Creating the PSA was a unique experience. I got to understand the ins and outs of iMovie much better than I had before, and it was fun to clip the pieces together to make a coherent movie. We actually filmed about 3 minutes of footage but had to trim it down to around 60 seconds. This was the most challenging part about the whole thing. We really felt restricted by the time limit and while we understood why it was in place, it was still hard to work with. We actually felt rushed to cram everything we wanted into it.
We did spend a lot of time on the project. We met before hand to plan and brainstorm. Filming was easy because we had a good plan that we reviewed before each take. After that we edited it down in iMovie and piece it together. We then added the opening and closing parts to finish off the video. Like I said earlier, the hardest part was fitting it into the time limit. Once we did that though, we felt confident in what we had down. If I did this again, I would definitely try to have less raw film to start with. Not having to edit out a lot would have made a simpler more cohesive video.
