PSA #1
Description – 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)
– PSA Script & Images: Scene by scene set-up, and detailed description of content and flow. (10 points)
– PSA Production – Rough Cut: Using iMovie, content is assembled and edited for presentation – streamed from Vimeo. (20 points)
– PSA Edits: Students take peer evaluation feedback and create an edits list that will be applied to their Final Cut (5 points)
– PSA Production – Final Cut: Students post edited final video on ePortfolio PSA#1 page – streamed from Vimeo (10 points)
Reflection – This was really fun to make. I haven’t made a PSA in a long time so I thought I would forget how to do it. When I started to make my PSA I didn’t know how to make everything work together, but then I figured out a way. I feel like I did pretty good on this PSA.
