For Students

Learn to shoot, edit and produce great documentaries in WHYY's award-winning Public Media Commons. WHYY's After School Documentary Workshop is a video production program for area teens, 9-12 grade. The program combines media literacy and video production as students learn to produce short documentaries on a topic of their choosing. WHYY's media instructors act as executive producers, while the students write, direct, shoot and edit in small production crews.

Want to be the next big Hollywood director? In this in-person, after school program, high school students will work in small groups to create their very own short films. Students will learn the fundamentals of narrative filmmaking- story structure, script writing, storyboarding, video editing, and mirrorless camera operation.
