Progress Journal for PSA

Up until we finished our final draft of our public service announcement, we had a progress journal where we reflected our ideas and changes to the project in order to make it better. Throughout the preparation of this group presentation, I have gained a lot of knowledge about abandoned children in China. It is unfortunate that young orphans in this country are treated very poorly and given very little chance to live.Unlike in the United States, China does not allow families to have more than one child per household, therefore, millions of babies are aborted and unwanted.

We viewed several PSA’s that we found on the internet through the AD council. After viewing these powerful service announcements, we collected several new tactics and ideas that would help make our project really beneficial and powerful.

We began starting our PSA in imovie. We searched for pictures of Abandon children in China, that we could use in our project. After collecting plenty of pictures we began editing the pictures and arranging them in imovie, to create the first part of our PSA.
