AI video generation has made it possible to move from a written idea to a visual sequence faster than ever, but compelling results still depend on thoughtful creative decisions. A striking clip is not automatically a story: creators need to shape a concept, guide visual consistency, and edit generated material into a clear emotional and narrative experience. This course gives you a practical process for doing that, from the first story beat to a finished short video. You will learn how generative video tools interpret prompts, how to turn an idea into a concise visual brief, and how to write prompts that specify subject, action, setting, camera, and mood. You will plan a sequence with story beats and a storyboard, then generate and refine shots while managing continuity across characters, locations, and visual style. Finally, you will assemble your clips, pace the edit, and use sound and transitions to support the story rather than distract from it. Each step builds toward a portfolio-ready short piece, with attention to both creative intent and the practical limits of current tools. This course is designed for designers, filmmakers, content creators, and curious visual storytellers who want to use AI video generation as part of a deliberate creative workflow. No prior machine-learning experience is required; basic familiarity with visual editing is helpful but not essential. Bring an idea you want to see on screen, and leave with a repeatable method for turning it into a coherent, polished AI-generated story.
