Specific
Create a film, compromised of three parts and an opening sequence, that explores the strength and potential dangers of artificial intelligence and the power of the unrefined human spirit.
Measurable
Completion of scripts, show filming, and final cuts that successfully capture the relevant themes and ideas. Most important is the quality of the final film some selves and there success in capturing the themes.
Actionable
write scripts, produce the films, film the films, edit, sound design, and colour grade the films. write scripts, produce the films, film the films, edit, sound design, and colour grade the films. Each of the steps for each film is its own action and requires its own care and consideration.
Relevant
The most important parts of this project are the opening sequence, which uses AI tools to give context to the films, and the final film, which will most directly explore the themes of artificial intelligence. As such, I will begin working on the opening sequence first, and should I find the first two films taking too long, I will put them aside and focus on the final film.
Also relevant, is the artistic quality of the finished films. They are pieces of art that should be charged above all else own artistic merit.
Timebound
This is largely covered in my Gantt chart, but in summary, I plan on shooting the first two films and making the opening sequence in the first six weeks, leaving me the second six weeks to shoot the final film. I will also focus my research and thesis work in the first half of the project.
