How do you write the script for an AI film?
On Higgsfield: Draft a faceless channel's scripts in Supercomputer, or first with Claude, and keep one script format (the same intro style, pacing and sign-off) so the videos feel like one channel.
Without Higgsfield: Before generating anything, lock the story, characters, scenes and dialogue and a shot list of what happens in each shot, built on a clear shape such as hook, problem, solution and call to action; a two-minute short usually runs 15 to 25 shots. Have a chat model such as ChatGPT or Claude expand your own idea into scenes and dialogue, answering its questions on runtime, settings and plot twists, rather than asking it to write a new script from nothing.
