This Assignment was really personal to me. As someone who suffers from Depression, I think it is very important for others to know about mental health issues. I wanted the general public to know that people can be sick without looking physically sick.
My documentary was about the Farmers market and the importance of locally grown food. I interviewed vendors and shoppers and got their opinions on their produce.
And here’s the finished product!! It’s super rushed and not my best work, but I think it was pretty good for a first assignment!!
So for my PSA, I know I want to do something involving the stigma of prescription pills. I think a lot of the time the general public will assume that because someone takes prescription pills they are somehow less than everyone else, whether it be less cool or less smart or less able bodied. I want to show people that prescription pills help level the playing field, and that they’re not always abused by their users.
Jenee and I are doing out “How To” video on bi-racial hair, specifically on how to manage and style it. We’re almost to the point where we’re to start to film. Here’s our outline :
How to Deal With Bi-Racial Hair
Intro: Kim & Jenee wondering why their hair won’t look like the girls in the magazines. Kim is a little child; Jenee is her mother giving her a lesson on how to deal with her bi-racial hair.
Kim: “Mom, how come my hair doesn’t look like hers?”
Jenee: “You’re not like her honey, you have bi-racial hair.”
Kim: “Do you have bi-racial hair momma?”
