CINEMATIC FUTURES: THE IMPACT OF AI ON THE CINEMATOGRAPHY

Abstract

This article aims to explore the impact of artificial intelligence on cinema, specifically its transformative effects on the art form and contributions to cinematography. Artificial intelligence is expected to accelerate and improve the design process at various stages of film production, from screenwriting software to visual design, editing, music design, scoring, and visual effects. This will help the creative team aesthetically and speed up the film completion process, reducing the film budget. In the near future, it may be inevitable that cinematographers will use artificial intelligence in their creative process. This could include the use of AI to assist the aesthetics and methods established at the scripting stage, and composition, lighting, colour correction. This situation raises serious concerns about the artist's approach. This study aims to show how cinematographers can benefit from AI technology using the film The Announcement (2017) by director Mahmut Fazıl Coşkun as an example. The method of the study was determined as descriptive content analysis from qualitative research techniques. Since the cinematographic contribution of the cinematographer is to be compared with artificial intelligence in the film, a scene in which the art director, costume designer, and makeup artist cannot use their own original interpretation was specifically selected and processed. Since the film is an adaptation of a real story and reflects a real event, the decor, costume, and makeup really need to be done in accordance with that time, certain scenes of the film were selected and focused on the cinematographer's interpretation, and an attempt was made to recreate and evaluate the same scene using codes written for artificial intelligence.
