Blog Entry #5.21 - CAS Evaluation
The group that would be most inspired by my campaign are adults. Adults will see the poster and video and get emotional over it once they think of the innocence of a child. They will be more likely to take immediate action about it. The group that will be least inspired by my campaign are teenagers. I think that I would need to add more drastic pictures to capture the attention of the teenagers. They will think about their little brother or sister and then get concerned about the issue.
Blog Entry #5.20 - Attitudes Evaluation
The Learner Profile quality that was my greatest strength during this project was Inquirers. I was always curious as to how I would make my video. Then, I learned how to create the video on Windows Movie Maker 2 and edit it. I use this newfound knowledge to complete my video. The Learner Profile quality that was my greatest challenge was Knowledgeable. I didn't have much prior knowledge about editing videos. No, I did not work to the best of my ability. I could worked a lot better by making an actual video with people in it instead of making one on Windows Movie Maker 2.
Blog Entry #5.19 - Create Evaluation
One problem that I encountered was adding music into the video. I did not know how to download the music to then import it into the video. At home, I had my phone plugged into my laptop. Therefore, the music files were there. So I imported a song from my phone onto the video. The technology skill I learned was how to edit the video. I edited how long I wanted the video to be and I added pictures. I also put one transition in there and added text. I will use this skill whenever I need to make another video for other classes.

Blog Entry #5.17 - Investigation Evaluation
The aspect of my issue that I chose to focus on was preventing child abuse from happening and how to help those who have fallen victim to it. I focused on this because it is very important for victims to know that they have support from those that care for them deeply. Also, it can be avoided by alerting an authority figure.
Blog Entry #5.16 - Product Evaluation
I could improve my poster design by adding more pictures dealing with Child Abuse. I had only two pictures in the center. I could improve my video by ading more effects and transitions into it to make it look better and presentable.
Blog Entry #5.9C - PSA Concept
Title of your PSA: Child Abuse
What is the main topic of your PSA?
The main topic of my PSA is Child Abuse and how to help to prevent it.
Target audience: Teenagers, Younger kids, Adults
What solution will your PSA promote?
My PSA will promote the solution for putting a stop to child abuse and learning how to prevent it from escalating any further.
What is your tag line? "It shouldnt hurt to be a child."
What we will see happening in your PSA? What is the story? (At least one paragraph, if not more! Be extremely detailed!)
In my PSA, you will see several different pictures that relate to child abuse. There will either be a picture of a victim of child abuse, inspirational words against child abuse, and or pictures that show just how scared innocent children are when they are about to get abused. The music used in my PSA will reflect the mood of child abuse which is sad/gloomy. This way, the PSA will be more effective.

Blog Entry #4.9 - Final Design
I met the Design Specification because I met all of the requirements. I placed all the 9 photos that were required and put all of the 6 text that were required as well. I also extracted 4 or more pictures from Adobe Photoshop CS2. I rotated a few pictures. For the picture of the national bird, I brought it to the front so its head is on top of the picture above it. I used various colors like red, white, and blue. I used Perpetua font because I liked it and I used the size 48 so that everything could fit. I chose the colors red, white, and blue because that is the color of the flag of my country. I chose this layout because it looks organized. I have 2 pictures per row and 3.
