PSA Reflection 2

This week we showed our PSA's in English class. Sadly many of them were not shown, I feel that we should've found better ways to market our PSA. Many students had no idea about showing of the PSA. I felt that we should've announced it ahead of time, so that people were aware. Another thing that we should do next time is making sure that the students know theres a competition going on and theres a chance they may win something. Many students weren't too excited about the prizes as well.  For instance, many students wear their See Something, Say Something wristband because they know they might win a Chick Fil A gift card, so I feel if we made the prizes better, I feel that more student would engage and participate. The first PSA had over 100 views but by the end of the week the end of the week, the last two PSA had less than 10 views. So I think we should make links on Schoology to remind teachers to show the PSA's and show students that by liking and leaving a thoughtful comment can better their chances of winning the competition. Making posters around the school will capture many students attention as well.

PSA Reflection

I learned many things creating our PSA, I learned different techniques when filming. I also learned that every little things counts, from the placement of where the person stands, to make sure the camera captures the right shots and that time is also key. It was exciting to see the end product. After all the work we put into it and seeing how far we've gotten in the past two weeks. But it's also nerve wracking knowing that the whole high school, and possibly the middle school is going to watch our PSA. I also hope that they understand the message were trying to deliver in the PSA. If I can do this PSA over, I would choose to not be in the actual PSA, I realized I'm so worked up on how I look in the film that it's all I see when I watch the PSA. I worried so much about my appearance and it made me not like the PSA due to that factor. I would also try to plan ahead of time and try not to get things done the last minute.
