Dialogue clean-up
- AI tools separate voices from noise and clean dialogue. They can also remove breaths and room tone the mixer needs. Keep the original.
- The dialogue editor and re-recording mixer listen to every line on good speakers before it's approved.
Generative video today
- Good for previs, pitch films, mood, abstract and stylised shots, and some backgrounds.
- Harder: continuity across many shots, hands and faces under scrutiny, exact performances, and anything that must match a real location.
- Rights and consent: check the tool's terms, keep prompts and versions, and never base a character on a real person's face or voice without consent.
Credit and labels
- Credit the people who directed, made and checked the work, and label generated shots.

Watch the films to open the check.
Do
Generate or shoot? · 20 minutes
For each shot, say generate, shoot or both, and why.
1. A dream sequence of colours and shapes. 2. A close-up of the lead crying. 3. A pitch film showing the mood of a sci-fi city. 4. A wide of a real London street in the 1970s for a period drama.
How it's marked
- 1 Generate (stylised)
- 2 Shoot (performance, consent)
- 3 Generate for the pitch, labelled
- 4 Shoot or VFX from archive/real plates; generation only with care and checks
Met or Not yet, with a comment from a trained reviewer. Until accounts open, open the model answer after you submit and mark your own work against it.
Model answer (open after you submit)
1 Generate: stylised and abstract. 2 Shoot: it's an actor's performance. 3 Generate, labelled as such, for the pitch. 4 Shoot on location with art department dressing, or VFX from real plates; generated streets need checking for accuracy and rights.
