Artificial intelligence(AI) has shown competence across various fields,but matching human creativity remains hard to achieve.However,companies like StoryFit are using AI in a much novel way,particularly in the film industry,where it is changing greatly how scripts are developed,and stories are told.
Initially,Monica Landers,founder and CEO of StoryFit,used AI technology to aid publishers in narrowing down their “slush piles”(未处理的文稿) to a shortlist of promising books.However,StoryFit found the publishing industry’s growth potential insufficient and targeted the film industry instead.Consequently,it has become the force behind several successful films in recent years.
Primarily,StoryFit analyzes a script’s marketability(市场潜力),assessing where a story fits with the audience and how each storytelling element connects with audiences.The film industry is high-risk,with considerable investments required before generating returns.StoryFit provides data on whether those risks are likely to be fruitful.StoryFit’s AI technology checks character qualities to evaluate audience responses,determining how heroic or relatable a main character might be.This information allows creative professionals to identify potential character imbalances.
Beyond marketability,StoryFit also analyzes audience connections to the storyline,offering insights into aspects such as the audience’s emotional journey throughout an episode or the impact of a favorite character’s departure.The company also reports on plot inconsistencies,such as characters behaving consistently with their established qualities or disappearing from the storyline.Nevertheless,Landers emphasizes that their role is to draw inspiration from the data rather than comment on the script.She stated,“You have people whose whole careers are based on making those decisions.But we can be a technology voice that helps them to shine a light on what’s happening or not happening in the script.”
Using AI technology like StoryFit in the film industry shows artificial intelligence’s potential to enhance storytelling.As the technology advances,its impact on the film industry will only grow,paving the way for more engaging and resonant cinematic experiences.
5.What caused StoryFit to shift its focus from publishing to films?
A.The financial difficulties of publishing.
B.The limited future of publishing.
C.The decreasing customer base of publishing.
D.The lack of AI competence in publishing.
6.According to Landers,what is StoryFit’s role in script analysis?
A.A data-driven advisor.
B.A decision-maker.
C.A marketing specialist.
D.A content developer.
7.What is the author’s attitude toward the application of AI in the film industry?
A.Unclear. B.Supportive.
C.Objective. D.Negative.
8.What is the best title for the passage?
A.AI’s Failure to Match Human Creativity
B.StoryFit:A Great Company Leading the Film Industry
C.AI Transforms Script Development in Film
D.The Challenges of AI in High-Risk Industries
