Anti-bullying PSA

Here is my video.

And here are my posters.






And my brief:


This concept conveys how bullying can take the zest and zeal out of living, and how one act of kindness or understanding can make a difference. The character in the video is receiving mean notes, which are bright red in a black and white landscape to show how distracting and jarring it can be to receive such a note. At the end, the character receives a nice note on blue paper that, when opened, bleeds the color back into the world. The posters are based on this idea as well, with the desaturated and gray notes that say mean things surrounding a brightly colors pattern of notes with the tagline on it. The intention is to give a sense of breaking through the bullying into a colorful, fulfilling space.

I am aiming this campaign at high school students. I have used more high contrast footage, heavier and more mature music, and more mature words to get this audience.
