Evaluate the PSA project unit—what did you learn? What helped you to learn? What was the most challenging aspect of the unit? How could the unit be improved?
I learned many things by doing this PSA project. I learned many valuable camera and editing skills that I will hopefully be able to use later on in life. I also learned how to better work with others.
The editing sessions at MTN definitely helped me learn camera and editing skills, and having someone there to help us with our ideas when we were editing was definitely also a huge help.
Making a PSA project and having so many different ideas and opinions to sort through and consider was definitely the most challenging part. Luckily, we didn't have very many disagreements throughout the process, but the few we did have were pretty big.
There really isn't much room for improvement for this project, I think. We had enough time to complete the project, and enough resources to get it done. Neil and Ms. Hodge were both very flexible with us missing class to go film/edit, and I really don't have any complaints when it came to completing this project.

PSA Project Blog Entry #6
Overall, do you think your PSA is effective? Why or why not?
I do think that our PSA is effective. I believe that texting and driving is a huge issue not only among teens, but everyone. I feel like people don't take texting and driving as seriously as they should, so in our PSA, we compare it to things that you would never do like have your dog drive your car, drive blindfolded, or read while you're driving. By comparing texting and driving to these things, we are showing how ridiculous and truly dangerous texting and driving is, which was our goal in making this PSA.

PSA Project Blog Entry #5
Are you content with the draft of your group's PSA? Why or why not?
Well, we haven't edited our PSA yet, but we have filmed most of the shots for it. Although we haven't filmed all of our PSA, and we aren't gonna have the first PSA in our draft (because we didn't have enough time to film it before the camera was due back), I am pretty content in the filming process. We have a lot of short shots in our PSA, so for how many shots we have, I think that we did a good job of getting most of them done before the final draft is due. I would have liked to have all of the filming done, but not all of us were able to get together all the time do to jobs, college apps, etc. We've scheduled our editing time for Sunday 4-8, so I definitely think that'll be enough time for us to edit our draft.
