PSA#1
PSA#1 (Individual Project) – Students learn how to make a Public Service Announcement using only pictures, no video footage. After lecture and multiple examples of student work, students brainstormed to pick topics for their PSAs. Students must develop the PSA with detailed documentation as follows, from start to finish. Content will be researched using a variety of proven sources, and images will be collected from various online and offline sources as well.
Students will use Adobe Photoshop to prepare images – size must be 800×600 pixels or 1026×768 pixels for optimal production using iMovie. Students are encouraged to use text screens to enhance their message, and an audio track must be included. PSAs are to be at one of the following lengths: 30 sec., 45 sec., or 60 sec.
Students will be graded on these assignment posts and in the standard prescribed assignment posting format on their ePortfolios. (Posting format is on my instructional blog):
– Elevator Speech: Narrative paragraph(s) describing the PSA, intent/message, audience, and sources of content. (5 points) Elevator Speech
– PSA Script & Images: Scene by scene set-up, and detailed description of content and flow. (10 points)Psa Script
– PSA Production – Rough Cut: Using iMovie, content is assembled and edited for presentation – streamed from Vimeo. (20 points)PSA Teen Depression Rough Cut
Reflection: This is just my rough cut but i think that I am making good progress on getting this done. There are some things that i need to touch up on but other than that I am close to being done.
– PSA Edits: Students take peer evaluation feedback and create an edits list that will be applied to their Final Cut (5 points)PSA Edits List
– PSA Production – Final Cut: Students post edited final video on ePortfolio PSA#1 page – streamed from Vimeo (10 points)Final Copy Teen depression PSA
Reflection: My PSA project is on Teen depression and I feel like it turned out very well, I started out by doing my elevator speech also by writing my script and choosing my topic, then I started to find the images that I wanted and thought was a good image. I after started my rough cut for my PSA and got 10 people to edit my PSA. I finally finished my PSA, I feel very proud and confident that I will get a good grade!
