This past week in class, I was tasked with creating a video PSA with some of my classmates. We chose to take the sarcastic route to get our message across and reach our audience through humor. I can honestly say we made an impression and left them with something memorable. :) The process of creating the video was fun and allowed for a lot of creativity. The importance of writing a script is definitely evident as it helped to keep us on track when we began to tape each segment of the video. I am always beyond amazed at the latest equipment that is available to make this production so easy. The computer programs used to edit all of the film segments are really cool and although I think it definitely takes someone with a knack for knowing their way around their computer and having some familiarity of the program, I think once you get the hang of it, it's pretty simple.
Any chance my students get to create some little skit and incorporate their ipads or video features on their cell phones they are elated, so I could see this idea of creating PSAs as a great opportunity for them. I will keep you all posted if we find a way to make this a reality in my classroom in the near future! :)
