However, modifications and accommodations can be given if more time is needed to complete the edit and students will be given the exam period to edit. A PSA must informs the public of something IMPORTANT. IT MUST BE SERIOUS, not silly. It is something that is for the benefit of all, and for the good of society. A PSA or Public Service Announcement educates a viewer to take action and is focused on a particular topic that should resonate with everyone, regardless of demographic. (See Rubric for Criteria).

OTHER EXAMPLES
Recently, I attended a local film festival and the caliber of work that was created by students was extremely impressive. Students clearly took the time to write well-written scripts, compose their shots, think about how audio compliments video and really focus on camera angles and story lines to make a great film.
Have a look at some of these:
White Lightning (Comedy)
Under Pressure (Music Video)
Beto's Story (Documentary)
Get the Clap Out of Here (Comedy)
Tim's Time (Comedy)
Tazmanian Devil (Stop Motion/Animation)
Eating Disorders (PSA)
