non smoking p.s.a

Me and Sofia got 'non smoking advertisement'. We planned it all and we decided to make one of the many situations of why is it bad for people to smoke. We chose a 'mother' who was smoking in the car with his kid in it, and he got contaminated for so much smoke, that when he was older he ended up having lung cancer. We chose this because, we thought about adults as well as teens realizing by seeing that when they smoke, they affect the ones surrounding them. And if you have the unhelthy vice to smoke, children are exposed to your vice also. Its dangerous to contaminate their little lungs with your unawareness.

What i would like to change perhaps would be putting more emphasis in the kid, or being more serious about the situation. I think our p.s.a. gets to the exact point, but i dont think is very strong enough. What me and sofia wanted to do it transmit some kind of guilt, that way people stop being so unaware, and care more about their health. It was good but im guessing not that powerful, it was interesting, though some people might had laugh. That was not the point. We wanted to be serious about this theme. Doing a more concentrated and foccused p.s.a. that makes people worry. Using more strong and shocking images! thats what remains in the brain. Which psycologically makes the society react, and be more aware of this health situation.

The best one in the class for me was debora's and jade's. It went straight to the point, it was ovious, it had concecuences of the acts. They achive the main goal, demonstrate: cause and effect. They did an interesting P.S.A. but its more for teens. They inform directly which was great.

Public Service Announcements (PSA)...

  • Write a three paragraph blog post.
    1. Explain to me your understanding of what a PSA looks like. How is it different from a commercial? How is it similar?
    2. Who would you like to work with and why? Give me multiple options here.
    3. What are five potential PSAs that you think are needed for your target age group (teens). (this is a list)
    4. Select three of these ideas and tell me how you would approach it if you were assigned this as a PSA.

Show only topic 8

A Public service announcement is a small commercial which works by giving educational lessons. Doesn't sell a product. It helps to inform people about a certain thing. Is quick and direct. Gives facts so peope are aware that it is true.It is similar to a commercial because they are talking about a product, though in the PSA doesn't sell the product.
I would like to work with: Debora. Because she is my neighbor, we have similar ideas, we put effort on project, she encourages me to do a better job, and i always end up having fun with her.
My other option is Adriana, shes creative too, i like doing projects with her cause its fun, and i get to teach her lots of things. She has lots of materials, she follows orders and she understands what the theme is.
My last option, is Mahonrry, he is s good guy who is wiling to cooperate, he gives lots of ideas and supports opinions.He is such a responsible guy, and an excellent partner while working.

Five things i could do my PSA about:
1.not smoking
2.driving under alcohol dangerous
3.texting while driving
4. dont do drugs
5.Aids

The ones i will select would be: not smoking, driving under alcohol is dangerous, and texting while driving.
Not smoking, i would do a announcement about the effects of smoking, and why is it bad for your health. I would tell a personal story, so people actually get awared of it,and they take it serious.
The driving under alcohol influence, i would say why is it bad.. what does it cause? how you can KILL people. you can kill from an stranger to your own famiy, or even take away your own life. Mostly say reasons, and do a shocking video about it. What people find socking, it stays in their continence.
And for the texting while driving, i would oviously put the concecuentces to that act, and some shocking pictures, Showing some cause and effect. Perhaps making a trumatic sene, and how in a matter of seconds life can change.

For my PSA i will really do it based to somehting shocking, because from a shocking image that is in your head you are aware of what you shouldnt dom because you dont wanna end like the picture you saw.

COMERCIALS

As watching videos from the super bowl and videos from the classemates you really identify the art and the creativity from them. I watched so many commercials from the super bowl, but the first one i saw, was the one i loved! I bet everybody else did to cause is simply entretaining. Well my favortie comemercial fromt he super bowl was the 'darth vader-volkswagen'. With this little kid dressed as darth vader trying to move stuff around, is just hillarious. The kid did the whole commercial perfect. I wouldnt change ANYHTING from it, is simple, clear, hillarious, entretaining, and it sells the product! what else can a commercial have?

But then.. there where those awful commercials, which not only where boring but there was one which seemed absolutely scary! I would change everything from it. 'Android is ready to play'. hoenstly the commercial is scary and disgusting. They but thumbs on a robot, im so busy looking at how disgusting is it that i dont even know what the advertizement was about. I would change everything form it. It just doesnt have a good idea, and is not a nice image to see.

Then my friends comercials well they where all pretty good and others boring or lack of enthusiasm but i have a winner in this cometition. :)
My friend JORGE VITAL takes the award to the best comercial. He did an advertizement on 'coca cola' and its simply hillarious, funny, entretaining, simple, and it sells the product. Jorge's was the best. It was the one i kept repeting over and over and over, cus i just didnt got tired of it. Jorge congratulations! your creativity took you to the top, you are ready for the big industires! hahaaha
His video was the best! honestly!

Carlton Draught Comercial

I love this commercial is really hilarious and over all unexpected, which is the fun part of it.I thought that this commercial was so creative, that is what i like the most about it. The commercial i picked Carlton Draught | "Big Ad"is a commercial which promotes beer. And is so itnense because you see thousands of people running agains teach other until they intersect and you see the image fromt he sky and it looks like a guy drinking beer. This commercial isnt of the ones which leaves you with a message, its just simple fun.
Though
there are other commercials that do leave a profound effect on you. An excellent commercial that I seriously got a lesson of is the following:
http://www.yout
ube.com/watch?v=dT1GvPQG904
It is about everything that you post online. The reason this commercial had a profound meaning on me, was becasue it was like a wake up call. Everyone can find out everything you post on the internet, parents, friends,family, even strangers. Sometimes we don't realize that internet isn't private, and that as it is communicative and informative its also dangerous.


By watching commercials daily you learn the ones which are not so good, and the ones which catch you attention quick. There are every type of commercials, they promote shoes- and even trips, etc. Its not what you are promoting is the way you do it. You've got to interest the audience, keep them watching (of course not for a long time), and get directly to the point, leave them with the product in mind, and make them feel as if they needed it. The elements i would use in this project are a video camera, a theme of what my commercial will be about, my props and some people perhaps. What challenges me the most in this project is interesting the audience and make it seem like a real commercial. And of course my BIGGEST CHALLENGE IS: leave the expectations thinking of the product I'll be promoting.


COMMERCIAL OF ANTI SMOKING....!

ONE DAY ON EARTH PROJECT/VIDEO



My video is based on 'one day on earth video' but its main theme is attraction's reaction.
What i mean with this is the fact that you are attracted to many things in life, from a landscape, to the smallest thing like a rock. And then comes the reaction which is the beautiful part of my project, the fact that humans are able to react towards an action, and without being concient of it. And when you're not concient about certain things, and you'r brain automatically makes them for it self, thats the most pure acttion, cause its being totally honest.
Attractions--reaction.
The reaction towards something its what brings afterward the feeling of it, meaning its emotion.
An example of this is : youre attracted to the beautiful waves in the sea, you instantly smile, thats the reaction which creates the feeling of happines, joy, and tranquility.
I think my project is simply amazing, cause it demonstrates in a certain way what im trying to say. It demonstrates the things we, humans, are attracted to, and our reaction to life's experiences.
I was inspired by the title 'one day on earth', which brings MILLIONS of ideas. But i came out with this one because i thought, one day on earth must be full with lots of emotions, and the emotions come from reactions towards something, right?
The reaction is the consecuence of Attraction.
I really liked my video not only because it is creative, but because its a world around me, and my life.
