Assignment 4: Skin Cancer PSA

July 30th, 2010

In my community, I’m a part of the American Cancer Society. For our relay for life, I am the Accounting chair. At the last relay for life I participated in, I found out that skin cancer is spreading more rapidly around the world due to people’s ignorance of the sun’s harmful rays.
Wearing sunscreen is a simple step you can do towards a large fight against skin cancer.

Assignment 3 – Cafeteria food

July 22nd, 2010

This is me, Moneel, and James’s script for our third assignment:

How to pick good cafeteria food

Green screen someone in in front of still image.

Intro: Show one of us walk into the cafeteria and freak out at all the selections of food

O fortuna plays4

“Has this ever been you? Well then, this video is for you!”

Forest: someone in cafeteria

Tree: close up on food items

Bark: Close up on person’s reaction

This video is to help people that eat at cafeterias eat food

Step 1: Step into the Cafeteria and grab your tray and appropriate utensils.

Tip: don’t freak out at all the food available, you need to have something to put that food on first.

Forest: Walking towards utensils

Tree: At utensil stand

Bark: Hand grabbing utensils

Step 2: Evaluate what we call the “variable selections” that are there for your meal time.

Tip: The salad bar, fruit bar, sandwich bar, and pizza stand never changes so don’t bother looking there.

Forest: All selections

Tree: Variable selections

Bark: Single item from variable

Science part – Fruits and veggies have high contents of cellulose, fiber, which helps your digestives system.

Step 3: Once you have seen the selections, decide what you feel like eating that meal.

Tip: Always try to have at least one or two fruits/veggies per meal. Pick up a salad or some fruit on your way to the lines.

Forest: You in cafeteria

Tree: You at fruit stand

Bark: Picking a fruit

Step 4: Get in line and wait.

Tip: If someone tries to cut you, kindly show them where the back of the line is.

Step 5: Ask the cafeteria worker politely for whatever food you would like

Tip: Don’t be afraid to ask for more! If they simply didn’t give you enough tater tots, ask for another scoop.

Step 6: Get a drink from the drink stand

Tip: Try to stay away from soda as many times in a day as you can.

Step 7: Sit down with some friends and enjoy!

Congratulations! You have successfully acquired your meal! Stay tuned for “How to pick the right desert”

Assignment 2: Technology

July 5th, 2010

From Wi-Fi to digital cameras to flatscreen televisions to google to the iPod, there has been a technological uproar in the past decade. Ten years ago, almost any person with a new gadget like a 2.7 megapixel SLR camera was considered to be very professional and rich, considering it would have cost you about $25,000. Now a days, you can pick up a way better and improved version of these cameras at a local Best Buy on a low budget.

There’s no doubt that in the past 10 years there has been a huge change in technology, but have people noticed? Technology is a recurring theme here at SMASH and I want to know how people around here feel about it.

For this documentary, these are my possible questions:

What kind of gadgets do you own, and which is your favorite?

What’s the biggest change in technology that you have seen over the past 10 or so years?

Do you prefer to use technology to do everyday things or do you like to do things more old fashioned?
