Public Service Announcements

What are we looking for?

WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Public Service Announcements

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Learning to create Public Service Announcements (PSAs) in videography class is crucial because it teaches students how to combine technical production skills—such as cinematography, editing, and audio design—with persuasive storytelling to influence, educate, or raise awareness about social issues. It fosters critical thinking and creative problem-solving by forcing concise messaging.

HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will follow along with instruction and use what we have learned to create amazing videos!

Note: All PSA's must be school appropriate!
