PSA

This assignment will look at using film/audio to send a message. We have already looked at audio and effective film techniques. Now it is your time to put this knowledge into action.

You will develop a treatment, script, and a storyboard (if it is a video) that will prepare you for creating a public service announcement (PSA) that deals with a topic that you feel is important. This PSA must be about 45 to 60 seconds in length with the correct use of different camera angles/movements to share your message. Once you have planned out your PSA, you will record it in and around the school (stay on school property) and then edit it in Windows Movie Maker. Think of topics that could be recorded in and around our school (bullying, stereotyping, depression, studying, addictions, etc).

PSA's generally deal with serious issues that people are trying to create awareness about.


 * Use the document below as a guide when examining each PSA. The questions will encourage you to think a bit deeper about each of the advertisements.**

Here are a few examples of what public service announcements look and sound like:
