Squeaky Clean
PSA
We created a public service announcement (PSA) about the importance of washing your hands in school because this is essential for keeping everyone at our school safe and healthy. Although this may not seem like a concern to some, this is an essential part of keeping our school free of sickness and disease.
The audience for our PSA is the DCMS staff and student body. The video is going to be seen by the teachers and students who view our news show.
The purpose of our PSA is to raise awareness to wash your hands. This is crucial for the everyday lives of the students at this school. If we all washed our hands we could greatly reduce the spread of germs throughout our school.
To begin we brainstormed the overall project. We then settled on an idea, which was that washing your hands is crucial for the safety of everyone in our school, and to reduce sickness in our schools.
Then, we decided that the video would work best if we show the positive effects of washing your hands, and the happiness and joy you can experience from staying healthy. This will encourage others to wash their hands so that they are able to keep a safe school environment.
Next, we began filming the PSA with a focus on showing the benefits of washing your hands. We filmed every scene, with many different attempts, but eventually got the footage we needed for our video.
Finally, we edited the video using Canva to truly communicate the ideas we are trying to show to all viewers. We cut all unwanted footage out of our video, to demonstrate the idea of washing our hands in a much more certain way to all viewers.
A problem we encountered during recording was getting the correct dialogue to fit our needs in communicating our focus on how important it is to wash your hands. Without this dialogue the video would have no meaning for our viewers.
What we enjoyed most was the collaboration we all had to have in order to complete this project. We all had to work together, as a team, to truly find the success we were seeking. Although there were many challenges along the way, we knew that as long as we stuck together, we could complete any task, which in this instance was our PSA video.
