In this brainstorming and writing/video workshop you will learn how to produce a Public-Service Ad about a social issue you would like to see changed in your city.
BETWEEN THE LINES
Columbia College Chicago's Documenting Social Injustice class brings you "Between the Lines", an interactive workshop exploring how media portrays youth violence throughout Chicago and how we can change that story.
We will deconstruct a news story, write a story in our own words and experiences to transform the message and learn how to create a PSA focusing on our new discoveries, exploring resilience and social justice through media advocacy.
Using professional video equipment, you will work in groups to brainstorm, write a script, create a storyboard, and cast your talent.
After a short rehearsal, we will shoot your 30 second Public Service Ad!

Media Outreach:

The Ad Council works closely with the advertising agency and sponsoring organization throughout the (approximate) 9-month process to develop a campaign which involves 6 major stages: 1) research and planning; 2) strategic development; 3) creative development; 4) production; 5) distribution/media outreach; and 6) monitoring and evaluation.
After a campaign is produced, the Ad Council distributes the PSAs to the media who donate free time and space to our campaigns. Specifically, we distribute our PSAs via a nationwide network of over 33,000 media outlets that includes TV and radio stations, print outlets (i.e. magazines, newspapers), outdoor (i.e. billboards, bus stops) and the internet (i.e. web banners). In addition, we utilize current technologies such as social media (i.e. Facebook, MySpace), texting, video email, satellite radio and interactive television.
