To see our PSA: Making Your Values Matter, click here
Creating this PSA, gave me a chance to learn a different part of the media world. It gave me a chance to expand my knowledge into actually brainstorming and helping to write the script for a public service announcement. What was also very unique about this project, is that at the beginning, we all had different ideas for a PSA. But my teammates (Jessie, Stephanie) and I were able to combine them and create the theme, or main idea that our whole PSA is based on: Youth Empowerment: Making Your Values Matter. The San Francisco Film Society helpers, Kirthi, Ryan, and Masa were also a great help to all of our class. Even when we thought our film was done, they helped us point out many little things that needed to be corrected, before being able to finally export it.
To me what most fun about creating this PSA was editing it. It gave all of us a chance to be creative and make this movie really ours, and enjoyable for others to watch. However, what was most hard for me would have to be filming. Now that took a lot of focus and teamwork from all of us. I have to say that standing in front of a camera was not as easy as it seemed! For a minute I thought we would never be able to get all of our scenes filmed in time, since all of us just kept messing up! In the end, our PSA didn't quite follow our script. In fact, we had all decided to delete or change many scenes. Kirthi explained this happens very often in the media world, and these small alterations can actually help improve our film.
Overall, I enjoyed being part of this project in creating a PSA. It was a wonderful, new experience working with Kirthi, Ryan, and Masa. I'm sure we wouldn't have been able to start or finish these PSAs without them. I hope all of our hard work is displayed during Friday's screening, and that they'll actually listen to all of our messages being promoted throughout all of our videos.
