PSA Reflection

Link to PSA: https://youtu.be/HfWrxGhTru8

In my PSA I would like to increase awareness surrounding representation and quality of ethnic dishes in the dining hall or lack thereof.The specific resources that have been of assistance to me in this process are CapCut, Pinterest, and the Notes app on my phone. All of these programs have allowed me to hash out my ideas and develop a plan. This is incredibly important to my process because I feel it's how I execute my ideas the way I envision it. I feel like making a video PSA is a very creative way of being to relay information and address certain  issues surrounding culture. It's used to reach mass amounts of individuals, thus spreading the message Im trying to get across. The medium wasn't bad but it was intimidating, I was unsure where to go or how to use the programs and make my PSA look presentable. I think that my PSA not only is persuasive but brings awareness to a serious dilemma in Syracuses' dining halls. If Syracuse is supposedly our "home away from home" we should be able to find food that not only tastes good but also accurately reflects and represents the food we eat at home. Im not saying that they need to represent EVERY SINGLE culture that walks into the dining halls but rather if they're going to represent a culture to put care and effort into making the dish as authentic as possible. Food is a big part of identity, therefore my PSA stresses the importance of authenticity so that students have something to look to when they crave the comfort foods they would normally seek at home.
