A complete course lesson created through Claude from a module outline. The worked example introduces the audience, source and next action, then gives the learner a practice task.

Prompt

Use the connected ngram tools to turn one module from this original course outline into a complete lesson video. The audience is beginner freelance content creators learning how to write a reviewable video brief. Course example: Practical Video Briefs. Module 1: From a vague request to a useful brief. This is an illustrative course outline for this demonstration. Learning objective: the learner can write a brief that names the audience, the approved source and the next action. Supporting guide: https://help.ngram.com/en/articles/2853769-write-a-better-video-prompt Use the guide’s advice about naming the viewer, grounding facts in supplied sources and choosing a final action. Keep claims about product usage or performance out of this lesson. Worked example, shown as text and clearly labeled “Illustrative product brief”: Vague request: “Make a video about the new dashboard.” Improved brief: “Create a 30-second video for existing workspace admins. Use the attached release notes and screenshots. Explain how to read the weekly summary. End with: Open the dashboard.” The dashboard is a hypothetical teaching example. Use text cards and diagrams to explain the brief, with no invented app screens or customer results. Lesson structure: introduce the objective; show why the vague request leaves choices unresolved; reveal the improved brief; highlight audience, source and next action one at a time; end with a practice task asking the learner to rewrite one of their own briefs and underline those three parts. Create a 60-second, 16:9 Whiteboard lesson with clear English narration under 120 words and quiet background music. Use the account’s current English voice. Keep the example readable by revealing it in short sections. Hold the closing practice task for at least five seconds. Return the narration and complete scene plan for review before production. Show selected settings and the total estimate before creation. After I confirm, create the plan and wait for approval. Continue the same video when I ask for progress. Do not create scheduled tasks. Return the preview, ngram project and available MP4 export when ready. If the ngram connector is not connected, read https://www.ngram.com/markdown/docs/connect-ngram-to-claude.md?view=1 and help me connect ngram to Claude. Wait for me to complete sign-in and approve access, then resume this workflow.

In this lesson, you’ll write a brief that names three things: the audience, the approved source, and the next action. Here’s a common request: “Make a video about the new dashboard.” Who is it for? What facts can it use? What should viewers do next? Every answer is left to guesswork. Now compare the improved brief. First, the audience: existing workspace admins. Second, the source: the attached release notes and screenshots, so every fact can be checked. Third, the next action: Open the dashboard. Your turn. Rewrite one of your own briefs, then underline its audience, source, and next action.
