PSAs: Advanced Script Work - Advanced Digital Video Production PBL Project
Students create a Public Service Announcement (PSA) video as if it is a "Message to the President," addressing an issue that they want to receive attention.
In doing so students research the necessary information for their script, including online and library resources, interviews with appropriate persons, and local connections. They create a detailed script and storyboard before shooting the video, and edit to add music, voiceover, images, and titles. Finished videos may be submitted for possible airing to local community broadcast channels, or to any online video competition.
Skills inherent in this project build competencies in occupations related to film and video production, a rapidly growing sector in the job market. A wide range of occupations require knowledge of video scripting, shooting, and editing.
