DocuSipn Envelope ID: SB358FB7-CDFA-44C1-B966-DFDA4354188B Media Arts Santa Ana Millennial Producers Academy (MILPA) EXHIBIT A - SCOPE OF WORK Details of the Youth Program/Service To Be Provided, The Tasks To Be Accomplished, And The Deliverables To Be Provided Media Arts Santa Ana's Millennial Producers Academy (MILPA) is an innovative and responsive program that provides digital media arts production training, entrepreneurial skills and cultural agility development to a cohort of youth and young adults selected from a diverse cross-section of local schools and community, justice, health, cultural and advocacy organizations. With support from the City of Santa Ana, MASA's Millennial Producers Academy will provide three 8-week media arts courses for students from ages 13-24. Each 8-week session will deliver a comprehensive training in the fundamentals of digital media production, creative storytelling, and how to develop career pathways in the creative and digital arts. Each class will be two - hours long, and instruction will focus on how to make high -quality video projects with tablets and cell phones, which are widely available to the target population, and which provide access to free or low-cost high quality digital production apps, such as Filmic Pro, Movie Pro, iMovie, Garage Band, Adobe Spark Video and Final Draft Mobile. In order to maximize impact and tailor instruction to participants' distinct creative, educational and professional needs, two of the MILPA courses will be available for youth 13-18 years of age, and one will be available to participants 19-24 years of age. Each course can accommodate 16- 20 participants. Each class will meet once weekly, be two hours long, and will include live instruction, question and answers, and an assignment. Additionally, at least three professional guest speakers will be scheduled for each cohort in order to provide professional training and career advice. By mastering the fundamentals of digital media production, participants can create high - quality, creative and technically -proficient projects. Additionally, the production fundamentals learned using this accessible equipment (i.e. lighting, sound recording, script writing, cinematography and editing) will empower participants to transfer these skills directly to projects involving more expensive cameras, computers and software. Introducing participants to a world of powerful digital production tools that are literally at their fingertips, MILPA helps overcome the digital divide that results from lack of access to resources and technology so critical to success in today's society and workforce. The MILPA program can be delivered via Zoom as distance learning or in -person, if health restrictions allow. If in -person instruction is allowed, the class will be held at Grand Central Arts Center in the Santa Ana Artists' Village. To maximize geographic access, we can hold each 8- week course at a different location, such as the Delhi Center, Roosevelt -Walker Community Center or the Garfield Community Center. In addition to the live instruction, MASA will create sixteen 20-30 minute instructional videos to be viewed online as part of the training. These will focus on 8 aspects of digital production, and each aspect will include one video for technical training, and one video focusing on aesthetics and creative aspects of production. The videos will be uploaded to YouTube, and each pair will cover instruction related to subject covered in the live class. In this way, participants can view 11
