Today in CyberARTS we were told to find a PSA on a social issue and I found this video about domestic violence. When we were looking for the video we were to think about three questions: What is the main focus of the video? (i.e. the impact of prejudice, discrimination, systemic discrimination, racial slurs?).
Describe how the video gets this point across.
What techniques are used in the video to help convince the viewer of the point of the video. (Look at shots, music, content, text, voice, voice-over, sound fx etc.)
The main focus of the video is to show that domectic violence always is around and we can only stop it if we all try. We can't take advantage of the people in are lives and expect to get away with it.In the video it shows Kiera Knightly coming home from here acting job and getting abused by here boyfriend, but she does say one line " This isin't part of the script" and the male actor ignores her and gets violent. This almost states that domestic violence isin't part of are normal lives so why do we even have domestic violence?
It's somthing to think about. Some of the techniques that are used in the PSA to get the message across is relating the situation to a script and movie actors and actresses because some people may not like what is shown in movies but it is the directors choice. They also use close-ups of of the abused to show the reaction she is feeling with this happening to her. Last they also don't add extras and voice overs, they make the video effects simple For example simple shots, and the actors/actresses say very fews lines but they are strong, important and they make sense.
