Above was a picture I taken while I'm follow a trip to Padang Kota Lama when I'm studying at Polytechnic. Main purpose of this trip was study urban context and related it to our final project. Never expected I have a changes to use this picture again, after I graduat from Polytechnic. Thought it just a memory before I joined USM.
Six element of production shows in picture:
Intention:An element that effected results of product, should be placed on the first placed to produce a product. What's the intention of this places? Obviosly, to attract tourist to visit. What's the intention of tourist visit this places? To feel the characteristic of tropica countries, as well as historic location with.
Actor:A park, the rules, need an actor to play with, pedestrian and tourist are playing important part of it. Tourist who relaxing themself on a bench, under the shade of a tree, proper use of facilities in this park. The boy who carring a beg in hurry, pedicap shows the formation of the local characteristics. Differences were every actor holding their own characteristic while playing the act. As mentioned in element of act above. Same motive and intention, but different way to carry on.
Place: Generally a park was the first image that can easily find out in this picture. where those facilities such as lamppost, pedestrian, bollard, bench and of course, green plants that mostly attracted , which identified what places it was. Buses and other transportation were dispaly the attraction. In advanced, pedicab on the right appearance believe that become one of the feature there, be sure that this park located in tropical countries, where located at Malaysia, which had diferrent kind of complexion and tropical plants.
Act :
Different character carried by different individual. Apparently two tourist who relaxed themself, enjoying the environment, fearless of the eyes from others. One of them pad on his legs on the bench with sun glasses, under the cool shade of a tree .A boy cross the road with carring a beg, seem in hurry,Formation and the former completely different. Review carefully the relevant, The beg that carried by the boy, colors and stripes are matched with 2 buses where parked side of the road. Believed he was following a trip from college. Pedicab was taking his part as well, awaiting passenger, with a pack of drink hanging on the cab...
Rule:Rules are taught on proper way to do. Public goods haven't been used correctly as well, the tourist pad his legs on the bench, people may be unable to sit, his behavior shows no respect for others. Second, the boy who crossing the road have never shows his safety awareness, without paying attenting to traffic. Cars and Buses were parked everywhere where should't be parked, blocking the traffic. But in another perspective, cars and buses were parked row by row, clear a way in front of bollard, so it wont affect pedestrian form enetring the park. It's different view that shows they obeying the rules.
