Your Own Anti-Drug is a short piece with a pretty simple point. I feel that perhaps the introduction was a little much with the number of scenarios. That probably would have worked better if after the scenarios was the point delivered with a blunt punch. The music at the beginning was also a bit awkward because it fades very shortly after it starts which lessened the power of the musical support for the piece. A plus for this piece is that it sounded very similar to a commercial or maybe even the beginning of a show which was actually pretty cool. Overall, Your Own Anti-Drug, is short and sweet and delivers a good message.
As a person who has watched MTV's "the truth" commercials; hearing
about drugs has gotten slightly stale. Even with my previous opinion
about anti-drug media I decided to take a chance with the piece, "Your
Own Anti-Drug". Starting out with a soft melody, youth producer,
Alyssa DiMare, gets us into the mood of her piece The mixture of song and narration was near perfect, creating a gentle, somber tune. If I were older, I could say her voice sounds like a childhood friend who knows you and is tired of waiting. The narrators plead is what really catches me. A short, but powerful piece. I've never heard an anti-drug PSA , but this is a great start.
