What is a Caption?
explanation for a picture or
illustration
KINDS of Caption:
1. Identification bar: Jenis caption ini hanya
menyebutkan siapa yang berada di gambar
2. Cutline: Jenis caption ini menyebutkan siapa
yang berada digambar dan apa yang
dilakukannya
3. Summary: Berisi penjelasan lengkap
tentang siapa yang berada digambar, apa yang
dilakukan, kapan kejadiannya, dimana tempat
terjadinya, dan kenapa hal tersebut dilakukan.
4. Expanded: Bentuk lebih lengkap dari
summary, jenis caption ini juga memuat
bagaimana kejadiannya dan kutipan.
5. Group identification: Sama seperti
jenis caption identification bar, hanya saja
jenis ini digunakan apabila gambar
memuat lebih dari satu orang.
6. Quote: Berisi kutipan perkataan
seseorang yang berhubungan dengan
gambar.
NOW, we focus on
QUOTE CAPTION
Let’s compare:

Picture 1 Picture 2

Poverty shackles life My hands are handcuffed

Which one is a Good Caption?

Picture 1 has a good caption. The caption does not only
describe the picture but also gives meaning behind the picture

The caption in Picture 2 only describes the picture and DOES

NOT gives meaning behind the picture. Therefore it’s
considered NOT GOOD Caption
