Reading Rocks - Public Service Announcement

PSA Blog

I have had a great opportunity to work in a group with Melissa McDaniel's and Courtney De Leon. We have worked on a Public Service Announcement for Literacy. As the weeks went by, first we collaborated on a team wikispace and brainstormed ideas for the PSA. Melissa was decided to shoot the video since she had access to her students. During the production stage, we all helped put it all together. I edited the audio using Audacity, Courtney edited the still images and superimposed the text over the images. After all the editing was done the video was again emailed to Melissa, which did the final touch ups and adjusted the final sound level. All the work that we put into this project was done with much discussion among us three through wikispaces, emails, and phone. We used the wiki for rough draft and edits, and we used google docs to post script and shot list. Much collaboration was done during the pre-production, the production, and the post production stages of this PSA.

Despite all the work, we are aware that we must give credit to all who deserve it. We have provided the appropriate copyright necessary. We included all credit at the end of the PSA. Like everything in life, we are human and we could have worked on better ways to improve the assignment. I think that for next time we could improve the PSA by possibly meeting in person and plan accordingly to better understand and facilitate each others suggestions.
