Q: What is the role of public service announcements in our media culture? What are some of the topics your group thought of for your PSA? What is your groups plan for your PSA? What role did you play when creating the plan?
A: Public service announcements play an important role in exposing and fixing social issues. Obvious examples are the "above the influence" PSAs dealing with teen drug use and alcohol abuse. I think their campaigns are successful because their PSAs are thought-out and creative. Two topics my group thought of right off the bat were the use and importance of AEDs and the importance of self-expression. We chose the expressing yourself topic, and we plan on showing the importance and benefits of self-expression by showing a boy, played by Josh, breaking out of a clothing norm and expressing himself by wearing something he likes and feels like it shows what kind of person he really is. I played a large part in drafting the PSA with a loose plan for our pitch and the subject matter of our PSA.
