ai scriptwriting, easily generate short scripts with AI tool Kimi

I. What is a script?

Broad Definition of Script:

1. The script is the cornerstone of a movie or television production, providing structure and depth to the story.
2. It ensures plot coherence and is central to conveying themes and emotions.
3. The script serves as a guide for the production team, detailing scenes, characters, and dialog.

The Importance of Scripts in AI Short Films:

1. Even for AI shorts, scriptwriting is equally critical.
2. Scripts are vital for short films with a body of story that extends plot development and character growth.
3. The script helps the team clarify the goals and direction of the shoot and production.

II. Structure of playwriting

Script 5 Elements:

Separate scenes, characters, plot, dialog, visual elements

1. take: Imagine that your story is like a journey and the scene is the destination of the journey. It tells us where and when the story takes place and gives the audience a visual context. Just like choosing a travel location, the scene should be chosen in a way that sets the mood and plot of the story.
2. character (in a play, novel etc): Characters are the soul of the story, their actions and choices drive the story forward. Each character has their own story, personality, motivations and goals. Just like getting to know your friends, you need to get to know each character in depth to make them seem real and have depth in the story.
3. episodes: The plot is like the skeleton of the story, encompassing the beginning, development, conflict, climax and ending. A good plot needs to be logical, tight and powerful, making the story like a roller coaster that is both exciting and coherent.
4. dialogues: Dialogue is like a bridge between characters, it not only moves the story forward, but also shows the character's personality and emotions. The dialog should be natural and smooth, just like our usual chatting, and it should fit the character's personality as well as serve the whole story.
5. soundscape: Sound effects are like the spice of the story, including BGM, sounds of objects, ambient sounds, and so on. They enhance the aural effect of the story and help the audience build pictures in their minds, making the story more vivid and engaging.

Sample Script:

Once we understand these basic elements, we can look at the different types of short film scripts, and just like tasting different flavors of food, each script has its own unique flavor and charm.

The cue word used here is:

I need a 2 and a half minute long short script in the romance genre that focuses on a young school story with a male and female protagonist. The story is creative, the characters are simple, the plot is reversed, and the theme of love is expressed. The script needs to include the following structural elements: title: scene: characters: plot: dialog: sound effects:

Third, Kimi helped write the subplot

1、Split screen generation

We have mastered the art of how to craft a script outline and have a clear understanding of the essential elements of a script.

Now, we can use this outline to create a complete script with the aid of KIMI.

2. Script rewriting

After constantly interacting with KIMI, we can generate the approximate subplot, at which point we can then modify the script in some manual detail according to our own ideas, or of course, if KIMI generates a good one, we can leave it unchanged.

Here are some tips to determine if a screen shot is conducive to AI generation.

3. Rewriting skills

We have to figure out how the video time relates to the story content. For example, for a two-minute video, the story line has to be concise and clear:

[Opening - Development - Climax - Finale]. One or two plot points for each segment is about right. If the script is too rich and beyond the carrying capacity of the video, then you have to cut some parts appropriately.

We also need to be clear about how far we can go with the picture.

AI drawing has limitations right now, such as character consistency and range of motion. If the action in the script is too complex or there are too many characters, then it will be a headache to do the picture later. When this happens, the script has to be adjusted and simplified. Sometimes, it may be in the process of production only to realize that certain images can not be realized, then it is necessary to adjust according to the specific circumstances.

Try to minimize the length of the dialogue, because the longer the dialogue is, the more frames are needed, and if there is more dialogue and fewer frames, it may result in not enough frames. If there are more frames and less dialog, it doesn't matter, because there can be some shots without dialog, and this is fine. So, we have to consciously reduce the dialogues when we write the script and keep only those important dialogues.
