PSA

So far our group has finished our story board but we still need to start filming. We have cast people to play the parts. We still need to find a car to use. Our group has been very good at making decosons together and compromising. It has been hard to come up with a psa that is origional and creative but I think right. Ow we are all happy with the storyboard.

MTN PSA

I think the most challenging part of the psa this far has been coming up with original ideas to express our topic.  We have made a lot of changes from our first ideas of what we were going to do.  I think at first we had a good idea but we overlooked many things and we realized this after presenting our pitch.  I think my group has come to a final decision on our story board and we are all excited to finally record our psa :)

media campaign

I think commercials can be really effective advertisement and media campaigns.  A lot of them advertise products but others sometimes are just meant to send a message to the viewers. For instance, the anti-tobacco comercials are meant to be funny but also make people realize that chewing tobacco is very dumb and just because you turn 18, that shouldn't make it ok to do. I think it's effective because they 'compare tobacco to a popsickle filled with shards of glass and that it's unsafe to eat unless you're over 18 but really it's still not ok.  Advertising plays a role in what you buy because it makes you think about the product and either gives you a good description of it or bad.

MTN

From MTN's last visit I learned how to creat a storyline and how to make each scene more intense.  Also that you have to break down the story into different parts like the idea, synopsis, scrips, scouting...etc. I think I might use a clip from Lord of the Rings.  Media literacy is important because we think, learn and express ourselves unsing media.
