I want to create sympathy so that the audience has a window into the tragedy and hardships that trans people face daily.]]> 2021-03-12 04:45:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1301361156 Stats from LGBTIQ+ Health Australia mayca005 https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1328108536 Trans people over the age of 18 are eleven times for likely to attempt suicide.
Almost 80% of trans and gender diverse people from ages 14 to 25 have self harmed in their lifetime.
57% of trans people over the age of 18 have been diagnosed with depression.

These statistics will be key to the first half of my video, which will present a few important facts about trans suffering. Before I can get the audience on board with the message emotionally, I need to convey how severe the issue is.]]> 2021-03-19 00:56:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1328108536 International Journal of Transgender Health mayca005 https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1328171060 There is a correlation between recent transgender suicide attempts in AU/NZ and lack of social support.

My whole message is to "check up on a trans friend" and this study strongly suggests that by responding to this call to action a change can be made.]]> 2021-03-19 01:19:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1328171060 #AtWhatCost PSA mayca005 https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1328213457 This PSA contains a similar creative style that I'd like to incorporate in my video. It presents statistics and uses harsh urban imagery to confront the audience to stand up against transphobia.]]> 2021-03-19 01:34:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1328213457 Human Rights Campaign Foundation Trans Visibility PSA mayca005 https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1328224494 This advertisement is great as its goal is to humanise trans people and break down and prove to cisgender people that trans people are just like anyone else, and deserve the same basic human rights.]]> 2021-03-19 01:38:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1328224494 Mason Gray Animated PSA mayca005 https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1328280069 This is a great animated PSA as it does a great job of expressing the emotional side of living a transgender life. The sadness that the main character feels watching his own funeral is similar to the confronting emotion I want the audience to feel to display that gender dysphoria is very real and extremely difficult to live with. This ad is probably closest to my message of protecting trans people from self harm and suicide.]]> 2021-03-19 02:00:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1328280069 Tone mayca005 https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1366588168 Before watching my promotional video, most cisgender people would be ignorant towards the issues that transgender people face, as it isn't something that concerns them. I want to confront my audience with the necessary tone for the subject matter, which is dark and dreary. I want a lasting impact of sympathy from the audience, and the hopeful call to action to resonate with them so they realise that they can help, and they're also responsible for trans mental health. By the end of the ad they will be informed of the severity of the subject matter, and motivated to help in whichever way they can.]]> 2021-03-30 03:28:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1366588168 Typography mayca005 https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1366623090 As my promotional video will be conveying a serious tone, I want my fonts to match this. Therefore I will be using simple sans serif fonts to avoid drawing attention to the font style rather than the message itself. For statistics, I will be using Roboto Light, as with the right colour it will blend well with the scene and be easily readable while not being too intrusive. For the rhetorical question and call to action at the end, I will use Bebas Neue as it is all capitalised and bold, which fits with the confronting tone I'm going for.]]> 2021-03-30 03:47:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1366623090 Colour mayca005 https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1366623302 The three main colours (B,C,D) represent the colours of trans pride, and are integral to my message. I have muted the tones of these colours to match the gloomy tone of the ad, whereas on a flag the pink and blue pops with high saturation. The other two colours (A,E) are darker, more subtle, and add the the overall mood.]]> 2021-03-30 03:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1366623302 Treatment mayca005 https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1366623517 A trans person gets out of bed. The tone is dark and the lighting is dimmed to match this. They have their head in their hands, and a statistic on trans mental health appears on screen.
The trans person looks in the mirror and sees a scribble covering their face, portraying how gender dysphoria warps perception of the self. Another statistic appears. A series of short clips of trans people plays in quick succession, each person looking into the camera and stating, "I am human." The screen goes black. The following text appears:
WE ARE HUMAN
ARE YOU?
The PSA ends with the call to action at the end: "CHECK UP ON A TRANS FRIEND TODAY"]]> 2021-03-30 03:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1366623517 Australian Psychologist mayca005 https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1379115882 Results revealed dissatisfaction of access to transgender services in Australia.

While this is a little off topic, this could be a contributing factor to trans mental health as the report suggests, so it is an important aspect to note as I continue my research.]]> 2021-04-03 04:31:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1379115882 AIDA mayca005 https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1379118048 Attention
The promo video will begin with sorrowful music and a cool colour palette. This will capture the audience's attention as to what the upsetting situation is, and they will be curious to watch further. My imagery will be cold and draw attention to the sad tone.

Interest
Interest of the subject will be gained through confronting and harrowing statistics that the average viewer wouldn't be aware of. This sets up the stakes of the seriousness of the topic.

Desire
I will be gathering a selection of clips from trans people facing the camera and speaking directly to the viewer. This forces the audience to face just some of the many trans lives that are in their hands, and helps create sympathy towards the cause.

Action
The call to action at the end of the video will encourage the audience to enact change. This will be due to the realisation that this issue is preventable and everyone should try and stop it.]]> 2021-04-03 04:34:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1379118048 Mind Map mayca005 https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1379210127 2021-04-03 07:17:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1379210127 References mayca005 https://padlet.com/mayca005/n67kwckpfcpt60vf/wish/1381940052 Ho, F & Mussap, A, 'Transgender Mental Health in Australia: Satisfaction with Practitioners and the Standards of Care', Australian Psychologist, vol. 52, no. 3, pp. 209-218.
