Learn the craft of story telling: Writing

Storytelling begins with the idea, and then transends into the written word to engage an audience. At the WSFA, we will teach you how to reach your audience and establish your unique voice.

Capturing images to show the story: Filming

If you say it, show it-if you show it say it! We are a visual people. To really tell the story, we provide you with the tools to capture the story visually and aurally-we also teach you how to use these valuable story telling tools.

Arranging the story to capture the attention of your audience: Editing

Turning this skillset into a sustainable career: Monetization

Once you have written the idea for your story, you capture the images, record the voices, gathered the thematic music-now it's time to put it all together-and that's called editing. Editing can be summed up into this phrase: keeping the good parts and deleting the bad parts and arranging it in a way that is compelling to the audience. The students will be editing on Final Cut Pro.

With this new skillset comes the responsibility to monetize-or turn this into a sustainable business! That does not mean simply posting your videos online and hoping for the best.  This requires a plan-a business plan. We will teach you how to explore your options on building a sustainable plan from the person who won the Winston-Salem Business Plan Contest. In addition to the business plan, we've partnered up with Piedmont Federal Savings Bank to help you with the financial literacy aspect of the business.
