I learned a lot by doing the PSA assignment. I think I have the basics of editing down pretty good and I have a better eye for what fits together. I learned better how to put something together that will keep the viewers interest. Working with Alex and John helped me a lot. They were there when I was stuck on certain things or needed an opinion. The most challenging aspect of the unit was probably working and agreeing on things with my group. But we listened to each other and made final decisions together. I think our PSA could be improved by doing more research and maybe displaying more facts about the downsides of Adderall. Otherwise I think we got our project to its full potential.

I think once the PSA is completely edited it will be effective. By not making it overly dramatic it will be more believable and realistic. I don't think we'll end up using a whole lots of effects in the final. That can make things look cheesy and weird scene changing can get annoying really fast. It's going to take a lot of hours of editing to get a clean finish, but yes, I think it will be effective.

We are almost done with our draft. I'm really happy that we're ahead of the game. I am content with our draft, because it's supposed to be a rough copy of our final and that's basically what it is. The whole story is there, it just needs a little more work to be at it's full potential.

I'll write this as if I turned it in on time, because honestly I didn't. I'm sorry.
My group is doing quite well in the video production process. We were told by MTN that we were the second group to start and the group that started early had no choice really. So we're ahead of the game. We've made all deadlines and came out with an awesome story board. We still need to shoot about half of the footage, but it will be quite simple due to awesome planning. The only obstacle we've had is not being able to have the camera for very long periods of time and limited filming training.
