THIS IS AI-FIRST FILMMAKING
AI runs through the production pipeline.
This is not a conventional filmmaking course followed by an AI module. Filmmaking fundamentals teach students what creative decisions to make. Generative AI becomes the primary production environment for turning those decisions into stories, characters, worlds, shots, performances, voices, music and finished films.

DETAILED COURSE FLOW
5 learning modules
Create a complete film primarily through Generative AI—from story and visual design to controlled shots, performances, sound, editing and release.
AI Story Development, Screenplay & Production Design
Turn an idea into a generation-ready screenplay, visual system and production plan.
CORE TOPICS
- Premise, theme, short-film structure and AI-assisted ideation
- Compare story directions; develop scenes, screenplay and dialogue
- Character, costume, location and production-design bibles
- AI visual references, duration, formats and production planning
- Visual bible and generation-ready screenplay breakdown
HOW AI CHANGES THIS STAGE
AI becomes a creative development partner. Students test directions, build the story world and prepare every scene for controlled generation.
CURRENT WORKING TOOL STACK
ChatGPT · Claude · Gemini · Nano Banana · Midjourney / OpenArt
GUIDED PRACTICE
Generate and compare concepts, rewrite scenes and convert the selected screenplay into prompts, references and production documents.
MODULE DELIVERABLE
Screenplay, visual bible and AI production plan
AI Storyboarding, Characters & Visual Continuity
Create reusable visual anchors so the film feels connected rather than assembled from unrelated clips.
CORE TOPICS
- Shot sizes, lenses, composition, lighting and colour
- AI character, environment and production-design development
- Character, costume and location consistency
- AI storyboards, shot planning and reference-image workflows
- First-frame, last-frame and repeatable keyframe systems
HOW AI CHANGES THIS STAGE
AI is used to solve continuity before video generation. The visual system becomes the control layer for every later shot.
CURRENT WORKING TOOL STACK

GUIDED PRACTICE
Build stable characters, locations, costumes, styles and keyframes before motion generation begins.
MODULE DELIVERABLE
Continuity-led storyboard and keyframe package
Generative AI Cinematography & Performance
Move from prompting AI to directing cinematic shots, movement and performance.
CORE TOPICS
- Text-to-video, image-to-video and reference-to-video
- First-frame / last-frame generation and cinematic prompting
- Camera movement, subject blocking and controlled motion
- Facial performance, expression, dialogue and lip-sync
- Shot extension, variations, repair and weak-generation refinement
- Continuity between shots and complete AI-generated scenes
HOW AI CHANGES THIS STAGE
Students learn to direct AI—not merely prompt it. The target is a controlled cinematic sequence with connected shots and intentional performance.
CURRENT WORKING TOOL STACK
Google Veo / Flow · Runway · Kling · Seedance · Higgsfield · PixVerse
GUIDED PRACTICE
Direct camera, subject movement, expression and performance through the most suitable generation method, then compare and repair versions.
MODULE DELIVERABLE
Finished continuity-led AI cinematic scene
AI Editing, Voice, Music & Sound Design
Turn generated shots into a paced, picture-locked and mixed film sequence.
CORE TOPICS
- Picture editing, AI-assisted assembly, pacing and transitions
- Continuity refinement, colour correction and finishing
- AI voice casting, generation, cleanup, replacement and dubbing
- Generative music, background score, ambience and sound effects
- Titles, captions, graphics, mastering and export
HOW AI CHANGES THIS STAGE
AI continues through post-production. The working route is generated shots → edited sequence → finished film.
CURRENT WORKING TOOL STACK
ElevenLabs · Suno · Adobe / Firefly tools · CapCut · DaVinci Resolve
GUIDED PRACTICE
Create and refine voices, dialogue, music and sound while using editing principles to assemble the generated material into a finished sequence.

CORE TOPICS
- AI-assisted revision and continuity fixes
- Poster, key art, trailer, teasers and social cut-downs
- Alternate formats, credits, AI-tool disclosure and rights checks
- Showreel, case study and screening presentation
- Final AI short film and complete release package
HOW AI CHANGES THIS STAGE
AI supports both completion and release: repairs, promotional imagery, trailers, teasers and alternate versions are produced from the same creative system.

HOW THE TRAINING WORKS
Learn it. Apply it. Get it reviewed. Improve it.
Every important skill moves through explanation, demonstration, guided use and independent application. Trainer feedback is used to revise the work before it becomes part of the final portfolio.
Concept briefing
The trainer explains the principle, use case, limitations and the quality standard expected.
Live demonstration
A complete task is demonstrated while the trainer explains decisions, checks and common mistakes.
Guided lab
Learners repeat the method with support, ask questions and correct problems during the session.
Applied assignment
The same method is used on a different brief so the learner must make independent decisions.
Review and revision
Work is checked against a rubric, revised after feedback and prepared for project presentation.
