PSA: Missing Something?
Missing Something? is a Public Service Announcement designed to convince a teenage audience to practice healthy eating habits by eating breakfast daily. The PSA consists of short cuts of a girl going through all the steps of an average morning routine—waking up, brushing her teeth, applying deodorant, pulling on her shirt, grabbing her keys and backpack--but never eating breakfast. In the end, the viewer realizes that something is missing in the routine through the absence of a surprise visual element as well. This unexpected use of humor is intended to capture the attention of the teenage audience.

Creative way of getting the point across. Loved it.

Funny way of getting your point across - sometimes I wonder if PSAs like this work or not (i.e. do people remember the fact about teens not eating breakfast and make a point to change their habits OR do people remember that they saw a movie where someone forgot to wear pants/skirt/shorts/etc), but assuming it DOES work, this video was shot nicely, edited at a nice pace and had a nice feel to it.
