Effective PSA?

I believe when we are all done with our PSA that it could actually have an impact on whoever see's it. It will depend on where we show it, and if we possibly put it on the south website and add a link to send in requests/questions. We have a strong story and a open opinioned topic so it will be effective to the peolpe who take it that way.

Falling Polar Bears

I believe that we are on the right track to making a successful PSA. We have been working hard on connecting a story behind a well fought subject and the target audience we have chosen will make the whole idea even more strong. I hope that our PSA turns out as a affective impact on whomever is watching it.

The most challenging part of the PSA right now has been mapping out all of these shots and making them work with everyone in the group, sense we have a bit of a large group we have some people doing stuff and some people waiting to do stuff. But as soon as we start filming and getting the enitre PSA set up things will change and it will work out fine.

i believe that our pitch went alright, we did a very good job on catching everyones attention and while doing this it was entertaining. the only downfall to our pitch was we didnt throw the smaller details into it like we did in our practice pitch. we have all of the smaller things in our actuall idea, and it doesnt mean to look like an apple commercial so we will take those thoughts in and use them to our advantage.

An effective advertisement campaign that I have seen alot is Apple (or Mac's) commercials. They have exploded in production and sales in the last 5 years, and their witty competition with PC has flipped many Dell users over to Mac's. Also they have the dancing campaign where they have people listening to ipods and dancing. This sounds very simple but it put out the brands identity and now people know of Apple as the company with the Ipods. Simple advertising has effected the spending of millions sense the early 19th century. From small bars putting flyers out for Ladies night, to multi million dollar companies putting out superbowl ads.

What have you learned from the last two MTN presentations? what clip do you plan on using for your visual communications critique? why is media literacy important?

           During the last couple of MTN days in class we went over alot of the things that i had learned over the last two years in my advertising class and during my internship at the target advertising corporation this summer. The smaller things that I needed to go over again to spark my imagination to help make the upcoming videos that we are making even better. I am most likely going to use a superbowl commercial for my visual communications critique because those are the most expensive advertisements, which also means that they are the most thought over advertisements. These are the ads that can be broken down to very complex thoughts and ideas. Media literacy is incredibly important because as of right now, advertising is pretty much controlling the economy in a mind of spending margines. if you go to japan and look at the sides of every building in tokyo, you will see that everything is covered in ads. Companies are spending millions of dollars putting out 30 second tv ads just to promote their products. If it wasnt for Media litteracy people wouldnt be able to understand any ads on tv, on billboards, in magezines, on radio, etc. etc. therefor the products of millions of companies wouldnt sell.
