How do I use the AI skills checklists?

Introduction

These AI skills checklists have been designed to provide information for freelancers working in high-end TV (HETV) and film about the skills, future advancements in technology and the AI tools already in use in production.

These are non-exhaustive lists that can be adapted and tailored to your own requirements, depending on the size, genre or type of company or production you are working in. 

The AI skills checklists aim to support the skills development of freelancers and employees on film and scripted TV productions. 

Please note that there are currently 20 roles which have been evaluated with research and prioritised for industry from the High-end TV Skills Fund and Film Skills Fund working groups.
