This idea came to me when I was eating and enjoying  a  chocolate chip cookie.  Then I thought of what if my cookie ran away from me.  How would I feel I asked myself  if it actually did happen. Then I thought that I should use that idea for my composite. So I decided to change my initial idea and do my cookie idea.  The idea was to have me go get a cookie from the cookie jar but as I open it the cookie will roll away and have me chase it into a field.  
In order to accomplish this idea I needed to add myself in to the composite to chase the cookie down.  Therefore I used the green screen to incorporate myself by recording myself doing multiple actions like me running, grabbing the cookie and me looking angry.  The challenges that I faced were not with recording but when I synced my images on the computer and editing the green screen out.  Also I needed to incorporate the storyline, so I used photoshop to put in pictures. I had no real challenges but I faced problems locating the tools.
My title was created to appear letter by letter in and in the background and you are able to see my face screaming.  I had no challenges creating this title.  Overall my finished project matched what I visioned to have.  I liked it when I made the eagle fly.  New skills that I learned was downloading my green screen image onto the computer.

Stay in School Don't Be A Fool!






1. Before I started to film for this project my group and I had to brainstorm on what to do. We decided to create our PSA on High School Dropouts.




2. We had multiple problems but one problem that was very significant was that we had problems getting together to record our PSA. The only way we decided to solve our problem was to record during class. Which is what we did not want to do for this video. Our actual goal was to record at different locations to make this PSA more interesting.

3. While I was editing the footage I did not have to use any effects or filters to create a better image. I believe that my footage had great quality. It was not a perfect PSA, I did have a couple of flaws but they were not significant.


4. I believe that my PSA had greet quality the video played in a fluid motion. There was no choppy scenes that attracted my attention. I also think that my PSA will grab the attention of my audience. Also this will demonstrate to my audience a way to act because my PSA targets high school students. Since my audience are high school students, they will learn not to drop out of high school and stay in school and get a high school education that will help them to be successful.
