What is the course not about.
The course is not about teaching filmmaking using AI or providing step-by-step tutorials on creating films entirely driven by AI. Instead, it focuses on introducing participants to AI tools and technologies, demonstrating their utility and potential applications in various aspects of visual media production, such as pre-production, animation, and audience engagement. The primary objective is to foster awareness and inspire creative exploration rather than to replace traditional filmmaking techniques.
Additionally, the course does not intend to promote or endorse specific software or apps. To illustrate the application of AI in a particular aspect of visual media, the instructor may utilize commercial or free software/apps. Participants are encouraged to explore alternative software/apps with comparable functionalities.
The course does not delve into the debate on whether AI-generated films could replace human-made films, as its focus is on understanding AI tools used for enhancing creative processes in Visual Media.
