Bullying Video

The topic of our public service announcement is Bullying. We chose too base the video on Snehals poster which was mostly about name calling. The target auidence is teens and how bullying makes them feel lonely. It shows what many teen girls face everyday and the horrible names that they are called. Bullying effects you no matter what and changes your life. The slogan at the beginning which says " sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me...or will they? ". This is saying that this girl tryed to act tough but in the end the name calling really did hurt. We put in pictures of bandaids with names written on them. We did this to symoblize that underneath the names the girl was cut and really hurt. I think this video would help people that bully realized how much it hurts and how it makes you feel. The music really sets the mood of the video by making it seem sad.

Bullying posters

bullying is theme that my posters on. The poster effects everyone but is directed towards teens. It is saying that most teens that get bullyed acts like they dont care and it doesnt bother but deep down its killing them. It is a harsh poster by giving the worst posibilty of what bullying can lead too. I used the statistic Suicide is the 6th most common cause of death in teens due to bullying. By saying this message i would hope that bullies will see and think wow bullying really does hurt and lead to terrible things.
Some of the things i changed in these posters were colour,font and placing of the font. In all the poster the saying is "she acted tough like she didnt care" this is saying that there are so many people that get bullyed and act like they dont care but deep down there dying. In the first poster i used read font because it symbolizes depression and sadness. I used a font that stands out and made the words TOUGH and Care big.At the bottom i put BULLYING HURTS in capitals because it is the main message. In the second poster i dont think the message is as clear by the way the words are placed i dont think it is as easy to read. I think the poster is not as good becuase i dont like how the words on a slant look and red font suits the mood better. The first poster is the best because it gets the message across very easily. Just by looking at the poster the bullying hurts stands out and the image potrays that the girl is lonely and feels upset. Once you read the saying it is easy to understand how the girl feels.

Bullying

My poster will be about the issue of bullying. It will be intended towards teens, I think this is a major issue for all teenagers today.
What is a bully? Bullying is when a person or group tries to hurt or control another person in a harmfull way. The three types of bullying are cyber,physical and psychological.Why do people bully? At least one of these types of bullying is seen daily in all schools. Bullies are often bullied themeslves or were once bullied in there life. People bully to get attention and think it makes them look cool. They take out their unhappiness on others and feel no responsibilty for their actions.
Bullying should be stopped. Stand up,dont stand back. Tell someone about it. Do anything you need to do to stop bullying.My poster will be intended toward teenagers and will be mainly about what you can do to stop bullying.

Getting Creative

Getting creative with your video camera is a major thing in making a video from boring to interesting. Many Vedeographers forget to be creative and just simply shoot.Before you start shooting take a couple minutes to be creative and think about how to improve your video.Instead of shooting from the same level the whole video try to get up high or place the camera on the ground and get down low. Most people would just stand were they are and shoot to be comfortable but to have a good video you may have to get up close to the subject.Dont just shoot a tight shot,go super tight.It will improve the video by shooting from the right perspective for example if you are filming a toddler shoot from a low perspective. Most videos are shot from tripod or eye level which makes it boring. I think this was an interesting article because it reminded me that everytime i shoot i should think first before shooting and try to make it ore interesting. One thing that i didnt like about the article was that the person kept mentioning about a tripod and how to be creative with a tripod but what if you dont have a tripod? Overall i think this was a helpfull article.

Video Sequencing

sequencing is one of the main points of all video story telling.Sequences compress time.Proper sequencing gives the editor a better way to tell the story by using wide,medium and tight shots.Sequencing helps compress time in a video.For example something that would take 3 minutes in real life we would not show that in a video,we would only show a short clip of it.Anticipating the action is key in video and knowing were to be at the right time.Make sure to shoot a variety of shoots.weight your shots to the tight and super tight end of the shooting spectrum
