DGA- Public Service Announcement Creation Progress

            What my group did to create the PSA was that we went outside to go video tape the video part of the PSA. We borrowed Ms. Hernandez's camera and we stared video taping the two girls in the script. They were playing in the swings and then two guys came and told them if they wanted to go play with them. I video taped this scene and also the part where the two girls say no and start running, bit they catch one of the girls. The last part of the scene I video taped was where the girl that didn't get trapped was calling the police and then the clip starts. We checked the video and deleted the parts that we didn't want and the ones that we wanted we downloaded them to the computer.
           The last thing we need to do is to put the video in order and that is about it. I think my group already finished that so I assume we are all done for the Public Service Announcement.

DGA Public Service Announcement- Planning

          The my group and I have decided to organize our project is by acting out the first part of the Public Service Announcement and then it will be followed by a short slide show. The first part of the video will be about two girls playing around in the playground. They are having fun, but then these two guys come and ask them if they would like to play around. Both girls say no and start walking away. The boys start following them, and both girls start running away. The guys trap one of the girls while the other girl is going to tell the authorities. Girl tells authorities and the video ends. The slideshow starts and the first slide will have words saying that millions of children have been through this and that if you want to help you can contact a number or go to a website. I think that the video is going to go right and if it doesn't, then we will have to repeat and correct the seen until we get it right.

DGA Public Service Announcement- Design

The first design I thought about was to do an animation video. I thought about what I had to do, and I found many problems in it. The main problem I had was that it was going to take me a long time to plan out and sketch the animation and then I had to put it on the computer. The other conflict was that all my group had to participate and each would have to do a part of it, they would maybe not know how to do it so I had to think of a new idea. My second idea was that I was planning to do only a slide show with pictures and detailed facts about my project on child slavery and prostitution. The problem with this idea was that if we made it to long it would bore our viewers and the idea was to simple. My third thought was to make a video only and act the parts out, but then we wouldn't have facts on the video or more details that would grasp the audience attention. The fourth idea one of my classmates from my group brought it up and it was to do a video/slide show which was adequate for our Public Service Announcement. I liked this idea because we could actually show our viewers how child slavery and prostitution takes action and in the slide show we post facts on what occurs with them and how we could help stop this situation. With this idea we plan to act it out and make it eye catching.
