Reflection On Traffic Jam

In ESL classes this semester 2, we make a poster of the video that we created in English lessons. We can choose a suitable photo for our poster, whether it's from Flickr and use Creative Commons or take photo by our self. We must show the emotive language that can make people excited to see it.

I prefer take a pictures of Mini Metro bus to be my poster. I chose my own pictures because the Bus Metro Mini will be my inspiration to get my emotive language for my poster. It’s showing us that Metro Mini Bus always threw of the gas that can harm us, our environment, and also create a pollution be spread. Including my movie is about public transportation that is; does public transportation in Jakarta is an effective mode to reduce air pollution.

Then we uploaded the picture that we have chosen or token by our self into the website named Bighugelabs. In this website, we can added our title, tagline, and credits. Tagline is important because, in the poster should be words that can attract people's attention, to awaken the people of Jakarta and Indonesia to build more advanced in terms of reducing this increased pollution. The tagline that I chose is, “Massive Vehicles, How can we change?” In this words is saying many vehicles that threw the gas everyday, and how can we change if the pollution came out again and every time, to be not pollution.

My title is Traffic Jam because, I think it’s attract people to know more about Traffic Jam in Jakarta, that can affected to the air pollution and about sickness. I also use emotive language for the poster because; it’s attracted people to be aware of Jakarta now. Credits also important because, in the poster all people must know whom the writers, photography and the editors, and the song.

I hope my poster will attract people to be aware of Jakarta, and can change Jakarta to be better. If I can change Jakarta to be better, first that I’ll do is makes many plants, and I’ll protect the forests from wood tiff that cut it of all day, and not planting anymore.

The part that is easy to me is to take a picture by myself and uploaded the picture to bighugelabs. It’s easy because, I like to take a picture of Jakarta. The part that is hard to me is, to make the tagline that can attract people to know more about Jakarta because; I need to be creative for the words. The words that I’ll make for the information is, Massive Vehicles, Traffic Jam, How can we Change? Because, the information from the documentary is says “As you know that Jakarta is the biggest city in Indonesia and produce 13.000 tons of carbon dioxide, EVERY DAY. And it’s the huge of pollutions.”

  1. Hi Alia,

    Thank you for sharing your work and reflection. I really like that you chose a topic in your local community. This often means people will feel more concerned to act because it is about something that is close to them. I understand what you mean about how difficult it is to write a tag line. I often think this is because it is difficult to express ourselves using very few words. It means we have to choose our words carefully!

    Thanks again. I enjoyed seeing your work and I am sure you will enjoy looking back at it as the school year progresses.
