Copyright+PSAs

__  What is a public service announcement?    __
 Public service announcements, or PSA's, are short video or audio messages given to radio and television stations hat promote an important topic with wide-scale public importance. They can be done very simply with a single actor reading or performing a message, or they can be elaborate, slickly-produced productions with music, dramatic storylines, and sound or visual effects. Radio and television stations are required by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to serve "in the public interest." Most stations use PSA's as one of the ways they meet this requirement.

For this project, students researched facts about copyright, then scripted, rehearsed, and filmed a 30-second PSA. Below are the students' PSAs.
