My group is at the part where were starting to begin filming. The only thing we really need to complete is getting the "swaggalicious" outfit for the PSA.
What's been working well for us is our ideas and planning.
There aren't really any obstacles for our PSA.

I think my group is doing what it takes to make our PSA creative, we've made a few small changes to express the point of our PSA even more. After reading the article the only thing I might want to change is make a strong message at the start so the viewers don't spend the whole time thinking about what were trying to get out, also not to think its a commercial for anything. Our PSA is going to be effective because we have a strong original idea that should strongly get our message across.

What has been the most challenging part of the PSA project thus far?

- the most challenging part of our PSA project so far was drawing the storyboard for it because no one in our group including myself is good at drawing so having to draw something for 19 different boxes was pretty hard for us.

Overall, how did your groups pitch go, reflect and evaluate? Is your message of public/ community interest? Who is your target audience and how will your form/ style appeal to them?

- I would say that my groups pitch went well we got good feedback and a few ideas that will help better our PSA.
Our message is of public/ community interest because were informing them about stuff. Out target audience is tee s and young adults

What is the role of public service announcements in our media culture? What are some of the topics your group thought of for your PSA? What role did you play in creating the plan?

- the role of PSA's in our culture is to inform the public on issues that happen often in communities and stuff. Also to help prevent certain issues and things to better everyone.
My group thought of 2 ideas for PSA's our first idea was the awareness of AED machines and how to use them, our second idea was the importance of self expression.
The role I played in creating the plan was giving ideas and drawing stuff.

Think about an effective advertisement or media campaign. Why is it effective? How does advertising play a role in what you buy?

- An effective advertisement campaign is the budlight beer commercials. I personally do not drink budlight or any other alcoholic beverages, but if I did I would most likely drink budlight. the budlight light advertisements are very comical and stay in your head, which is probably why there so successful. Advertising plays a role in what you buy beacuse if the product is advertised well then you'll want to buy the product.

What have I learned from the last two MTN visits?
-I've learned that there is a lot of working that goes into making a short PSA. There are a lot of ideas and points and goals that you have to fit into your PSA.

What clip do you plan on using for your visual communications critique?
-I plan on using the budlight commercial where the house is made out of bottles of  budlight

Why is media literacy important?
-Because it allows everybody's ideas and opinions and stuff to be shown and stuff
