I'm doing an ad for PE on obesity. (I've changed my decision about this life factor 3 times!) I have spent almost 50 hours on the computer (Over the weeks of course!) looking at every site about making an ad. It has to be a video ad and it has to look like a professional ad as well. I only have a short time to get it all ready. So please, any advice or sites that i could look up!

By making a video, do you mean using Microsoft PowerPoint? Or, are you speaking about taping someone live doing the ad while taping the ad using a video camera of some kind?

No matter which way that you mean for the ad to be presented. I know that you would need some facts about obesity. So, I would suggest doing a Google search for the following words: obesity facts. Read the articles and learn the facts as presented in the information that you are reading.

Then I would begin the presentation with something like, "The Truth and Myths About Obesity - Facts and Fiction."

Then, based upon the facts and myths about obesity that you have learned, you present your ad from the standpoint of someone who knows the facts and wants to dispell the misinformation that there is about obesity.

I.e. - People who are obese are that way because they eat too much all the time. They could control why they are obese or fat through good nutrition and better eating habits. Eating in moderation, etc.

Then, you go on to explain why this is a misconception about why some people are obese and don't necessarily have much control as to why they are obese. Example: people who are diabetics.

I'm sure that you could continue with the ideas from here.

I hope that this has been helpful to you.
