The pre-production of our group PSA started with several phone calls and postings on Facebook. Ideas were brainstormed and our group wiki was set up. The project plan was collaboratively devised and each member accepted a role in the plan that best fit their talents and prior knowledge. As production began, a few of our roles changed and new ideas were incorporated. We deleted one scene and added an extra person for voice-over narration. It is amazing what we were able to coordinate and how well we communicated through our group wiki and Facebook. Adding in our copyright information was our next task. Because we used less than 10% of a song for our background music, we cited Creative Commons liscensing for our PSA project. As to ways to improve our PSA, we realized that 60 seconds was very difficult to stick to and still keep in all of the shots and ideas we wanted to include. Overall, our group worked well together; learned many new skills; and produced a project that we all are proud of.
