Ai script writer6/19/2023 ![]() You could put in a budget and theater count for your movie and attempt to predict profit or loss. I took genres, MPAA Ratings, box office, theater counts, major vs minor distributor, and some Movieguide codes for language, sex, nudity, and such, and compared submitted scripts to all movies going back to about 1985. I created a primitive version of such software myself, but lacked access to enough data to make it work to my satisfaction. Final Draft will probably give you a running box office or streaming value prediction of every draft you write. If not you won’t.Īrtificial intelligence will not just be available to studios. If a studio believes you’re a prime customer for a specific movie you’ll get bombarded with ads for it. In some cases, they get a record of how much you purchased in concessions. When you use an AMC or Regal card to get concession or ticket discounts they get a record of which movie you came to and how many tickets you bought. If you hit the jackpot and delight some studio’s autonomous script reader it will go up for human consideration accompanied by budget and casting suggestions and a box office estimate.īy 2030 artificial intelligence will predict not only how many people will see a movie considered for production, but who those people will be. It will even be able to help cast a project based on a budget. With really good artificial intelligence studios will get a report that budgets the scripts as well as gives audience projections. The only human work will be you hitting the submit button. Not a single human being will have to see or do anything. For a little higher fee you’ll get a detailed report from each studio’s artificial intelligence. In seconds you’ll learn if what you have to offer interests anyone. In the future imagine a service that for a fee will run your script through the artificial intelligence screeners at Disney, Netflix, Apple, Amazon, Sony, Paramount, and any other company looking for stories. A company could “look” at a million scripts in a day and provide script notes without paying a single salary. Netflix has a huge lead in gathering data, even on the product they leased from Disney and the others who are now preparing to start their own services.Īs audience behavior data increases and content recipes get refined, artificial intelligence can be used to read and pass up the line (or reject) submitted scripts. This is similar to the advantage Tesla has now in creating autonomous driving software, They have billions of miles of data from actual customers driving their cars. The services with the largest subscriber base will have the most data available for writing the best recipes. They’ll have recipes for international success and recipes for pleasing niche markets. What humans get are the resulting reports.īy 2030 the detail available in their reports will be astounding. They can do all this without a single human being making any effort. ![]() They can see how often you do that before unsubscribing. They can see if you came to their site looking for something to watch and left disappointed. ![]() ![]() They can see what web page you looked at, what you watched a preview for, what you chose to watch, and for how long. ![]() Streaming service providers can see what’s attracting and keeping subscribers. The data they gather from subscribers will determine what scripts you can sell and what elements should be in your stories. Like Google, media producers will make profits by getting to know more and more about you. It’s a fundamental shift in the role of media production companies made possible by artificial intelligence. This is not just about another new form of distribution and a boom in content creation. It will be for those who enjoy something historical.Īs a screenwriter, you need to realize your world is being transformed even now by the artificial intelligence capabilities of Netflix and all those rapidly gearing up to compete. Musk says that by 2040 cars with steering wheels will be like people riding horses today. This requires artificial intelligence capable of observing and reacting like a driver does today- only better. Artificial intelligence is radically changing the world and it will RADICALLY change screenwriting.Įlon Musk predicts that over half the cars sold in 2030 will be autonomous. ![]()
