Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has not appeared to be contained, and instead countries around the world are preparing to embrace it as an endemic. This is shown from a number of visual campaigns created to inform and educate the public on how to live side-by-side with the wide spreading virus. Indonesia, as one of the countries with the worst casualties, has also recently been introduced to the #SemuaWajibPakaiMasker public service announcement (PSA) visual campaign widely distributed by government ministries’ official social media accounts. At the same time, Singapore, who appeared to have prepared for living with the virus, has also launched its massive #TestTraceVaccinate campaign. Combining Kress and Leeuwen’s (2020) framework of reading images and Machin and Mayr’s (2012) representational strategies in visual communication, this study examines the visual messages in both campaign videos to see how issues of coping with the pandemic are represented and produced in each campaign video. The findings of this study are beneficial as insights to provide recommendations for the Indonesian government on what paramount considerations are in producing campaign videos by looking at how each video considers what and who are represented, how the participants interact, and how the relevant frames are composed.
