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 group's plan for your PSA? What role did you play in creating the plan?
Public service announcements play an important role in our media culture. They inform us of different issues that are relevant to what is happening, and give us possible solutions for those issues.
Our main topic that we came up with was texting and driving, because that is a huge issue that we face daily. Although we knew that this subject had already been done, we felt that many people still didn't understand the possible consequences of texting and driving, and that they take it too lightly.
Many texting and driving ads we see today focus on teens, mainly females. We want to make a PSA that will not only target teens, but adults as well. We're planning on comparing texting and driving to various things you wouldn't do behind the wheel. We'll start with humorous things such as letting your dog drive, or driving blindfolded. Then we will move on to more serious things like drinking and driving, and then end with someone texting and driving, and we will show a possible result to texting and driving.
Along with my other group members, I helped in coming up with the initial idea of having texting and driving as our topic. Nobody in our group did one specific thing, we all worked together to come up with the idea, and making it a little bit different than the other ads by comparing it to other things you would never do behind the wheel.
