3. What are five potential PSAs that you think are needed for your target age group (teens). (this is a list)
4. Select three of these ideas and tell me how you would approach it if you were assigned this as a PSA.

A Public Service announcement is a type of advertisement that can be seen on TV, radio, print or in other media.This advertisements are made to help the people by educating and informing. The most common topics of PSA are health and safety but there are more. The army of the USA uses PSA in order to recruit people.

The first guy that I want to work with is with Raul. I Had work with him in many projects and we understand each other very good. We are also very good friends. We can do cool videos together because we arrive to interesting ideas. He is also very good at making videos in the computer by putting all the effects etc. The second option to be with is Xime. She is a very goo friend of mine and we work very good together. We haven't work together by doing a video but I think is going to be alright. She is very good in acting and performing things. The third option is pedro pablo. He is also a very friend of mine and we can do many cool things together. He is the third option because he is a little lazy by doing work but he is alright.

• how aids is transmitted
  
• How obesity is bad for your health
• Drugs killing you

• education

Education- I would approach this subject by first showing teens in the streets without education and then the same guys but in the future ruin in their lives without a job and without money or food. In the end I would inform about the necessity of edcuation in life and how it is so important in order to become something hear in our world.

Drugs- I would approach this subject by showing people in the streets all ruin by the drugs with the face pale and all skinny. Then I would inform how it is bad etc.

obesity- I would approach this subject by showing a fat guy walking and everybody laughing at him. Then I would put what would happen if he wouldn't hat eaten the junk food inn his refrigerator .

My commercial

The video that I saw about the Pepsi commercial would help me a lot by doing my commercial for the computer project.My commercial that I'm going to do is going to be about Nike and how some Nike shoes can actually help you to be better on sports. I am thinking to be with Raul. First someone is going to use other type of shoes and he is going to start playing soccer or basketball. Than another person would do the same but now by using the Nike shoes and he would actually do it better with more skills etc. We would going to do many types of sports like basketball, soccer skateboard, running,doing elasticity, jumping etc.

Pepsi commercial

I saw many commercials and the one that I love the most was the Pepsi. I found it very original and also very cool watching professional soccer players play on the beach. The video first starts with David Beckham, Ronaldinho, Roberto Carlos, Raul and Torres playing volleyball with the fit. Than some surfers kick their ball to the ocean and they started playing soccer instead in the water surfing. Mean while, Thierry Henry instead of surfing he is with some girls drinking Pepsi. This commercial stick in to my mind and it leave me a great desire to go to the beach with some friends, with some drinks and to play soccer all together. This isn't the only commercial that has stick very hard into my mind but I like it a lot.

Romeo and Juliet

In English class with Miss. Baren, we need to make a project with a group of two or more members that consisted in doing a comic book about Romeo and Juliet. We only did a specific act per group. My group was Feris, Marifer and I. We made act 2 and it was a very difficult and funny at the same time. All the days that it took to finish the comic book in comic life were all in computer's class. It helped us a lot being able to use computers to find Spark notes to understand better the play with other words/synonyms etc. By using spark notes and also my text book, I choose all the dialogues and quotes to put it in our comic. Then we went to Feris house to take the photos of what was happening in act 2. Feris house perfectly fit in with the setting of act 2 because it had a balcony, a very cool room that was a little baroque like in that time and a lot of customs. Finally we plugged the pictures to the computers on the school and started doing the comic by writing the dialogues and the narrations. As I already said, this project very difficult but fun at the same time. It stressed me a lot during the project because some of my partners didn't came to school and Feris one's forgot the photos in his house. I think that our project deserves to be put in the library because it is understandable and funny.

Comics are a good way to learn about serious literature like Romeo and Juliet. We made this project as a comic book to summarize the story of Romeo and Juliet and also to be funny. I know that we don't read comics usually to learn something but it can work in that way. Usually comics are cartoon characters with a purpose to entertain the reader with adventures, suspense, death, fights ect but it can be also to teach something, why not?

A day on the bay

In computer class, we made some videos about what we might do if we only live a day in a bay, in PV. My video consist on many photos and short clips that only lasted not more than 10 seconds. I really love this project because I got a lot of fun by making the video and by taking the photos and the short clips. It also helped me to developed my creativity. The theme of my video is FAMILY. I choose that theme because I think that if we only have one day to live I would be spending my time with my family that is the most important thing for me that I love. In the beginning, I thought of many other themes like friends, nature and sports but something happened that let me to only one option FAMILY. I left the homework of taking photos and short clips to the end so because of that, in the last day of the long weekend went with my family to La Estancia to eat all together. I took advantage of that moment to do it.

The process of making my video was very long and a liitle difficult but fun. I first, I took the photos from my iphone and the short clips from my sister iphone. Than I download it to my computer (mac) by using iphoto. I made the video by using imovie. Mr. Picketts wanted us to have in our video 5 photos at least from others so by doing that, I used Raul's USB to translate the 4 photos from the classroom computer to my mac. I got a lot of fun by making my video.
