Reflection
This video was created to inform Philadelphians about the CSX Crude Oil Trains that pass through Philadelphia. I chose this topic because many Philadelphians like myself were naive that trains transporting oil pass through our city. There has been no plan for evacuation created in case an explosion happens. These trains go past the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, North Philadelphia, and Center City where many people live. The fumes these trains leave behind makes our environment worse than it already is. I think all residents should be aware of what passes through their neighborhoods that could potentially harm them.
My contributions to this project were editing footage and audio for the public service announcement video. Also, I organized times to record and the content that should be displayed in the video. I gathered most of the statistical information presented to viewers. I did well with researching and relaying information, but I could have communicated with my group members more about their contributions. The most meaningful part of the experience of creating the PSA was getting the SLA Beeber community involved in the project and their opinions. This opened up my eyes to how many people don’t know about what goes on in the places they live in. I think this issue should be brought to the attention of lawmakers, so they could create regulations for the CSX Crude Oil Trains and a plan of evacuation if an accident is to occur.
