Automavision is a cinematic technique invented by Danish director Lars von Trier. Developed with the intention of limiting human influence, in Automavision no cinematographer is actively operating the camera. The best possible fixed camera position is chosen and then a computer chooses framing by randomly tilting, panning or zooming the camera. In doing so it is not uncommon that the actors appear in the shots with a part of their face and head cut from the frame. With this technique then the blame for any "errors" are entirely attributable to a computer.

  • Automavision is a cinematic technique invented by Danish director Lars von Trier. Developed with the intention of limiting human influence, in Automavision no cinematographer is actively operating the camera. The best possible fixed camera position is chosen and then a computer chooses framing by randomly tilting, panning or zooming the camera. In doing so it is not uncommon that the actors appear in the shots with a part of their face and head cut from the frame. With this technique then the blame for any "errors" are entirely attributable to a computer. Von Trier described Automavision as "a principle for shooting film developed with the intention of limiting human influence by inviting chance in from the cold (...) and thus giving the work an idea-less surface free of the force of habit and aesthetics." The principle was used during filming of the movie The Boss of It All (2006). Interviewed by The Guardian in 2006, von Trier said, "For a long time, my films have been handheld. That has to do with the fact that I am a control freak. With Automavision, the technique was that I would frame the picture first and then push a button on the computer. I was not in control — the computer was in control." And in a 2008 interview with The Daily Telegraph, von Trier said "If you want bad framing, Automavision is the perfect way to do it. It was rather pleasant to lose control. In this case, I wanted to lose control 100 per cent." (en)

Il primo regista a far uso di questo metodo di ripresa è il regista danese Lars von Trier (fondatore del Dogma 95) che lo ha utilizzato per il film Il grande capo. (it)

Istället för en kameraman används en dator för att bestämma när kameran skall zooma, tilta eller panorera. Tekniken är enligt Trier ett sätt för regissören att släppa sitt kontrollbehov. Automavision, och även von Trier själv, parodierades flitigt i den medialt uppmärksammade svenska webbserien "" från 2017. I serien stjäl fiktiviserade versioner av regissören Ruben Östlund och producenten Erik Hemmendorff Lars von Triers hemliga artificiella intelligens Automavision, i ett hopp om att den ska kunna hjälpa dem bli kvitt sin idétorka.
