This week we looked at how public information films were effective and down to the point and which filming techniques they would use. I knew that for public information films they would make a shocking films like for the kids in Africa and how they need support, but the films we watched in class were as shocking as they get. We mainly focused on driving and car accidents. We also saw a few public information films from the 60's and other timelines. In the 60's I learned that they used comedy and patronising a certain person to get a point across and i found it really funny. Then in a few years time they brought famous people into doing public information films and then they used kids in public information films later on in the 20th century. They slightly evolved the concept into more gruesome and graphic films now in the 21st century.
I learned a lot about public information films that I never knew about. How in the 1960's they didn't have many woman in the public information films and patronised a particular person.
This is one of the public information films of the 1970's:
We also watched part of a public information film that originally is 30 minutes long. It was based on the fact that what could happen if you text while driving. It was a very graphic film and proved the point of texting while driving could do.
After that I went in a group and we started to film an acting scene. My group took a while to film the scene but it turned out good. We didn't have much time to edit the footage, but it still turned out really good.
For next week if we get any time to edit I would put some adjustments and things that need to be dealt with.
