PSA Blog #4
My group is currently in the planning phase of our project. Our storyboard is done and should be easy to follow. This could potentially be shot in one night. We just need to figure out when and where we are filming as well as a few lines of dialog. We still need to check out equipment, film, and edit. We all agree on our idea and how it should be carried out. The obstacles we are facing include Finding out where to film and finding a time when we are all available to film. Based on the Sunday editing sessions we will definitely have some disagreements on the shots we choose to use. It wasn't that bad though and should be easier because we have a concrete plan.

PSA Blog #3
The biggest challenge my group has faced so far on this PSA project has been finding a way to convey our message showcasing the negative effects of sleep deprivation while keeping the audience entertained. We are going to use a character that punches people in the face for staying up too late to add some comedy to our message. We hope to do this without losing the seriousness of our message. Another smaller challenge has been with the story board. We do not have anyone in our group who is very talented in art. Fintan's drawings are the best we can do. We seem to be working well as a group so far. I think that has been crucial and will continue to be crucial in the success of our project.

I thought my group's PSA went well. We got some good feedback and now have some good new ideas to incorporate into our PSA. It should be easy to film when it's dark outside because of the time change. I thought my group did a nice job of laying out the plot and facts of sleep deprivation but we will need to learn more information about our topic in order to make a strong PSA. Our topic is important because it negatively impacts a large group of people, especially high school students, who also happen to be our target audience. We will appeal to our target audience through humor, but maintaining a strong connection to our message.
