AI Filmmaking — Online Short Course
Develop a short film or digital video with AI supporting the process from idea to release. You can work through the lessons in your own time while building a responsible workflow for scripting, visual development, editing and content delivery.
Learn the full process.
This online course keeps the story at the centre and treats AI as a production tool rather than a substitute for creative direction. Learners use guided lessons and practical tasks to develop an idea, script it, create or capture material, edit the work and prepare it for an audience.
The self-paced format suits beginners, working creators and small teams. The final project gives learners a concrete piece of work through which to test quality, consistency, consent, copyright and disclosure choices.
Skills you can use.
- Define an audience, format and creative direction for a short project.
- Develop an idea into a concise script and production plan.
- Use AI tools to support research, ideation, visuals, voice and post-production.
- Keep characters, style and story details consistent across generated material.

- Make responsible decisions about consent, copyright, disclosure and accuracy.
Knowledge. Practice. Workplace experience.
Work through the lessons and practical tasks online in your own time. The recommended pace helps learners keep moving, but access is not tied to a weekly campus timetable.

How progress is assessed.
Assessment is based on short practical tasks and a final project submitted online. Learners receive feedback against the course outcomes.
An RMA short-course certificate is issued after the required work has been completed successfully. This is a non-credit-bearing provider course, not a QCTO occupational qualification.
