We are currently stalled in our video making process. We have everything planned but need to start filming. We need to all get together and plan when to get together. I has really been nice that we agree on the direction of our PSA. The biggest obstacle is probably going to be the editing and making our video effective.

I hardest part so far and I think it will continue to be is planning the small details in the film. From analyzing the PSAs in class I learned that the little details in a film really make the difference. In our video we need to make sure that the little details support our message and aren't saying something different.

The pitch went okay. It was difficult to summarize the PSA with just the right amount of detail to show our message. The responses to our pitch were that it sounded more like a ipod advertisement. So we need to be conscious of this and slightly change what we are going to do. The feedback was however all and all helpful.

Our PSA is more directed to the South High School community than the general public. However the topic is very relevant and people will be very interested. There is a debate going on about the electronic policy and this PSA will help the argument to allow the use of electronics.

Our target audience is really to the administration. We want them to change the rules about using electronics. We need to include ideas and details that are related to their interests. For example, the administration wants us to learn relevant information so if we show that text books can't provide that and electronics can it will benefit our PSA.
