Public Relations and Advertising: M.A.D.D. Public Service Announcement
In my Public Relations and Advertising course, we had to put together a public service announcement video for M.A.D.D., Mothers Against Drunk Driving. The instructor assigned us in groups. We created our own mock public relations firm called “Screaming Chameleons.” For this assignment, we had to write, shoot, and edit a short piece to educate the youth about the dangers of drinking and driving.
Intro to Video Production: Producing a short film
For Introduction to Video Product, I had to product a short film. Each student had to write, shoot, and edit his or her short. In the process, I learned how to use Final Cut Pro, Apple Motion, and Soundtrack Pro. Professor Greg Golda assisted me with the shoot. I casted students from Sacred Heart University, and I casted the rest if the crew from New England Casting and the Connecticut Film Office.
Encouraging Edgy Moves on the Dance Floor: PepsiCo Hosts Krumping Dance Competition, A Positive Event For Inner City Kids
Los Angeles - PepsiCO will introduce the first Pepsi Edge krumping dance competition. Krumping is an underground dance movement, which incorporates aggressive free style dances, costumes, and face paint. The participants in the competitions will have their fact painted with the Pepsi twirl, and the dance floor will be a larger Pepsi twirl. At this krumping dance competition, PepsiCO plans to launch its newest soft drink, Pepsi Edge, a blend of diet Pepsi and the original Pepsi.
The judges of the competitions will be hip op artists Missy Eliot and Black Eyed Peas. The winners with the edgiest dance movements will receive free cases of Pepsi Edge. PepsiCo plans to host more krumping dance events because this dance form is a positive activity for inner city kids. There are more children turning to krumping instead of gang violence and drugs. With these dance competitions, PepsiCO wants inner city children to know that they can have the winning edge in life.
