This paper describes the use of video to provide a screenplay depiction of a proposed artificial intelligence software system. Advantages of such use are identified: (1) the video can be used to provide a clear conceptualization of the proposed system; (2) it can illustrate abstract technical concepts; (3) it can simulate the functions of the hardware and software systems without having to invest time and money in developing an expensive prototype; and (4) the enactment permits software developers to "test" whether the proposed system will meet users' needs, and modify the system design where necessary.
