Q4 Benchmark - Lex Martinez
The content of our video is a reenactment of Lex’s interview with Wendy Burke, a nurse who works at Jefferson Hospital in Abington. This video is a reenactment because I was unable to record her voice or video record during my time in the hospital, the staff there felt uncomfortable. Instead, I wrote a transcript and tried to think of a creative way to show the interview which involved Olamide and Jame. It was a very interesting interview because I learned a lot on how people are fighting the battle of addiction and I learned how she deals with people that suffer from an opioid addiction that enters into her hospital. We also chose this because it was very different than advocating for cigarettes which I am very used to after my experience.
I think we edited the video very well, used our time very well, and attempted to tell a meaningful story. I think we could have portrayed the characters in the interview much better and their performance could have been much better...but looking at the cards dealt, we produced the best work we could have.
The most meaningful part of the creating a PSA is trying to tell a story and the call to action that you want the millions of people to take after watching your PSA. Trying to tell that story is the best part for me.
There are many factors that contribute to public health but some of the major determinants would be income, employment, housing, education, and social support.
These play a major role in the healthcare system because these are the major categories in which our determinants of health fall under. There are so many determinants we need categories to seek what we can do politically and how we can change our economy and social elements.
The process of research has a focus on a set end goal which we actually didn’t do. Instead, we used the research to invoke emotion and to tell a meaningful story by creating our PSA.
There are many careers which apply to both fields, you could be a researcher that seeks to find the effect on public health situations on the body and etc.
