Fictional Band’s New Album Promotional Slideshow
In this project, you will continue the journey with your fictional band by creating a dynamic promotional slideshow for their latest album. This slideshow will not only feature visual elements but will also include AI-generated music samples and short voice-generated interviews or announcements to bring your band’s story and music to life.
1. Group Formation: Reunite with your group from the previous band promotional material project.
2. Album and Concept Brief: Outline the overall concept for your promotional slideshow, including the mood, visual style, and key messages you want to convey.
3. Music Sample Generation: Use generative music apps to create short samples for at least two tracks from the album. These should reflect the album’s theme and showcase your band’s “sound.” Consider elements like genre, tempo, and instruments that fit your band’s identity.
4. Voice Content Creation: Using ChatGPT, script short interviews or announcements that could be part of your band’s album promotion. This might include band members discussing the album’s inspiration, announcing a release date, or sharing behind-the-scenes stories. Utilize voice generation tools to bring these scripts to life, paying attention to voice selection to match your band members’ personalities.
5. Visual and Slide Show Assembly: Assemble the images from last project into into a slideshow format, incorporating your music samples and voice-generated content at appropriate points to enhance the narrative and promotional appeal.
For Next Week: Complete the video project by adding generative AI sound and music.
