The Presentation

The Capstone

The capstone presentation went okay. it was stressful because i forgot my poster board and my poster, however, overall i did well. i explained to my judge my project well and utilized my website to show more information. once the day started, it all went smoothly.

capstone presentations were long and the class was just as long. I am glad that it is all over. I did not have a problem with capstone, I thought it was a good class.

Capstone presentation

for my capstone presentation, I have multiple levels to make my booth awesome.
 
- I will have a banner above as always
- I will have a tv from home to play my PSA in the background as well as my charts and shematics
- I will also have my laptop open with the website up for people  to browse
- I will have an interactive display to pull apart and put together so that people can see how the project functions
- I will also have posters with the charts and informational data. the key will be to have a lot of visuals to help explain the project
- Lastly, I will have some candy like everyone else

Mr. Manes visit

The Visit

After the visit today in IMED, Mr.Manes told us a lot of valuable information about capstone. He told us that non of us were declined and that we can tweak our end products as much as we would like. He also told us that the length is also not an object as long as it's atleast 15 pages. 

overall, it helped clear up some things for me. It also helped me feel less stressed about the approval and non approval. the fact we aren't required to use every aspect we create also easses me a bit. I hope that now things will go smoother in capstone and in IMED.

A PSA!!

Doing a PSA

The Reading

Upon reading the document on how to make a PSA, there were some things that came to mind. The document was a very insightful read and it made a lot of sense. I never thought about how long PSA's were bad. It makes me think of those PETA commercials and how they drag on forever. I also never though of how sound effects actually bring images to mind. I haven't seen it done effectively, but I do recall the cheesy type of PSA's and how the overuse of sounds gave a bad effect to the piece.

The PSA's

The first PSA is about the "don't vpte" campaighn that came out a few years ago. it was really effective. they brought in the actors and had them do a funny skit telling people "don't vote."

there were no anoying sound effects, no random music, just a clean white background and people talking. it was however a long PSA, but I believe it was very effective.

The second was another "Don't vote." the same thing was done with the second one and it worked wonderfully. four years ago "Don't vote" did another video and once again, it was funny, clear, and got the point across to "vote." it was 4:41 minutes but it was good nonthe les.

for my PSA,

ill emphisise the growing need for water globally, and the stats of there only being 2.5% pure water.

ill get some visuals from africa since that is my region, and some audio talking about the matter.

ill outline like this:

overall problem globally

the effects of unclean water

the aeffects in africa

the numbers

the solution
