Conversation Project Plan


Lindsey and I are planning on making a vintage style PSA about staring.  We intend for this to be an ironic commentary on people who take small, inconsequential quirks and make them into unnecessarily large issues.  This is especially timely right now due to the upcoming elections.  Many voters throw away the chance at an informed vote and cast their ballot based on trivial, silly reasons that are made out to be important.  We want to research current voter patterns, public speaking patterns, and other behaviors that politicians have and see if there are any correlations.  We also want to look into the aesthetics of vintage PSA’s to incorporate those visual stylings.  Our two voices will be that of ‘Billy” the naïve young boy who is being taught about the graces of not staring, and his teacher.  To make the voices visually distinct, we will use different fonts, colors, and sizes.  We are paying special attention to the timing of the words on screen to make sure that viewers will catch everything presented.
