PSA video reflection

The PSA I was assigned to do was safe sex. I believe that it turned out pretty well. Mahonty and I did it last Friday with help of Ximena and Courtney. The videos were shot behind the house of my classmate Mahonry and in his room. It took us to shot everything in about an hour. For the editing, I finished after 30 minutes. At the end Mahonry and I were satisfied with our work and even other people in the class that were watching it think the same. For the project we did 2 videos, about 2:45 min and another one that was sent for marking of 1:30 min plus 4 secs of credits. Even though it was good i still think that the longer version we did was much better.

When watching my video I always look for things that I can change and for this one I specifically found many. First, I would reduce the movement of the camera when following the car. another thing I would do is repeat the scene when Mahonry talks. Anohter possibilty would be adding subtitles for more clearness. The last thing I would change is the number of actors. I personally think that we needed more actors to form a better "party". Besides adding more scenes the rest of the video came out perfect.

At the start of the class I saw all my classmates videos so I could choose the winner. The video I chose for winning was Debora and Jade`s. Their topic was ¨ does drinking affect the ones around you?¨ The video itself is about a girl that parties and drinks and does not care about her grades or the other outcomes that could affect their family and friends. Something I think they could change was the moving of the camera. The shots are to shaky and sometimes unfocused But I also think that it was somehow in purpose to represent the crazy party. Besides that the rest of the video was well made with: Great story, good scenery and awesome editing. I really would like to congratulate them.
