Public Service Announcement: Witches in Hollywood and Real Life
Reflection of my PSA
On my PSA assignment, I was asked to create a visual informational campaign and post it on YouTube for all to see. So, since I'm a fan of witches, I chose to create a short PSA that showcased the difference between Hollywood Witches and Real Witches.
First,I started off with gathering video footages of fictional witches using their powers. I selected a bunch of scenes from Charmed and some scenes from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Then I pasted them all on Windows Movie Maker and clipped them down for scenes I most wanted. Then for the "Real Witch" comparison, I filmed myself siting in my room,drinking tea, and doing tarot cards. For the scene with myself in it, I wanted to make it as normal as possible, which hopefully will suggest to the onlooker that real witches don't fly on broomsticks or worship the devil. After filming myself, I patched it onto my video.
I enjoyed this assignment very much so. I implemented with what I've learned with the Scene Remake and the Video Mash Up; it was basically a collaboration of both assignments. And I simply just had fun pulling in all the scenes, filming, and putting all the footage together.
