The last assignment for EDLD 5363 Multimedia Video Tech was to work with a group and create a PSA. The group comprised 5 people all in different parts of the state/country. We had two weeks to create the PSA and were given some very simple guidelines. The video needed to be 60 seconds and everybody had to participate in some way.
Our group started off a little rough, mainly because we didn't know each other and we are all working on different timelines. I am a bit of a procrastinator, but one of our group members was leaving out of the country before the end of the class. So he was pushing to get it done. This motivated me and the other members to get in gear and create something.
We started slow on the ideas, but the Prof suggested AGAINST "Cyber-Bullying" so we went with "Texting." I'm also a bit of a jokester and I figured if we had to make a PSA we should have some fun with it. So we took the serious topic of excessive texting and went of the deep-end with it. I think the result is hilarious.
My group pulled it together and got everything done. It was a little scattered at times, but it worked. In the future I think it would be beneficial to:
1) Know your group members before hand, or try to build in some "get-to-know-you" activities if the groups are randomly assigned
2) Set a timeline of events and meetings. Try to coordinate with everyone's schedules
3) Web conference with people to be able to see their faces. I was able to do this with one of the team members and it made it much easier to relate to him.
A special thanks goes out to Shawn P. His video editing skills are what really put this assignment over the top.
