PSA

A PSA is an advertisement that is on television , radio or another media that its basic use is to inform. The objective of a PSA is to raise awareness or change behaviors and attitudes on a social issue. Public service advertising relies on donated media. In other words, a PSAdo not purchase paid airtime or space. A PSA “ask” that a media outlet - whether it’s a TV or radio station, magazine, newspaper, internet provider, or billboard company - run our PSAs for free. PSAs are always sponsored by a nonprofit or government agency whereas a commercial is paid for by a private company who then purchase airtime and space to run their ad. A commercial's effectt of is to advertise upon the viewing public and persuade people. They are very different in many ways because a PSA is actually giving you a message and is teaching you something, while a commercial just informs and you don't learn anything from it. They can be similar because they can be presented by the same sources, like tv, radio etc. As you have seen a PSA and a commercial are very different ways of informing, but they also share common characteristics.

I would like to work with many people in my class, but specially with these three girls: Adriana Rizzuto, Priscila Garibay and Ximena Mendez. I would like to work with these girls because I really get along with them and they are very dedicated girls, how always try to achieve good grades. They are also creative and they know how to work in teams.

List:
sex & proteccion
sexual transmitted diseases
anorexia & bulimia
trusting people
drinking and driving
teeange drinking
drugs & alcohol
low-self steem

If I had to choose three of these topics I would probably chose teenage drinking, anorexia and bulimia and low-self steem. I would like to choose one of these topics because this are problems that most of the teenagers suffer right now. They go under very rough and important decisions in this period of time, so these problems are essential. For anorexia and bulimia I would probably try to make girls to become secure about their body, and not be all ashamed or stressed out. Helping them to undergo eating disorders. On the other hand, if i had to choose teeange drinking will be persuading teenagers to not be drinking before they are underage, because seriously they don't know what they are really doing. Last but not least if will be about how mostly teeangers have a low-self teem, because maybe they feel nobody understands them, and how they have trouble making friends. This is a very important topic I would like to discuss.

Commercial

Super Bowl commercials

Today in class, we got to see a variety of the Super Bowl commercials. They were ones who were good, and they were others who weren't that awesome. I had some videos who were my favorite ones. They were very original and some of them were very funny. There was one video, which a totally thought it was amazing. The video is the Volkswagen Commercial . This video features a pint-sized Darth Vader who uses the Force when he discovers the all-new 2012 Passat in the driveway. It leverages humor and the unforgettable Star Wars. My favorite part in on 0.47 sec. This video is very humorous and original that's why is my favorite video. You should totally watch it.

On the other hand, as I said they were some videos who were not good at all. An example is the Android commercial. This video is an advertisement halftime show football green bay packers. Basically it tells you about all the new technology the phone has. In my personal opinion the video was not entertaining at all. It takes a long amount of time, to really understand what the video is about. Also I found it a bit disturbing, because the end is kind of freaky. I would have change maybe the last part, and take a less amount of time. They should have gone straight to the point.

Last but not least, my classmates videos. Sincerely they were all awesome and they all did a great job. Everyone tried to make their videos very unique and entertaining and funny. In my opinion my favorite video was Jorge's. Jorge's video was simply amazing. It had the exact amount of time that the teacher asked. It went straight to the point and it was entertaining and extremely funny. He's video was about doing an advertisement about coke, while you are doing exercise. Seriously it made me laugh so much, because he's a wonderful comedian. Well done Jorge, you did an amazing job!
