Bullying PSA



  • This is our Psa on Name calling.The video was trying to portray that "sticks and stones may break my bone's but names will never hurt me" or will they? This quote is not true because names do hurt people and this is what our video is trying to show. The audience of this video would probably be teenagers in high school and it makes them stop calling names because it really hurts.It makes the audience think more about the issue.Also that Name calling does hurt people and it can cause the victim to do things that can hurt themselves. The girl who is getting names called at her, her face shows how she is isolated in the corner and her face is telling a story about how she is lonely and really upset. The people that are calling her these names are examples of name calling.
  • We filmed this video by taking a variety of shots from different angles. We tried to take a variety of different emotions so we can choose from the different clips. We used a message a the beginning and the end to show emotion in the video and make the point. We also added a song in the back round to add a good effect and lowered the music when we talked.
  • For this video i helped with the filming and acting and moving the light for more effect. I also edited some of the video with the wording at the beginning and the end and helped with the placement of cutting the video and placing it in specific spots.
  • Overall i think that this video send a very clear massage to the teens out there that are actually name calling and hurting people that are innocent.

      Bullying poster

      The third one is the best poster becasue the text stands out more then the other three, and because its very important to understand. Also i put the website in it so then people who get bullied can go to the website and get help. The poster also makes people think and makes people realize that names can actually hurt people and its true. The picture also shows the two girls in the back that are bullying the one girl because they have thier hands over their mouths and it looks like they are talking shit about her. the white colour on the text that says "Or will they" stands out on the blue backround. I like the third one also because the words are not all cluttered in one place.

      Bullying!!!

      The topic we chose for my poster is bullying. Bullying is when a person is picked on over and over again by an individual or group with more power, either in terms of physical strength or social standing. “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me”. This is a quote but it’s not really true because name calling can hurt people. Teenage girls are afraid to go to school because they are scared they are going to get bullied. Girls get bullied often by other girls. Bullies often pick on people they are jealous of, girls who don’t fight back, People who seem “different” from themselves or their friends, Teens who may be “richer” or “poorer” than the bully or girls with disabilities. These are many reasons why girls bully other girls. This is why we picked this topic because it is a big issue in many schools. sunnie25 :)

      Get creative with your video camera

      • To get creative with your video camera get on your knees or climb a tree. Take the viewer to a place they wouldn’t normally go. The ground also serves as a decent tripod. Shooting high will give you a good shot that you know you need.
      • Don’t just shoot a tight shot. Instead, go super tight–as tight as your lens can focus tight. These shots are great because they are as visually jarring as they are visually interesting. They also make for excellent transitions between scenes.
      • Look for that subject perspective shot. An example of this would be a shot following the feet of a mailman trudging through snow, or following a toddler around from their low perspective.
      • Let the action leave or enter your frame. When you do this it allows you to compress time in your video. You can quickly transition to a different scene after the subject leaves the frame.
      • You can also turn off your autofocus and try a manual shift-focus shot. Try starting with a blurry shot, and then quickly bring your subject into focus.
      • Or try racking your focus from a foreground subject to a background subject. It is pretty effective when done right.
      • Layer your shots with foreground elements, just like you would as a still shooter. They are more complex to see, but done well, they really ratchet up the visual variety of your video. These are some great ways that you can get creative with your camera. sunnie25 :)

      video summary

      I watched this video called adult dodge ball it showed how many adult women and men played dodge ball in a very large gym just for fun in their free time every Wednesday. But before they showed the dodge ball part they showed some small clips of a bunch of teenagers playing basketball. They might have shown this because they want the audience to no what they always used to play before dodge ball started but with adults.The adults are very much in the spirit that they even have their own team shirts and code names.The video was a very good one because it didn't include all of what was happening and only showed some of the action. When someones was getting hit with the ball they didn't show the person who was throwing it but they showed the person who was getting hit, or even the opposite of that. The video also had some people just saying words like "fun" and maybe they had said something before that but the video editor cut that out so its not so long and it also makes sense. sunnie25 :)

      Sequencing:The foundation of video storytelling

      • The sequence is the foundation of all video storytelling.
      • Often videos have a lack of basic sequencing of the video clips Sequences compress time in a video story.
      • If you dont compress the video it is very long and veiwers get very bored.
      • Proper sequencing gives the person whos editing the video a better way to pace the story by using wide, medium and tight shots.
      • When shooting a sequence you have to anticipate the action.
      • When you are shooting it is good to run scenarios through your mind.
      • It is good to shoot a varity of shots.
      • Shoot the action and then the reaction.
      • The other thing you should remember is to weight your shots to the tight and super tight end of the shooting spectrum.
      • Tight shots make great transitions between two wide shots or two medium shots. sunnie25:)
