The Girl Effect

This PSA showed that you don't really need any fancy pictures/footage to get a point across. The text that was used did not change the font either. By using text for the PSA, the video was straight forward and simple.

The Empty Seat

It was really clever how this PSA showed the growing rate of suicide. The video showed common activities that are taken place in a High School, like people in playing a band or in class. In every scene, there was always someone missing. The missing places were teens who have committed suicide.
 
The article:

The KAB points out that it is important to show relevance to a mass audience and importance to the target audience. This is a good tip to keep in mind when I am making my PSA, because then it will serve as a guideline to the script. Also it is important to keep in mind that the goal of a PSA is to get someone to take action, and not to talk about an organization. 

My PSA:

The PSA that I will be producing will emphasize on the statement that beauty is everywhere and is not exclusive to advertisements. I plan on using texts to get my message across, but this idea may change in the future. I most likely will be making a video, but I am also open to the idea of a poster. 

Entry 1: Capstone Project Statement of Intent

a) The goal of my capstone is to emphasize the difference between photoshopped and non photoshopped images of woman to show that images presented in magazines are not real.

b) Advertisements are all over the place that display unrealistic photo shopped images of woman. My senior project will show that these images are not real by displaying unprocessed/ non photoshopped pictures of woman.

c) Why should anyone care about the discouragement from photoshopped pictures? They are just pictures right? When woman are constantly faced with images that are unrealistic in terms of appearance, that will cause health problems like depression and eating disorders. By showing woman images that are not photoshopped it will send a message saying that no one has to live up to unrealistic expectations, therefore decreasing the number of cases with depression and eating disorders.

d) My senior project will give back to the community by encouraging more art in the area, and it will send a message that beauty is everywhere.
