PSA - Public service announcement

we have been asked for our next peice of work to create a PSA which is a type of advertisement for the publics safety. We will be focusing on rape awareness for the public.

The main thing i want to get across in my video is that women shouldnt go out on their own, they shouldnt walk down alleys, talk to people they dont know, get into unknown veichals but in a situation that is very common being aware that Unmarked cabs or taxis are dangerous and that people should be aware of this.

i think that to get the message across especially to young women it needs to be powerful, i dont want to just make women aware but everyone.

facts.

i found this on wikipedia, its a list of the reported rapes.

i found that alot of the time the stories i read where when people where on a night out, it seems that it is more rare that it will happen when a women is in the right state of mind however it still does. Women are attacked when drunk as they are seen as vunerable.

here is a link of David Lynch's PSA on cleaning up new york!

i think this video is very powerful, the noises catch ur attention and it creeps you out so that you watch it and realise how bad it is! i think it has a good impact on people, especially those who dont like rats!!

here is another video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKNCYw2898Q
this video has a slightly different approach its powerful because its upseting and it makes you think!
its about a girl who was raped, she didnt speak up because she was too scared and she commit suicide, its her suicide note, i think it would effect not only women but their families too as they would not like to be the parents on the recieving end of their childs suicide not. its very upsetting but so effective. this video also contains facts about how many people speak up and the effects of not speaking up, i think this helps warn people of the concequences.

although this next video isnt as professsional as the other two it still sends a very important message across, i think the effects used suit the PSA as it is on drugs and some shots are made blurry. i also think that having the seringe there would make people realise actually this is dangerous! here is the link;
