Project #2: FINAL “Cars” PSA Project - In Teams

Our goal: To write and produce a Public Service Announcement on any CARS, CULTURE, AND MEDIA topic of your choice, related to our course texts, conversations and films. This assignment is due by Thursday, November 14 for presentation to the class.

Challenge: In small groups of 3-5 students, you will be scripting, storyboarding and filming your 1 minute video, intended to educate/entertain your audience with a focus on your selected CARS theme.

By Thursday, October 24 - sign up your group at this course blog thread by posting your group members below, the name of your production team, and your initial idea. Be prepared to share these in class. NOTE-->Make sure at least one person in your group has access to a video camera of some sort, and/or editing experience (or knows someone who does!)

Your PSAs will be assessed for:

1. LENGTH --> 1 minute in length. (Give or take 5 seconds).

2. CONTENT-->Educational/Entertainment content.

3. PERSUASION-->Effective use of our persuasive techniques.

4. PRODUCTION-->Effective use of props, visuals, sound, lighting, movement and text.

You will submit your final video to our course blog via a YouTube embedded link and provide a summary of your experience in a personal blog reflection on the process and your learning (which I will post soon).
