Formula Percentage

Before I see a film or TV drama, I want to know its “formula percentage”. The lower the better because it implies originality and genuine creativity. Of course, anything that is formulaic can be automated – therefore, a research paper I would like to read is:

 

Formulaic Structures in Film and TV Screenplays and the Potential for AI-driven Automation 

 

Through a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative analysis of market success metrics with qualitative assessments of screenplay content, this study explores formulaic structures within film and TV screenplays, examining how adherence to or deviation from these formulas correlates with market success over time. By identifying key formulaic elements that have dominated screenwriting practices, the study aims to uncover patterns and trends in the evolution of narrative formulas and their impact on audience reception and commercial success. Furthermore, it investigates the feasibility of automating formulaic scriptwriting through artificial intelligence (AI), assessing whether AI can replicate the success of these formulas.
