AI writes the ‘perfect horror script’
    2016-08-03  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    There may be bad news for horror film writers — computers could soon be taking your job.

    A new independent horror film called “Impossible Things” has been produced in part by an artificial intelligence (AI)* tool. The creators have billed the film as the “scariest and creepiest horror film out there.”

    The tool analyzed audience response data to help the writers craft plot points that connect with viewer demand.

    The AI software was used to develop “perfect plot twists” for the film, which is about a grieving mother who, after the death of her daughter, is driven to insanity* by a supernatural being.

    The tool created a “specific” trailer that includes key scenes from the film.

    Jack Zhang, whose film company Greenlight Essentials is producing the film, said: “A little over 85 percent of movies made today don’t make a profit in box office, which is the result of a mismatch between the movies being produced and audiences’ tastes.”

    Zhang predicts that “Impossible Things” will be most popular with women under the age of 25.

    He added: “We used AI to generate the premise* and the key plot points of the film. Before a single word was written, our AI told us that if we wanted to match audience taste, we needed to make a horror film that featured both ghost and family relationships, and that a piano scene and a bathtub scene would need to be used in the movie trailer to increase the likelihood that our target audience would like it.”

    Greenlight Essentials have been working on the film for five years, and have a patent* pending on the analytical software used.(SD-Agencies)
