Advanced Prompting for Media Production

This unit expands foundational prompting skills into advanced strategies for digital content creation, covering parameter tuning, role/personality design, and converting workflows into repeatable prompting templates. Students practice applying these techniques across journalism, video production, education, healthcare, finance, and creative genres while preparing media-ready outputs and assessing accessibility and ethical considerations ahead of the capstone unit.

Learning Objectives

• Analyze how prompt components and model parameters (e.g., positive/negative directions, temperature, and model weights) influence ChatGPT outputs and document targeted adjustments to control tone, creativity, and specificity.
• Apply structured prompting strategies—such as converting work processes into step-by-step prompts, adding process instructions, specifying vocabulary and style, and choosing closed versus open questions—to generate tailored artifacts for journalism, video, tutoring, songwriting, and RPG narratives.
• Demonstrate the ability to iterate and render ChatGPT outputs into media-ready deliverables (scripts, storyboards, post-production notes, tutoring plans, or educator data insights) and integrate ChatGPT UI features (e.g., GPT Minis, model selection) into production workflows.
• Evaluate domain-specific and ethical considerations—including accessibility for special education, emotional intelligence in character/role work, and safety concerns in healthcare and finance—and propose mitigation strategies for inclusive, professional use.
