Multimedia AcademyA learning solution for middle school and high
school students
The ProblemThere are students in middle schools and high schools
that have the aptitude and talent to produce multimedia projects.
There are also many houses of worship that are looking for people
to produce quality video an audio projects. The problem is there
was little to no formal training available for students of this
age.
Even the public schools, Private schools and fine arts schools
let even the introduction courses for multimedia. They mostly focus
on performing arts.
Standards for evaluating possible solutionsTo evaluate the
solution:We must go to students that would benefit from this kind
of training.We also should interview the parents of the students to
find out if our solution is viable enough for them to pay for it.I
would also include getting responses from local pastors and
organizational leaders.
Individuals standards for accepting a solutionWe must test the
strength of the solution by gathering data directly our potential
clientele.Must figure out the cost the market can bareHiring and
Paying instructors is a part of the business that I have still not
figured out.Creating a course curriculum is going to be a new
challenge also.
BrainstormingThe solution is to create a multimedia academy that
will be a afterschool program that will include middle school and
high school age students.This school will offer video and audio
production.The students will experience real live production
scenarios as they will be able to intern on real professional
projects.The instructors will have real world and experience in
music, audio and video production.The students will also learn some
cinematography basics
Narrow down the solutionOriginally my plan was to have one
school location with all of the equipment in that location. As I
thought about having the easiest most viable and economic solution
I realize that I could use available space in church buildings and
public buildings. That I can use be Extremely mobile and portable
equipment and also require students to have some of their own
Technology. For instance bringing their own laptops or camera
equipment.By having small groups in different locations will also
help me to try out different methodologies of teaching the subjects
and make the school able to expand and shift locations very
quickly. Without the expense of renting a large Space and
supporting utilities I would be able to pay affordable rents in
different places.
Supporting examplesFull Sail Labs seems to be working really
good. It proves to me that in their market there is a need for this
kind of education. Whether parents will pay for this and not in my
market I have noticed that there are about seven different dance
academies in this area. Parents are paying for their children to go
to these schools. Through the research I've done I have realized
that there're parents that will pay for their children to learn
multimedia production.
Reason why this is the best solutionThis is the best solution
and most cost-effective solution because of its very affordable
start up costs. It will allow me to be able to dive in and start.I
already own most of the equipment I need to start.I already am
approved at a location in a nearby church.
Local support for my ideasOn Wednesday night it was speaking to
a pastor and telling him about my project, that I want to create a
multimedia academy. He explain to me how this is much-needed in the
area of Lexington, NC. That not only would he assist me in
promoting this to local churches but it also allowing me to use the
space is the church for the school. The reason why this is
interesting is because I got the same response from pastors in
Augusta, GA and Grovetown, GA.
