Carrie McLaren comes to Bronx Science

Carrie McLaren of StayFree! magazine paid a special visit to our club on January 13, 2004. We looked at advertising, specifically the ads which appear in Ad magazines. We learned a lot about the advertising process, and about looking at commercials and ads critically. We learned a little about the magazine she publishes, had really a interesting discussion, and all took home anti-SUV post-cards and copies of StayFree! She was an inspiration for our documentary projects. We would love to work with her in the future.

PSA practice project!

The PSAs should be of course, under one minute. They have to be comprised of one continuous shot, with no cuts. Each group member should be given a role in the PSA's production. There should be a director, a cameraperson and the talent (on camera actors). The groups finished creating their storylines and made sure they answered the questions:
How is the cameraperson going to move to accomplish the entire PSA in one shot?
What sounds are going to be heard?
Where will it be shot?
Is this project doable in 20 min?
The groups went out to shoot their PSA. Here's an outline of what we came up with:

PSA's message Group members
1. Outdoor activity- stressing the importance of exercise Sarah, Ilana, Josh, Ryan
2. Liberals at Bronx Science Shari, James, Adam, Ben
3. RIAA legislation Nayema, Jessie, Sable, Amy
