3 Things To Make My PSA a Success

Hello everyone! If you could tell by the title, this weeks blog is about three things I can do to make my PSA Successful. And I can think of 3 right off the bat that I see a lot. I want to turn it in on time, do my best on it, and make my PSA point clear and persuasive. 


First, turn it in on time. This one was a really tricky one the last 2 quarters because we kept having to reschedule and actually making a decent project was hard. So it was a challenge to meet the deadline given. We did finish it in 2 days early, and we turned it in the day it was due. But I shouldn't have a problem with the PSA since it is only 30 seconds long, and since I did film most of it this weekend, I have 27 seconds already. And it is due in about 2 weeks. So I just am crossing my fingers I don't screw up. 


Second, make a good PSA. Mr. M told us that no matter how good our story and message is, if we don't make the video look good, no one will care or even pay attention to it. So again, I filmed 90% of it this weekend, and I think I did a great job. Audio was clear, and the visuals were crisp. So I hope to please Mr. M with that. 


Lastly, I need to make my PSA clear and persuasive. If you didn't know already, my PSA is about all the harmful chemicals inside a cigarette. So my Dad gets all these harmful things that are found inside a cigarette, and pours it inside a bowl and shows it to a boy who wants a cigarette, and shows him what he would be smoking if he had a cigarette. So I think it was clear and persuasive since it is such nasty stuff!

Your story and message are actually the most important things in a PSA. I've seen other schools win competitions with really poor quality video but their message and idea that they used was so good that it overcame those things. With me, you know that I'm a stickler for quality. I want everything to be good as should you. I'm glad you went back and took more shots to improve your video. That's very positive to see!
