Introduction to AI-Generated Filmmaking and Auteur Aesthetic Styles

Abstract

This paper explores the intersection of auteur-driven filmmaking and artificial intelligence in short film production. Currently, AI faces the challenge of how to facilitate the migration of renowned directors' unique cinematic styles into AI-generated short films, and whether these stylistic techniques evolve or remain unchanged. While AI holds significant potential to replicate or even innovate upon an auteur’s cinematic visual language, the migration of film aesthetics presents both opportunities and challenges. A key issue lies in the tension between the highly personalized and subjective nature of an auteur's creative style and the technical, algorithmic nature of AI-generated content. Through examining the current state of AI in filmmaking, this paper analyzes the capabilities and limitations of AI technologies and their impact on the migration of film styles. The findings aim to foster discussions on the future development of AI in filmmaking and to redefine traditional filmmaking practices.
