1. An information processing apparatus connected to at least one image capture apparatus configured to capture subjects, the information processing apparatus comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more memories storing executable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the information processing apparatus to function as:
a first obtaining unit configured to obtain situation information representing a situation of image capturing, wherein the situation information includes at least information on a category of content;
a second obtaining unit configured to obtain composition information representing image composition requested for image capturing in the situation, based on the situation information, wherein the composition information includes information on an image capturing area of a subject, and information on a range of an angle of the at least one image capture apparatus relative to the subject;
a third obtaining unit configured to obtain a parameter of the at least one image capture apparatus, wherein the parameter of the at least one image capture apparatus includes a position of the at least one image capture apparatus and an area in which the at least one image capture apparatus is movable; and
a generating unit configured to generate arrangement information representing a proposed arrangement of an image capture apparatus that performs image capturing in the situation, based on the composition information and the parameter.
