Our group is in the pre filming phase. we have a couple things we need to iron out a a group and we have to set filming dates still. all three of us need to come together and set dates that work for us to film and we need actors to be in our video. we will start in very soon on getting our actors set up. our filming sites are home and school so there shouldn't be any problems with that as far as we know. everything should go smoothly.

the most challenging part of this psa project has probably been getting all of our ideas together to make one story. three people creating one psa can be problematic. We have all worked very hard to make our ideas cohesive. We still have a few things to iron out as we start filming but it should turn out great.

my groups pitch went well. we got a lot of constructive feedback. the class thought that it was relevant to current happenings. we are doing sexting because of the amount of sexting we see everyday, on tv, in movies, and with celebrities. we are all influenced by it. our target audience is kids out age, teens etc. we want to convey the message that sexting is a serious matter and that it can ruin reputations and make you feel all around bad.

In the media PSA's serve as a source of information on pressing topics in society. They give us information we wouldn't regularly know form everyday life. Most PSA's are there to warn/educate/get us involved in things that are big deals at that given moment in time. The more the topic becomes a negative issue, the more likely there is going to be a public service announcement about it.

My group thought of a couple topics to focus on including violence in north Minneapolis, teen pressure, sexting. We all decided that sexting was the best/ most promising topic. Since sexting is such an issue with teens now a days we thought it would be perfect. We have all seen it happen, and we have all heard rumors about it.

Our plan is to combine popular music and common situations such as being in school and texting your boyfriend/girlfriend to get the viewer to pay attention. We want teenagers to be attracted to our PSA, we want other teens to understand that sexting is a problem and that it isnt a smart thing to do because it can come back to bite you in the end.

Personally i just threw ideas out to my group members and we all decided on this one, we all agreed on everything. i gave out soem ideas on music choices and situations/ scenes for our PSA. it was a fairly even group effort, we all agree on everything and we all are content with our storyboard.
