About the Book
Artificial intelligence transforms cinema, reshaping how films are created, produced, and experienced by audiences. From enhancing visual effects and automating editing processes to creating realistic CGI characters and personalizing viewer recommendations, AI is revolutionizing every stage of filmmaking. Machine learning algorithms can analyze data to predict box office trends, optimize scripts, and assist in storyline development. AI-driven technologies like deepfake and voice synthesis push the boundaries of storytelling, offering filmmakers new creative possibilities, but often raise ethical considerations. As AI continues to evolve, further research may impact the cinematic landscape, enhancing the artistic and business aspects of the industry. Transforming Cinema with Artificial Intelligence is a comprehensive examination of the various applications of AI technologies in the cinema industry. It covers AI's role in scriptwriting, shooting processes, post-production, sound editing, film restoration, and marketing strategies, and details how these technologies are integrated into the film industry and their impact on creative processes and audience experience. This book covers topics such as digital technology, image generation, and user experience, and is a useful resource for business owners, producers, computer engineers, academicians, and researchers.
