PSA Project!!

Today we started filming my part which was supposed to show me graduating. We were really lucky because we managed to get a cap and gown from the choir room. We also got a WAIS certificate from Mr.W. We got our clip completed and adjusted so we're like 1/3 done!

Planing Our PSA

So today my group(Deborah and David) planned out our whole PSA. We have the plan filled out, we have our storyboard with all the different scenes we will shoot, and we even have our script ready with the english and spanish. We actually got a lot of work done today, so basically next time we'll be prepared to shoot. We also just need to find some props, but I think we're done with all the planning.

PSA Videos

Today we found some really good videos on a website called drugfreeworld.org and I actually learned a lot of new things that I never knew about drugs, like the long term effects of it. I learned that after the first use you can die, and some people who are older can get really bad effects like numbness, ulcers, heart attacks, all sorts of things. It would definitely convince me to not do drugs so I definitely thing they are good PSAs. They aren't the cheesy ones since they have like real life experiences. We came up with an idea for our anti-drug video and all we need to do is find some props and we'll be good. Today we also filled out a worksheet that was to investigate our topic which we completed easily.

PSAs

Today we looked up different PSAs which our public service announcements to show people and convince people different things. My group chose to do teens and drugs and we'll be doing  a video over that.

Posters(:

Here are my movie posters: I did two, because I didn't know which to choose.

Here is the one I did for environmental. It's supposed to encourage people to plant more trees and love the environment! haha

Reflection!

The new skills I have learned so far this semester is how to make non-boring presentations. I also learned how to make a wiki article about different things. My favorite was the text animation because it was fun that I could make actual animations out of a regular keynote. Lastly I learned how to use Adobe Rome. At first it was kind of complicated but I got used to it. Rome isn't my absolute favorite program, but I know how to use it now. These skills will benefit me because the next time I have a project for another class, I won't have the most boring presentation. I learned a lot of keynote skills I will be needing later on. Also, it would probably be useful to know how to make a proper wiki article. Adobe Rome could be useful for jobs and even school. I can make all sorts of things, for instance I might need to advertise something for people to buy. I could just make a poster to print out easily. My level of effort effected my achievement because the more effort I put in my work, the better the outcome came out, and the more experience I have with the program.

Poster Project

Today I'm going on a field trip so I got less time to work on my posters, but basically I completed everything, I just need to work on the details now. Hopefully I'll be able to finish everything by next time.

Posters

So today I worked on my project again, and it was hard to get my pictures to blend in with the background.   Either I might continue on doing my poster, or start a new one. Hopefully we'll have more time next time.

New Project!

Today we worked on the projects we have to do on Adobe Rome. We have to make two different posters, one for a fictional movie, and the other for the environment or humanitarian effort. I worked on my movie poster first and found a picture of a handprint, so I decided to do a mystery movie. Then my title is The X Files, which is like a show and movie. So far it looks pretty good, but I need to edit more.
