Reflection

What is your plan today to create & begin your PSA using your storyboard? What did you do today on your PSA? What is your plan for next time? What grade would you give yourself using your attitudes in technology Criterion F.

My plan to create and begin the PSA is to get together with my teammate Daniela Ramirez and discuss with each other our ideas. I'd really like it if we could cooperate well and agree on what story we'd like to use for the PSA. I plan to discuss my ideas and set reachable goals on our project. By communicating as a team and working together, creating this PSA will be easier. Today, we each will create a storyboard of our ideas and then try to mix them together.

Today we discussed out ideas. Daniela had some rally good ideas on the PSA. She wants to do a story of a person receiving a phone call from a company. That person gives them their personal information and later tells her husband who informs her that the company was fake. SHe then files and identity theft report to the police. I think it's a good idea but I want to include my part in the story as well. Instead of a husband and wife story, I'd like to use us as the person the identity is stolen from. Identity theft can happen to anyone and it is something everyone should be aware about. I'd like to do a story of a student whose identity is stolen and finds out about it when they attempt to apply for a student loan but it's rejected because of their bad credit reports.

Using the Attitudes in Technology Criterion F Rubric, I would give myself a 100 because Daniela and i are working well together to make the PSA the best it can be. By communicating and respecting each others ideas, we are able to advance in the creation of the PSA. We've got out ideas down and we need to organize ourselves so that in our next class we are able to start the storyboard to the actual video. We can also gather props and get all the actors needed for the completion of the PSA. I look forward to working with my teammate and making a beast video to raise awareness on IDentity Theft and help people be prepared against thieves.

Extra Credit

For my PSA I need to start planning myself better. I need to make a sketch of whta I'd kinda like my PSA to look like and find some good actors to play the parts. I need to edit my facts so that they are paraphrased and ready to insert in the video which can save me time in the future.

Public Service Announcement

Public Service Announcements (PSA’s) educate people about issues that people have to deal with in life. PSA’s give people information about issues so they can think about them and take positive actions. You will produce your own PSA, lasting 20 to 30 seconds. Your PSA must deliver a short but strong message about any Digital Citizenship Topic, one of the nine.

You have just been hired by channel 5 news. Your first job is to make a public service announcement. Come up with a topic and research your idea. You must then create a storyboard that is clear and explains exactly what is going to be in your public service announcement. When you are finished your storyboard you must have it approved by the manger of the station Mrs. Hinojosa. Once she clears you, you may start creating your video using iMovie. Make sure your introduction motivates and hooks the viewer from the beginning of the video and keep his/her attention to the end. Read below for some tips.

* Your public service announcement should...

1.You must write down where your pictures came from on your assignment paper in the space provided for you. As soon as you take a picture off the internet write where it came from, do not wait until your project is done. Copyrighted information for photos, graphics and music must be clearly identified by source.

2.The introduction needs to motivate and hook the viewer from the beginning of the video and keep his/her attention to the end.

3.Please complete the rough draft story board first and while you create your computer project fill out the final story board.

4.The PSA must move smoothly from shot to shot and be edited with high quality shots.

5.Background audio must be kept low and not overpower the primary audio, please make sure it goes along with your project information.

6.The content of the service announcement needs to include a clear statement or theme and it must be creative and compelling to the audience.

7.All scenes must have sufficient lighting for viewer to easily see the project. • All shots must be clearly focused and well framed.

8.The graphics, sound and or animation must assist in presenting an overall theme that appeals to the audience and enhances your service announcement with a high impact message.

9.Graphics, fonts, special effects, and sound must be clear and big enough to read. They must explain and reinforce key points during the presentation. All text must be held on the screen long enough for it to be read.

10. All video clips should fit the story line. Clips should not be too long or to short.

You must tell me where all pictures you took off

the internet came from. DO NOT say they came from Google or any search engine! You must write down the exact address they came from!

Homework

How does your topic impact your future digital footprint?

My topic impacts my digital footprint because it is a serious matter. By simply plagerizing on a paper by not citing my sources is considered breaking the law. If the law is brokn then there are consequences which could be jail time or stain in your personal record that could prevent you from getting a job in the future.

You must post a complete paragraph explaining your progress today.

Today I researched my topic which is Digital Law. I looked for 10 facts and cited my source so I wouldn't plagerize. I need to find more sources that cover other topics besides Identity Theft to be able to reach out to a larger audience and give information better. I also need to go back and rephrase the facts to save me time later on when I am doing the PSA.
