Udemy Improve Your Screenwriting with Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Learn to use AI to spark ideas, improve plotlines, enhance characters, and optimize your writing, editing and pitching.

Description​

This course is designed to help you understand how to use AI to improve your writing process.
From idea generation to presenting ideas to the industry, you’ll learn how to use AI to test ideas, give notes, bring characters to life, challenge assumptions, suggest alternatives, keep your writing fresh, and remove the hassle of pitches and emails.
With practical tips and real-world examples, you’ll understand how to use AI to write better scripts and improve your chances of success in the industry.
Your tutor, Stephen Follows, is a highly-regarded film industry analyst, screenwriter and expert in using AI to help screenwriters. He has a development deal (on WGA terms) with a working producer and is the co-host of the 'Authored by AI' podcast.
No experience is needed – we’ll take you right from “What is AI?” through to empowering you to use it in your writing the same day.

• Spark ideas. AI can help generate an endless supply of ideas for you to evaluate and develop, allowing you to stay in control and find the perfect seed of an idea for your project.
• Give notes. AIs are much better at providing insightful feedback than they are at actually screenwriting. So take advantage of this first-pass script editor to give you notes on your work and suggest areas for redrafting.
• Bring to life. You can imbue the AI with the features of your characters and engage them in conversation. The AI won’t write them as well as you, but they will add a dimension of reality as you chat with your creations.
• Challenge assumptions. AIs can provide new points of view, highlight plot holes and free you from pigeonholes you didn't even know you’re in.
• Suggest alternatives. AIs can generate a range of options for a given scene, so you can pick the best one and move on - no more spending hours in the writer’s room trying to come up with a better idea.
• Keep it fresh. AIs can suggest ways of subverting expectations and providing new aspects to well told stories. These notes and ideas will help speed up the process of ensuring your writing is always unique and fresh.
• Remove hassle. Many writers struggle with writing pithy pitches, tasty taglines or even enthusiastic emails to industry executives. Whatever parts of the process you don’t enjoy can be offloaded to AI for a first draft.

The course includes ready-made AI instructions that you can copy and paste in order to use straight away.
