1. A computer-implemented method for recording an event in a virtual world, comprising the steps of:
- acquiring camera view regions of avatars joining in the event;
identifying at least one key target based on information about the targets in the camera view regions of the avatars, the information about the targets in the camera view regions comprising at least one of frequencies, times and lengths of durations that the targets appear in the camera view regions; and
setting at least one recorder for the identified at least one key target for recording the event such that the at least one key target is located in the camera view regions of the at least one recorder.
