From last quarter’s course, here are some examples for you:

The challenge: How might you augment or build upon this pre-existing archive?

Be in touch with questions!

Well, let’s start with a few examples.

 

 Example 1: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

 

 Example 2: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

 

 Example 3: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Ok, now that we have some examples, what appears common amongst all three? What “components” are required? What are the announcements doing? How are they doing it? And how do their rhetorical approaches differ?

With the answers to the above questions in mind, let’s group up and begin thinking about Response Paper 2.2, which is slated for two weeks from now in the Allen Auditorium.

In your groups, post a single entry, which should be categorized under “Audio PSAs,” that articulates the following:

• How are you going to record this thing? Who in your group will do the recording?
• What social issue related to your local Boys and Girls Club might you target? Who in your group might research this issue a bit more? (You need evidence, right?)
• Why does your issue warrant more public attention? Why does it matter? Who cares?
• What might be your target audience?
• Imagine how your PSA might be “public.” Where would you play it? When?
• Since your PSA is sound only, how will it engage your target audience? Who in your group might be responsible for the “creative construction” or “sound-scripting” of your PSA?

If you have time remaining, then you might also include some preliminary ideas. What’s your plan? How is this thing going to sound? What’s it going to do? When and how will you compose it?

As you do so, ask me questions!
