AI Prompt Challenge - Social Media Campaign Plan

Here’s your goal

Use a carefully tailored AI prompt to help you develop a plan of basic steps to run a social media campaign to promote the Earl Scruggs Music Festival

  1. READ the best practice guidelines for crafting prompts for Gemini, Copilot, and ChatGPT provided in Canvas.  
  2. Carefully Craft a single Multi-Use Prompt to accomplish the project Goals across all AI platforms.
    1. Publish this Prompt, along with
    2. the results of each of the AI responses in your blog entry.

THEN - use a "multi-prompt" approach, having the AI gather data from the Earl Scruggs site, and having the AI learn "best practices" of a social media campaign from HootSuite, EventBrite, etc. Then have AI craft a social media plan specific to the festival - remember, you can end your prompt by asking AI to ask you to provide additional information for best results.

Music Video

 Making a Music Video with Freegal Footage and Images

Students will hone their editing chops by producing a "music video" using song lyrics and "freegal" video & photo resources. This will help develop a simple planning process for editing (which can be transferred to shooting video, too.)
  1. Students will select a song to make into a video, and will script out the lyrics (with time codes) in a table to create a "shot list."
  2. Students will complete the table with a description of what images they want for each lyrical segment, making a "shopping list" for video footage and photos, etc.
  3. Students will begin "shopping" for "freegal" visual collateral, saving all assets in a folder dedicated to the project.
  4. Along the way, students should keep records of the assets which require attribution, (e.g. CC BY licenses.)
  5. Students will revise their shot list based on the images they actually chose to use, making the list into a Video Editing Guide - which will guide their editing in the lab.
  6. Students should refresh their knowledge of copyright laws and Fair Use guidelines to discuss how such materials may or may not be used.
  7.   
Below is an example of a couple minutes of a music video of Mary Chapin Carpenter's "I am a Town"  using CC 0 (Public Domain) image resources from the Library of Congress and Wikimedia Commons, and video footage licensed through VideoBlocks, and a few CC BY images from VisualHunt (which will be acknowledge in the credits of the finished video.)




Video Resources:

  • Links to an external site.U.S. Copyright Statement on Fair Use
  • Dr. Nichols' Pinterest Board for "legal" video - your one-stop shop for video resources) Use Pixabay and Pexels as easy entry)
  • Links to an external site.
  • Archive.org public domain film, movie and video footage
