Paper Abstract:	The expressiveness and possible impact on the viewer are some of the most important characteristics in order to film a cinema scene. However, it is quite rare to see this kind of features in the different approaches of automatic Camera Management Systems in virtual environments. The diverse studies that have used in some way cinematographic techniques are more focused on their geometrical aspects, or on how to avoid the occlusion with other scene objects, rather than in the emotive aspect of it. Another fundamental issue is how to obtain the needed information for this task. Frequently, this information is acquired in a previous evaluation of the scene, or generating templates associated to the characters actions in the virtual environment. This work presents a prototype of an automatic Camera Management System focused on the emotive aspect of the cinematographic techniques. It uses different methods of Natural Language Processing over the story script to obtain the necessary information to manage the virtual cameras correctly. The prototype is evaluated and compared with real scenes for the validation.
