PSA Analysis

1. This PSA talks about cyber bullying.
2. the message that is presented is, " if you wouldnt say it in person why say it online?" and the images that are presented help evoke this message because the expressions on the peoples faces show that cyberbully hurts and its changes the way the people see others.
3. The images that are the most effective in getting the message across are the all the faces of people looking at the girl that is getting bullyed. All their faces look like they feel sorry for her and also that they dont really want to be around her.
4. There is not allot of sound affects in this video. It basically is only one girl talking the whole time but one of the only sound effects that i found was at the end when the message comes on the screen, there is a sound like someone is typing it and that helps the it seem like its on the computer since cyberbullying happens on the computer.
5. I think that the most effective sound effect is the part were there is none because that helps the people watching the video concentrate on what is being said actually think about how stupid it really is to cyberbully.
6. A preteen that is talking for the most part of the video and i think that it is effective because it shows the age category that is doing most of the cyberbullying.Also its a girl that is talking and i personally think that girls cyberbully allot more than guys. The tone that she uses serious and at the very happy.
7. All of these desisions affect the video and also make it an effective video because they show how serious and how stupid cyberbullying really is.
8. My overall impression on this PSA is that it is really a effective one and it really gets the message accros to the audience. Even though the first time that i watched it i started laughing and i still do not know why, i think that shows just how stupid it really is. Cyberbullying gives people the oppourtunity to say things that they wouldnt have the courage to say to a persons face and the truth is that it should be stopped because people are getting hurt everyday by it and its just going to get worse if its not stopped today.
