My goal for this personal project is to raise awareness regarding the air pollution issue in Jakarta by making a mini/short documentary film that will explain and share a message regarding the issue and the possible solutions we can do to solve it as a community. I decided that this will be my personal project because I have always enjoyed watching educational/documentary films and I also feel like air pollution is a big problem in Jakarta, and can be a huge threat to both humans and the environment.

I plan for my documentary film to be uploaded publicly to Youtube and will be at least 15 minutes long. I chose 15 minutes as my targeted duration for the documentary because I feel like that is the perfect time to inform as much information to the audience as possible without making the film too long and boring. I also plan to have at least 200 views for my documentary film, because it seems like an achievable goal to spread a message regarding air pollution. Through this, I hope that my personal project can share the message and raise awareness regarding air pollution in Jakarta, and that the audience starts to take action to minimize air pollution.

During the entire process of learning and product creation, I mainly used two different ATL skills. The first ATL skill I used is research skills. I first used this skill during my research phase, in which research skill helps me formulate research questions, and also find reliable information on the internet. I also used research skills later on in the interview phase, in which I used the skill to formulate and ask questions to the interviewee that I would have never found the answer to if I were to search online. In my opinion, this skill is very important to my project because it helped me formulate the questions I want to know about more and also find the answers to my questions using reliable sources.

The second ATL skill I used is communication skill. Throughout the entire project, I mostly used communication skills to communicate with my mentor regarding the progress of my project. I also used it to communicate with my interviewee before and during the interview, in which I used the communication skills to ask her the questions I want to ask during the interview process. I also used communication skills when I am making the script and narrating the documentary, in which it helps me to find a good way to convey a message to the audience and also find an interesting way to communicate to the audience so that they don't get easily bored while watching the documentary.

There are some challenges that I faced during the process of making this project. The first challenge is time management, in which halfway through the project, I was unable to find an interviewee, which made me late on doing. other parts of this project. I think the main problem is that I don't know anyone that is an expert in air pollution, which made me have to rely on or ask my parents whether they know any experts on the subject. However, I was able to finish my project eventually, because I was able to finish the recording and editing stages faster than I expected to.

The second challenge I faced during the project-making phase is the promoting phase of my project. Even though the view count in my Youtube video is well over 200 views, there aren't a lot of people that did my feedback form, and in the end, I only receive 7 responses in my feedback form. This made it hard for me to evaluate what the audience thinks of my documentary film since there was only a small percentage of my viewers that did the survey. If I had the chance to re-do this project again, I would probably encourage the viewers to do my feedback form by also putting the feedback form link when sending the link of my video to my relatives. This way, I think more people would consider doing the forms since I think not a lot of people opened the descriptions tab of my Youtube video.

In terms of knowledge, the impact of this personal project on me is that I am now able to understand the causes/effects of air pollution, and I can now understand the possible and alternative solutions we can all do to prevent air pollution from spreading or worsening. I learned that through researching and interviewing experts, which lets me widen my knowledge regarding air pollution. From this personal project, I also learned how to properly make a documentary film, and how to properly convey a message to the audience through a documentary film.

The impact of this project on the community is that other people will now understand and be more aware of the dangers of air pollution, and also how we as a community can solve this issue. Using my feedback forms, I also learned that the majority of my viewers ended up understanding the message and contents of the documentary.
