PSA#2 (Solo/Team Project) – Students build on their first PSA experience to make a Public Service Announcement using stills and video footage.  Students brainstorm topic ideas as a class to pick topics for their PSAs. Students work solo or in teams of 2-4 students. 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 and video will be collected from various online and offline sources, and locations.

Students will use Adobe Photoshop to prepare images – size must be 800×600 pixels or 1026×768 pixels for optimal production using iMovie. Video footage will be edited 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. Longer length PSAs are OK with script approval.

Reflection: In this assignment, I had to do a group project.  In my group, there was Phoebe, Ryan, Elin, and Sophia.  We chose the topic peer pressure.  We made our elevator speech and script.  Next, we went to film.  After that, we took the videos and downloaded them into iMovie.  After that, we got six people to watch  our PSA and give up edits.  After that, we went in and made the edits.
