The Oscairs

• 01 By the end, you can Critique and cut the finished trailer to match the soundtrack, giving feedback in the fixed format — attention, best cut, one fix.
• 02 By the end, you can Build a one-page promotional site with ChatGPT that reaches the trailer without scrolling and sounds like the film.
• 03 By the end, you can Show a shot before and after with the exact instructions used, explaining what each change did.
• 04 By the end, you can Combine both into a rehearsed 4–5 minute premiere where every team member speaks and defends their choices.

1. Finishing the Cut
   Applied craft
   • Warm-up Spot The Mismatch Show two clips side by side and have the class pick which one has the wrong colour or mood.
2. Cheap vs Expensive Models
   AI concepts
   • Game Blind Model Taste Test Show pairs of clips or text where one came from a cheap AI model and one from an expensive one, let the class vote on which is better without knowing the labels, then reveal the answers.
   • Debate Good Enough On Trial Split the class into two teams, one arguing the cheap model is good enough for their film and one arguing the expensive model is worth the extra cost, using real output as evidence.
   • Worksheet Score The Output Give students a scorecard that rates each model's clip on quality, speed, and cost so they can pick one and write down why it was the best choice.
3. Promo Websites and Slide Decks
   Tool teaching
   • Worksheet One Screen Pitch Sketch the top of the film's promo web page on paper before building anything.
   • Build Brief The Site Use ChatGPT to build the film's promo website, rewriting your instructions until it sounds like the film.
4. Presentation Prep and Skills
   Applied craft
   • Warm-up Table Topics Warm Up Each student draws a surprise question about their film and speaks about it for thirty seconds without preparing, to shake off nerves before rehearsing.
   • Role-play Two Stars And A Wish One team runs part of its premiere pitch while the watching teams write down two things that worked and one thing to improve, then read them out.
   • Simulation Beat The Clock Run Through Teams do a full timed rehearsal of the premiere with a stopwatch, aiming to land between four and five minutes with every member speaking at least once.
5. The OscAIrs Premiere
   Assessment
   • Discussion Name The Fix After each film the class gives feedback in three fixed steps: best moment, best cut, one thing to fix.

This deliverable is where students demonstrate

1. E Assemble, present and evaluate a finished trailer
   Look out for

   • ↳Matching mood (Objective 1): Clips from different AI tools are compared and matched, and no mismatch in mood remains in the finished trailer.
   • ↳Feedback format (Objective 2): Feedback given in the room says what grabs attention, says the best cut, and says one thing to fix, with no open-ended comments like 'it was cool'.
   • ↳Evidence of improvement (Objective 3): A shot is shown before and after, with the exact instructions used and a plain explanation of what the change did.
   • ↳Promotional website (Objectives 4 and 5): The website reaches the trailer without scrolling, with something that grabs attention and one action, the words sound like the film rather than a template, and there are no broken links or leftover placeholder text.
   • ↳Premiere delivery (Objective 6): The premiere runs 4 to 5 minutes, is rehearsed, every team member speaks, and the team explains its choices when asked.
