Problem: Article: Always note local laws before you start advertising. Private property is often closed off to you. Public sidewalks and universities are often safe distribution points. Make sure you are allowed to visit businesses, open mailboxes, or drop fliers at front doors. When you are asked to leave a non-public area, leave without a fight. Look like you belong by dressing like those around you. People will be more receptive to your message when you appear approachable. Focus audience attention on your message, not yourself. In an average area, you probably won't want to wear ragged jeans. You wouldn't advertise your restaurant on the street while wearing a suit and tie, either. Sometimes you may find a creative approach, such as a costume when advertising to children, to be beneficial. People outside the target group may be less likely to take your leaflet, however. Your sales pitch should be short but descriptive. You may say, "Would you like to learn about vegetarian eating?" or "Come eat homemade pizza at Primavera Pizza" as you hand out your leaflet. These messages describe your purpose without being offensive or forceful. Keep in mind that direct contact like this is an opportunity to answer questions and refer people to additional resources. Approach everyone with a smile. Do not hound people with your leaflets. Don't get into any heated debates. When someone is rude, excuse yourself from conversation. Good manners will make people more likely to accept your leaflets. Seeing discarded leaflets may make you feel bad, but leaving them on the street can be bad for your cause. Multiple discarded leaflets make it look like your logo or message has been ignored. Also, these fliers form unappealing litter.
Summary: Research local distribution laws. Dress appropriately for the area. Come up with a sales pitch. Be polite. Pick up dropped leaflets.

Problem: Article: Before making a detailed storyboard of your PSA, create an outline of the film's flow. Identify key scenes and characters. Come up with a hook or catch phrase. Write it all out using a basic outline format that you can change and edit. Brainstorm with your colleagues using your outline. The outline includes things like setting and location, and film style. Do you want it to be a narrated story? An interview? A flashback? A dream? How do you want to send your message? How many scenes or shots will you include in your film? This is going to be important in your editing phase. Decide how long you want the film to be and what tone you want the PSA to have (funny, serious, fearful, sad). Using the notes from your outline, write the dialogue (narration) for your PSA film, for each scene. Use conversational language, with your facts inserted into it. The language should include your hook and emotional statements that get attention. You can create a multi-column script if you are filming two versions of your film. One column will have dialogue for the 30-second version, the other will have dialogue for the 60-second version. Read your script out loud and time it to make sure it fits into the allotted 30-second time limit. Using your outline and script, create a storyboard of your film. The storyboard includes sketches of each scene, with detailed descriptions underneath the sketch. It is a visual representation of your outline. You can also include pieces of script in the details under your sketches. For a 30-second PSA film, you should have about four to six sketches on your storyboard. It is helpful to know what kind of camera equipment you will need to shoot your film, especially if you are not hiring a production company to shoot it for you. You will need to know what camera you need and what angles to shoot each scene in. Using your storyboard, create a shot list. A shot list is a spreadsheet that describes every shot of your film. It includes locations, characters, camera angle, the description of the shot, and dialogue. This is the final step in mapping out what your scenes are going to look like. It is also useful for scheduling studio time.
Summary: Create an outline. Write a script. Create a storyboard. Know the technical requirements. Create a shot list.

Problem: Article: Make sure that there are no split ends in your hair. Add an anti-frizz serum, if needed. For a tutorial, visit wikiHow to Blow Dry Your Hair. You can use a traditional curling iron to achieve this. You can use just bobby pins, a water spray bottle, and a brush to achieve this look. Begin with dry hair. Create the "curl." Divide the hair into small sections as you go. Take a small section (like you would create to use a curling iron), and wrap it around your finger. How you wrap the hair will be how the curl will fall. It should look like a perfect circle against your scalp. Gather the section and pin it. Create a perfect circle by lifting up the strand of and compressing it gently. Using a bobby pin, pin the curl. Continue until all of your hair is pinned. Spray your entire head with the water bottle. Your entire head should be damp (not soaked). Add salt to the water bottle for more texture. Let dry. You will be ready to remove the bobby pins when the curls are completely dry. You can use a hair dryer to speed up this process. Remove all of the bobby pins. Your curls should be both tight and should hold well. Using your fingers, gently shake the curls loose. Spray your hair with hairspray. Hold the curls up as your gently mist the curls. Using a comb or a small teasing brush, gather the hair at the top of your head and gently tease the back of it. Using just your fingers (not a brush), gather your hair in a ponytail. Attempt to keep the crown of your head voluminous. The ponytail can be any height, depending on the look your want. Get the ponytail and wrap the hair around the elastic holding the ponytail together in order to create a bun. Using a second elastic, fasten the bun. Re-curl them, if desired.
Summary: Blow dry your hair to give it body. Curl your hair without heat. Tease the crown of your head. Create a ponytail. Gather the "tail" and wrap it. For a "piecey" look, pull a few small strand of hair from the ponytail. Finished.

Problem: Article: Your car needs to have enough gasoline to fill the cylinders in order to start. If your fuel gauge is broken you should put fuel in your car and try to start it before proceeding. Try turning on your headlights, if your headlights are burning normally then your battery should be sufficiently charged. If the headlights are dim or do not turn on at all you may need to jumpstart your car. To rule out a blown fuse you should take a quick look in your fuse box. Blown fuses can usually be identified by a black or burnt looking spot in the middle of the fuse. Any fuse in question should be checked with a light tester or replaced.
Summary:
Check to make sure you have fuel. Check your battery. Scan your fuse box.
