2/20 PSA Analysis Activity
1. The actors portray the message, “not posting your image online”, by going and looking at the picture on the board and ripping it off. They share it amongst their friends and soon enough it seems like the whole school knows about it.
2. The persuasive techniques used in the video are showing everyone’s reactions to the picture. Some are sad, some are confused and some are mad. This is to show the audience everyone’s reactions to the picture.
3. The voiceover wraps up the ad and brings everything together. He really gets the point across in a very mono-tone voice that gets the audiences attention.
4. Text is used to show what the voiceover is saying when he says “friends… family”. So not only is the audience hearing the message they are also visualizing it.
