PSA Summary

    In media arts, we learned how to make a public service announcement with help from San Francisco's Film Society. We split into groups and I was paired with Luz and Stephanie. Our subject was something like making the world a better place. On the first day of making the PSA, I was a little confused on how we should make the script and where we were going to find the pictures because we had to take them ourselves for copyright reasons. So, we started making a script, filming, finding the music, and taking the pictures.


     After we finished everything, we started to edit the PSA. The most hard part of the PSA for me would be editing and filming. All of us at least messed up once on our parts and editing took a lot of time, concentration, and work. We had to add and remove stuff, make the music fit in with our voices, fix the pictures we took, etc...  I guess all of the work payed off because it turned out to look pretty good. I'm glad that the San Francisco Film Society helped us when we were stuck. I thought that this was a great experience because we learned some of the camera shots such as close-ups, long-shots, and medium-shots.

PSA Assignment

     For our PSA, the person who will take pictures will be Jessie. Our audience for this PSA will be people of our own age like (12-17). The props that we need will be a Itouch, Converse (shoes), and skinny jeans.  Luz will be editing the PSA after we finished filming and Stephanie will be finding the music and getting some of the props.

M.C Escher Assignment

      Today in media arts, we looked at one of MC Escher's pictures called "Relativity." We all found 3 perspectives in "Relativity" and you are able to locate all 3 of them if you look close enough. When I first saw this piece of art, it was a bit hard to see all the perspectives and confusing. I thought it was overall fun, challenging, and interesting to do because it made me look carefully on what kind of tesselation this is.
