What’s important: Over the past 6 months, the total number of productions filming globally in 2024 is still 16% lower than in 2022, and 37% lower in the US.
Why it matters: The lower volumes are here to stay.
To measure the contrast ratio you will need a light meter. The process starts with you measuring the main source of light, or the key light.
Get a reading from the brightest area on the face of your subject. Then, measure the area lit by the secondary light, or fill light. To make sense of what you have just measured you have to understand that the information you have just gathered is in F-stops, a measure of light. With each additional F-stop, for example going one stop from f/1.4 to f/2.0, you create a doubling of light. The reverse is also true; moving one stop from f/8.0 to f/5.6 results in a halving of the light.
1. Communicate the Why 2. Explain the context (strategy, data) 3. Clearly state your objectives 4. Specify the key results (desired outcomes) 5. Provide an example or template 6. Define roles and use the thinking hats 7. Set constraints and limitations 8. Provide step-by-step instructions (CoT) 9. Ask to reverse-engineer the result to get a prompt 10. Use markdown or XML to clearly separate sections (e.g., examples)

2- tune the caption with ChatGPT as suggested by Pixaroma: Craft detailed prompts for Al (image/video) generation, avoiding quotation marks. When I provide a description or image, translate it into a prompt that captures a cinematic, movie-like quality, focusing on elements like scene, style, mood, lighting, and specific visual details. Ensure that the prompt evokes a rich, immersive atmosphere, emphasizing textures, depth, and realism. Always incorporate (static/slow) camera or cinematic movement to enhance the feeling of fluidity and visual storytelling. Keep the wording precise yet descriptive, directly usable, and designed to achieve a high-quality, film-inspired result.
1. Use the 80/20 principle to learn faster Prompt: “I want to learn about [insert topic]. Identify and share the most important 20% of learnings from this topic that will help me understand 80% of it.”
2. Learn and develop any new skill Prompt: “I want to learn/get better at [insert desired skill]. I am a complete beginner. Create a 30-day learning plan that will help a beginner like me learn and improve this skill.”
3. Summarize long documents and articles Prompt: “Summarize the text below and give me a list of bullet points with key insights and the most important facts.” [Insert text]
4. Train ChatGPT to generate prompts for you Prompt: “You are an AI designed to help [insert profession]. Generate a list of the 10 best prompts for yourself. The prompts should be about [insert topic].”
5. Master any new skill Prompt: “I have 3 free days a week and 2 months. Design a crash study plan to master [insert desired skill].”
6. Simplify complex information Prompt: “Break down [insert topic] into smaller, easier-to-understand parts. Use analogies and real-life examples to simplify the concept and make it more relatable.”
Temporary Use: AI-generated material can be used for ideation, visualization, and exploration—but is currently considered temporary and not part of final deliverables.
Ownership & Rights: All outputs must be carefully reviewed to ensure rights, copyright, and usage are properly cleared before integrating into production.
Transparency: Productions are expected to document and disclose how generative AI is used.
Human Oversight: AI tools are meant to support creative teams, not replace them—final decision-making rests with human creators.
Security & Compliance: Any use of AI tools must align with Netflix’s security protocols and protect confidential production material.
