Week 5 Blog Post-PSA Production

After a long journey, we are finally finished! Our PSA is completed and is published on YouTube! Our PSA is geared towards parents and voters on how it is imperative for high school students to use technology in school.
We began in the second week, actually during a video conference with Dr. A. Sharron and Jeron were in on the conference, and Jeron messaged me to see if I wanted to join them. I agreed. Jeron and Sharron had done some work in the previous classes and were on Skype, so I immediately joined their Skype group! Summer joined the same night, and Vicki joined a few days later. Almost every night we Skyped to discuss our assignment, and quickly got the ball rolling. It was decided that I would do the script writing, Jeron would film, Summer and Vicki were in charge of the audio, and Sharron would do the editing and put the product together. Vicki posted the final product to YouTube as well. Although we were spread out all over Texas and Wyoming, we came together as a team well. Each person fulfilled his/her jobs, and if someone needed help on their assignment, we worked and did edits together over Skype as well as edited our official production page via Google Docs. When it came to revising the script, reviewing the audio, or revisiting the video, no one took offense any editing or changing of the production that took place. The hardest part was condensing our video-but ensuring our message wasn’t deterred. In Week Four, our video was around 1:15, and we needed to cut it down! Thanks to Summer and Vicki for re-recording their parts and a group effort in re-editing the script in the final week. We succeeded and got the PSA down to under sixty seconds! Jeron did a great job filming the clips and Sharron edited the pieces together seamlessly and effectively. If there was something that we could have improved our PSA, it would be for it to be longer so we could have more information and film to prove our case!

If I had to start over and do this project again, I would definitely choose to work with every person on my team again. I know that we will continue to Skype and help each other out with future projects.
