AI as a Creative Tool in Documentary Directing “Yogyakarta Hari Ini” Developing a Prototype in the Digital Landscape Era
Abstrak
This research adopts a Practice-Led Research method by involving thirty students to record fragments of urban reality in Yogyakarta from their respective perspectives. The heterogeneous collection of videos is briefly described to map the diversity of visual representations, and subsequently examined through a documentary film entitled “Yogyakarta Hari Ini.”
The main focus of this study is to explore the extent to which artificial intelligence (AI) can assist in constructing narrative flow and visual storytelling, thereby supporting directors and editors in formulating the documentary treatment from fragmented video materials.
The research hypothesis is that AI has the potential to serve as a creative tool in transforming raw visual data into a coherent narrative. Thus, this study contributes to the discourse on Indonesian film aesthetics in the digital landscape, particularly in exploring the relationship between human creativity and technological automation within the practice of contemporary documentary filmmaking.
