Film and AI training · Program outline
Cine con IA
A proposed program in writing, directing, filming, AI generation, editing and sound.
Film exercises, AI experiments, editing and feedback on the finished work.
A short course built around one completed piece and individual review.
Local places, stories and production experience are part of the curriculum.
Work on performance, continuity, sound, editing and permission to use material.
About the program
Learn through a complete production.
The curriculum connects film exercises with AI experiments, editing, sound and review. Students document how they made each piece and what they changed.
Primer Corte is the proposed short-course pilot. Contact Alan to discuss the format, teaching arrangements and availability.
The process
From an idea to a finished piece.
Idea
Choose a subject or situation to develop.
Scene
Write an action that can be filmed and define its point of view.
Test
Try the scene with actors, still images, sound or generative tools.
Edit
Watch the complete scene and identify what needs to change.
Revision
Make a specific correction and compare the result.
Delivery
Submit the finished piece, project files, permissions and production notes.
Areas of study
Film, AI and production.
Writing, camera, performance, editing, sound and critical review.
Models, references, generation, quality checks and records of each experiment.
Permissions, budgets, roles, files, delivery and distribution.
Production examples
Places, scenes and references.
Material from La Casita, ClueQuest and film productions provides examples for studying locations, direction, continuity and editing.

Film and AI foundations
Study film language, write a short scene, direct an action and compare what AI tools can do.
A short sequence, a sound exercise, a script and a record of the tools tested.Directing with generative tools
Use references and clear instructions to control images, movement and continuity.
A visual guide, a generated sequence and three versions of the same scene: filmed, generated and combined.Combined film and AI production
Plan, shoot, edit, compose, mix sound and finish a collaborative piece.
A production breakdown, a risk assessment, an edited scene, a sound mix and editable project files.Specialization and final project
Develop a production role and finish a piece with its supporting records.
A finished film, production notes, permissions, a portfolio entry and an individual presentation.Scroll sideways to see all columns.

- Identify each student’s contribution to group work.
- Teach skills that remain useful when tools change.
Working method
Make, watch and revise.
- Observe a situation, sound, gesture or place.
- Decide what changes in the scene and what the audience should understand.
- Set limits for time, shots, locations and tools.
- Rehearse or test with actors, still images, sound or AI.
