Public Service Announcement

For this time we had to make a PSA (Public Service Announcement) in teams of 2-3 students per each. The PSA must had a duration between 1:00 and 1:30. My team got the topic of Internet Safety. At first, we watched some videos about this theme to get an idea of what was it about. It wasn't an easy topic so we spent many time planning the "commercial" and then the ideas started to come out. Then, we initiated filming the PSA, it starts with Eduardo offering Rodrigo an iPad through the internet. After that, in the same scene Rodrigo accepts and gives Eduardo his personal information. Now, in the next scene, Eduardo has Rodrigo's Facebook and reads all his posts and finds out that his parents are away for a few days. Finally, in the last scene Eduardo visits Rodrigo and kidnaps him. That's practically all our commercial and the message is to never give personal information to any person through the internet.

Truly, I don't think our PSA needs a lot of changes, I think it is pretty good. The there are just a few things I would like to change. For example, the way we spent our time because we didn't use our time wisely, but at the end it is a good PSA. Another thing I would change is that they speak louder so it would be more understandable for the audience.

Honestly, I have a hard time choosing what video is the best, there are a few videos that are really good and others that are pretty bad. One of the videos that I liked was the Taku's and Jorge's video. It has a very poor quality but that was a minor problem, I emphasized my attention in the PSA's message, and actually their video gives a lot of helpful information about the marijuana. The other video I liked was the Raul's and Mahonry's PSA, it is about safe sex and it is very good. The PSA is based in a very common but informative problem and that's what I liked it. So, my three options for the best PSA are: My team's video about Internet Security, Jorge's and Taku, and Raul's & Mahonry's.
