I am going to design and make a PSA (Public Service Announcement) on Suicide Prevention. A lot of PSA announce a lot of other issues beside this one. My PSA would grab others attention that either their having depression , starting to feel depression, or helpers for this prevention. PSA are usually help others think before they do something next time since it always problems. I don't want to stop them for what their doing but at least be more advise in the long run.

The product is going to be a video regarding how others need to listen to people when they attend to them . The general length is going to be a 30 -45 second video .The function is to have others be more advise of sometimes putting other needs before yours. I would need my team mates to make this video real and have some objects to make it look real . The PSA is grabbing adults attention . Once adults see this video they would become inform of whats needed to be done.
