PSA response

SOOO this week we showcased our PSA's to the school. Each day of the week we showed a PSA in every English class. After each day one person from the PSA group would post to schoology and tell everyone to go comment on twitter using a hashtag or comment on twitter. If they did they would be entered to win some prizes. They are some pretty sweet prizes so I hope a lot of people comment and see our videos. 
My video was the first one to be seen and surprisingly it got a lot more views than I thought it would get. It is at like 80 something views and has around five comments. So far I am feeling pretty good. We in our digcit class are having ourselves a little friendly competition between our groups. While I havn't checked the standing so far, I am feeling good. I think we had a really powerful PSA. 
As a recap, on what our PSA was about, it was about digital wellness, specifically it was about self worth. We were trying to encourage people who find self worth in social media to not do that. We want them to find it in things that make them who they are. I hope that it really impacted some people and changed some peoples lives. 
So as a conclusion. I'd say that as a whole all of our PSA's in this class were a complete success they all look great and sound great.

I like my PSA

So in this unit we were instructed to create PSA's ( public service announcements). During this project I learned a lot. I learned that you need to know how to edit and create a video that will really capture the audiences attention. Depending on your topic, you can do this in a multitude of ways. For my groups PSA we, our topic was digital wellness and we specifically decided to focus on self worth and social media. We wanted to show how you should not find your self worth on social media. One of the things we incorporated was painting a picture for what it would be like for a person that found self worth in social media, a world without it. Then we listed all the things they should find their self worth in. The music is also a large part of  a PSA. You need to have impactful music to grab hold of your audience. I honestly wouldn't want to change anything. I think we did a great job. If we had better resources, maybe we could have done a little better but overall i fell as if we did an awesome job.
