Food Insecurity PSA
For our video, we did a news report about food insecurity causing riots in Philadelphia, which has personal stories about people struggling with hunger and having to eat a bunch of processed food due to disparities. It also has alarming statistics on how widespread the issue is, and calls for action to solve the crisis. I chose this topic because food insecurity is a major problem impacting many people, especially in underprivileged communities like the ones in Philly and even in places abroad like Ethiopia, and by raising awareness it could help motivate solutions.
When it comes to what we did well in creating this project, there isn’t much besides how well it turned out, despite how badly we procrastinated. If I could go back, I wouldn’t have started the project the day before it was due, so I would have had a reasonable amount of time to work on it.
If I’m being honest, there really wasn’t anything meaningful about experiencing the creation of a PSA. If I had to say why I feel this way, I’d probably say it’s because I didn’t really take the time to make it, so I couldn’t fully absorb what I was doing and the real meaning behind it.
