I felt as though my group and I exerted a lot of effort in planning and producing our PSA. We started by simply finding a topic we would like create our PSA about. Then we got together to plan the various scenes that needed to be taped for the PSA. We made scripts, planned out who was going to be in which scenes, and took pour own pictures to put in our PSA. We also researched various facts that we wanted to put in our PSA. Then we began the taping! We were not able to tape all of the sections at one time so we took turns videotaping each other at different times. We also all took turns taking pictures of each other to use in the PSA. Lastly, we had to put the PSA together. It was difficult because the videos would not play on any of our group members’ computers. Therefore, we all came to the lab and figured out how to encode our videos so that they would work in Windows Movie Maker. Putting the movie together was the easiest part!
I think creating and sharing a PSA impacts my future as an educator because it is a great example of a project that I can use in my classroom, with my students. I can easily see myself having my students film & create a PSA instead of having a test on a certain unit. They would have to create a PSA about a subject that we had been working on for a few weeks in order to show their knowledge of the material. I also think this impacts my future as an educator because I am more aware that Public Service Announcements exist. I knew what a PSA was before this project, but I truly never thought about how it can aid me in my teaching. There are thousands of Public Service Announcements in the world and they would be great introductions or attention grabbers for certain lessons, activities, or units.
