# Media Strategy: Claude Certification Quest

This media layer turns the course into a beginner-friendly learning experience with videos, podcast-style audio, short clips, and guided review.

## Goal

Make the program feel less like homework and more like a guided quest learners can watch, listen to, and practice with.

## Audience

Mixed beginners:

- Some learners have never used AI.
- Some know ChatGPT or Claude casually.
- No learner is expected to know GitHub, Netlify, Vercel, coding, APIs, or deployment.

## Media System

Create four types of media:

1. Main orientation video.
2. Six short world videos.
3. Six podcast-style audio episodes.
4. Short social/review clips for repeated practice.

## Recommended Formats

| Format | Length | Use |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Orientation video | 2-3 minutes | Introduce the course and lower fear |
| World videos | 60-90 seconds each | Teach one world at a time |
| Podcast episodes | 5-8 minutes each | Audio review for walking, driving, or passive study |
| Shorts/Reels | 20-40 seconds each | Reinforce one concept quickly |
| Final Boss video | 90 seconds | Explain the certification practice flow |

## Tone

- Friendly.
- Adult.
- Plain-language.
- Encouraging without being childish.
- Practical, not hype-driven.

## Visual Style

Use clean, simple visuals:

- Browser screen recordings of NotebookLM and Claude.
- Big readable labels.
- Simple checklists.
- Light motion.
- No tiny UI text.
- No fake unreadable dashboards.

## Core Message

```text
You do not need to be technical to use AI well. You need clear instructions, trusted sources, careful checking, and safe habits.
```

## Production Order

1. Record or generate the orientation video.
2. Generate the podcast season from the scripts.
3. Create the six world videos from the storyboards.
4. Cut the best moments into shorts.
5. Use the Final Boss video before learners take the practice quiz.

## Folder Outputs

Recommended media output folders:

- `media/audio/`
- `media/video/`
- `media/shorts/`
- `media/captions/`
- `media/project-files/`

These folders can be created later when actual rendered media is produced.
