Food Deserts PSA by Fabiana Cajamarca

To start my video off, I decided to do a mini skit with my little sister and dog to show a potential situation of people who live in food deserts. After that, I go on to talk about what a food desert is and the number of people that live in one. I also decided to include a clip from PBS news that shows a supermarket being built in an area of North Philadelphia after a very long time of not having one. I chose the topic of food deserts because we talked about it a lot in class and it is something that I have never heard of before. I thought that it would be interesting to make a PSA making others aware that people have to live in places with no nearby supermarket. I am glad that I chose this topic because it opened my eyes to the subject and I learned many new things surrounding food deserts, especially in Philadelphia. I think that something I did well is being well informed on the topic that I chose because I did research on multiple different websites. I also think that I organized my PSA in a way that made sense and made the video flow as a whole. Something that I could have done differently is maybe being a bit more creative so that it could really catch the viewer's attention. I think that there were other ways to go about doing the PSA as well. The most meaningful part of creating this PSA was being able to inform others who may not have known about food deserts and how people have to live in them. I think that creating a PSA for this topic was very important because this is how situations like these are spread around. Overall, I enjoyed creating my video and I am content with the way the whole thing turned out.
