Design

The three design for the PSA are similar. The first design has a news theme. It includes a live introduction by Andrea and I. We will be saying what the purpose of the PSA is. Next we will present a chart or graph with information about Digital Access in the United States. Then, to appeal to the emotions, a picture of low technology communities will show up. A text below it will say a statistic of how many homes do not have access to the Internet. Also, the video will have another part with a quick list of interesting facts. The second video sample is more informative than the first because it will have more pictures and facts than the first. The background music is suspenseful, so that in the end the last scene will compare how China is way ahead of us technology wise. Our final design is the one that we have chosen.

Plan

We have created a Gantt chart to stay organized and on track. It show that on the first two days we were to dedicate our time to research on our topic. By the end of hthe two days, we should have gathered all ten facts for the PSA. This information was useful to create a brochure on the next two days. During the break, we planned to design the video by completing a storyboard. The story board too about two days also to finish. The remainder days up to December 16 we will be working on the create part. Creating the PSA will take more time because it will have to meet every single requirement on the rubric. The day that we come back from Christmas Break we will be ready to evaluate our product. Our goal is to be on schedule so that we will have completed our PSA before we leave for the Break.

OBJECTIVE; Today I will create the WORD document that I will print as my

process journal at the end of this project.

Plan Reflection-11/29/11

     Today, Andrea and I plan to set up the different sections from iMovie. We will choose the theme for the project and de decide what facts and pictures we will include in the video. Our goal is to have the facts and statistics ready to go for next class.
     We discussed what theme fit best to our topic and decided to use the News theme. It will be easier to put in the pictures and include a voiceover. We were able to evaluate our choice against the specifications and gave reason to why it's best.
     For next class, we planned to come prepared to actually begin collecting the pictures we will use and put in order the facts, statistics and quotes. We also agreed to split the work and bring in a portion of the facts and statistics we will use.
     I gave myself a grade of 5 on criterion F because it includes the information and pictures that are necessary. It also meets all the requirements presented in the rubric.

Design Brief 11/17/11

Problem:
The problem presented is about digital access. To solve the problem, I will create a PSA and poster to raise awareness on how and why to improve digital access.
Concept:
The message is going to be to everyone in the world with and without digital access. The point is to make the viewer realize what they are missing out technology wise.

To make the PSA I will be using iMovie or vimeo.com. The music will most likely be calm and suspenseful.
