How to Use ChatGPT’s A.I. to Write Screenplays
7 Ways to leverage the power of artificial intelligence to 3x your creative brainstorming.
--
What happens when you ask artificial intelligence to write a movie idea or screenplay outline? In this video, I use Notion and ChatGPT to brainstorm loglines, create characters, and write plot synopses. Here’s a screenwriter’s take on ChatGPT & Artificial Intelligence. This video is also a guide for how screenwriters can use A.I. for brainstorming and even beat writer’s block:
Notion AI Assist
Before diving into ChatGPT, I decided to start with a tool I’m much more familiar with: Notion. I use Notion to organize my life, so when Notion announced alpha testing for its artificial intelligence feature, I had to give it a try.
I was able to use Notion to:
- Help Me Write a Logline
- Continue Writing a Story
- Brainstorm Plot Points
- Outline a Script
Unfortunately, it’s only available on desktop, so I can’t use Notion’s AI Assist to write on my phone. Still, it’s a helpful tool.
Now, onward to the newest AI tend:
ChatGPT AI
I was a bit skeptical about ChatGPT’s abilities, but after testing it, I think I’ll continue to use this tool in the future. You can use it like I did for:
- Character Creation
- Movie Ideas/Synopsis
- Screenplay Outlines
Finally, I decided to take an idea from one AI and feed it to another.
Notion AI + ChatGPT
I call this AI collaborative writing! As you can see in the video, it’s a bit of a process to feed ideas from one articificial intelligence to another, so I may not have them “co-write” in the future. Still, I’m glad I tried using Notion and Chat GPT for my screenwriting, and I hope you do too!
Makes you wonder, though…how will AI affect screenwriters in the future?
