PSA Intent

This website did help me to figure out what kind of PSA I wanted to do to for example, that I should think of it as a commercial instead of creating it into a lesson. Also, that I need to keep the message short and sweet and not so long that people would forget what the message was even about. It also helped me to start thinking about the  type of music that I need to find since my PSA is more on a serious note rather than for children.

Two PSA that I liked:

MY PSA:

My PSA will emphasize on how caregivers usually treat elderly or disabled people and give some statistics and ways to improve.

The visuals that are appropriate for my PSA is not a cheerful one but it also will not be a depression one.

I would like to use a PSA that is text based and would have some song in it and some pictures maybe.

My outline for the video is that in the beginning I will introduce the problem and show the statistics with music. After that I will maybe show some clips of the solution and show happier pictures of the caregivers giving the necessary type of respect to the patient and then end it with my website that I have created.

Capstone Project Statement of Intent

a) The goals of my project is to create a model that will set guidelines for caregivers, so that they will be able to take care of the patient properly. Rather than just looking at one aspect of their disability such as, the physical or mental.
b) We should care about this because, many caregivers do not follow these rules and just look at one thing about the patient or nothing at all. This leads to caregivers abusing their patients such as the elderly patients. Especially, since elderly people are going to make a big part of the population due to all the medical treatments that have kept them healthy.
c)These goals fit in with my career because, I want to become a registered nurse in the future therefore, I would need to know how to take care of a patient properly so that not only do I help treat them but also that I do it in a respectful and well mannered way.
d) My project gives back to the society by educating nurses how to take care of their patient especially since a majority of these patient usually end up getting depression because they feel as if they are useless and cannot do anything. This result can be part of the nurses fault for making it seem that the patient does not have any options.
