may get confused when the shot switches between spatially distant video cameras. We introduce two filming languages - "imaginary line" and "camera triangle" - into an automatic shooting method. A prototype system is presented, and comparative experimental results demonstrate the benefits of our method.
