Public+Service+Announcement!

Public Service Announcement Pre-production : In this phase we “met” in cyberspace via Skype and Google Docs Chat. All of the tools we use to meet were fantastic and very user friendly. It was great to show ideas to one another using these tools. We were able to edit things that each other had already written and do this in real time. It was like four people using the same computer! Production : We each volunteered for tasks that we felt comfortable completing. Being a videographer made me quite nervous (even though I usually love being behind the camera. The job as the editor seemed perfect for me!   Post-production process : This part of the project was a bit more challenging. When it was my turn to do the editing we had trouble with the program. We used Windows Movie Maker to create our PSA. After the first editor worked her magic, she sent it to me. Unfortunately the video and audio would not “link” on my computer. When she sent me the document the link to her files was broken and therefore would not work. It was very frustrating. We did end up going to plan be and reworking the movie.    Shot and editing selection : We agreed very quickly on the shots and pictures that we felt were important in reinforcing our message     Web delivery formatting decisions : We decided to share using You Send It. This worked well for all of us and did not experience any technical issues at all. Improvements : I honestly can say that I am really proud of our PSA. We created a very professional piece of multimedia. The message was clear and powerful. Identify copyright attribution for assets : We had quite a few sites that we gathered information from. They include the following: http://www.1bcs.org/index.php http://www.newswise.com/images/uploads/2009/07/24/fullsize/dropouts.jpg http://www.universities-weblog.com/50226711/istock_5390639.jpg http://www.minnpost.com/artsarena/2009/07/09/10139/new_exhibit_at_the_mpls_photo_center_puts_a_face_on_21st_century_poverty_in_america www.commons.wikimedia.org www.freeplaymusic.com http://www.nccp.org/profiles/state_profile.php?state=TX&id=6 http://www.nccp.org/profiles/state_profile.php?state=TX&id=6 http://www.texaspolicy.com/pdf/2007-01-30-HC-JS.pdf ttp://www.idra.org/Research/Attrition/ National-http://www.nccp.org/tools/demographics/ Our Collaboration : Wow! We all worked awesome together. I really appreciate and respect all of the input from each group member. We did not have a single conflict during the whole process. It was an absolute pleasure to work with all of these ladies! Not only did we create something awesome, but we had fun doing so! ** media type="file" key="FINAL PROJECT SAVE!!!!!!.wmv" width="300" height="300"
