What sets Getty's AI generator apart is its "commercially safe" model, powered by NVIDIA and trained exclusively on Getty Images' high-quality creative content and data.

🎭 Balancing Internal and External Conflicts

In screenwriting, crafting captivating characters requires an understanding of internal and external conflicts. Internal conflicts occur within a character, like fear or indecision, while external conflicts involve physical obstacles or antagonistic characters. A well-rounded character experiences both, with each conflict type feeding off the other to add depth to the narrative.
