first sem's half way. and the party's just started. or maybe you're not enjoying the ride :(
but i hope you are :)
again, i am very sory for all the discomforts i may have brought you.
if it's not too much to ask and hope, it is in my highest aspiration that you too are having fun and in the process are learning some things too while at it :)
before i jump to the next agenda of tonight's blog post, let me just say my general reaction to your documentaries.
1. let me start with a positive note. i have noticed that all of you got it right - the importance of an interesting opening. so kudos to that! :)
2. except for the few that i applauded its rhythm and tone, majority needs improvement. u tend to forget that many times, the audience's idea of a TV watch is - entertainment, more than anything else. your content, more or less, is passable but as i've told you in the earlier weeks, the message is the massage. your delivery matters a lot. it is okay to slice and cut your interviewee's lengthy lines. work on it. learn how to shorten the running time without sacrificing the content as much as possible. always fast-phased it. be audience-friendly.
3. this one i don't want you to forget the lesson:
macko, on the day of submission, was having problems on file conversion and burning dvd among other things. but came the time to pass, he had the copy presented with a slight format difference that our dvd player can not read. thankfully, the laptop can read it.
for me, that was a calculated risk. and it worked.
of course, this is not to discount groups that were able to finished days before that saturday. finishing early is the best option. it should be the practice. but if comes the time of pressure and deadline, nothing beats he/she who beats it.
of course, provided that it will work.
and THAT'S THE SPIRIT!
..the goal this exercise was trying to prove.
in the real trade, you can always complain, why not?! but alongside that, is your worth. one of that is beating the deadline.
this was my same sentiment when one time, one of you was scheduled to report a certain topic but wasn't able to come without a notice.
because no one, including me, will prepare for what should be done by you. in the TV production set-up, the show should air whatever obstacle(s) it has encountered along the way.
but of course, everything's under the bridge now :)
and for lack of better term, i must say that those who passed their documentaries after that saturday, were excused and all reasons accepted.
i would like to believe that for all its worth (whatever it means to you), you've experienced time harassment and other things associated. borrowing chicago bulls' dennis rodman's words - you should not miss twice.
now, goin to main dish:
after finishing our topic on docu, the unscripted height, your final exam will deal on the scripted and narrative rockstardom - tv series writing and production. we will still tackle other TV formats like demo, panel, etc.
but so as u know and to be prepared early, each meeting will be divided in two parts. our regular lessons as scheduled and an hour for the TV series topic - brainstorming; the big arc and subplots mapping; dividing the season to weeks, to episodes and to bodies; scripting; casting and other pre-prod concerns; shooting and editing.
as you requested, there will only be two groups. the morning and the afternoon group. so participate actively during open discussions, i will tell you this now and will not remind you again - everything that you will say during brainstorming sessions will be graded. so please participate. no matter how silly or trivial your contribution may seem, it will nonetheless help in keeping the discussions alive and rolling :)
anyway, let's just cross the bridge when we get there :)
for now, if you have some idle time, please do watch TV series of your choice. that's your assignment for the coming weeks. and we will discuss things on class :)
don't worry about your grades (at least for now, if you can't fully agree on it :)).
just let me see your effort and everything will follow kewl :)
anyway, what's in a grade?! ..it can't even buy you your pair of shoes!
:)
c u saturday!
and if it's not too much to ask, please don't absent yourself :)
..because i've been missing you a lot!
oh-ha! ..may mga ganung kakornihan :) hehe
kita kits mga repakols at repapips!
:)

unannounced, uninvited, unwanted
a.
first, i will say an announcement you already know: this saturday, aug 16, walang klase :)
b.
just a few reminders left:
-don't forget that on aug 23, you will also submit a 15 seconder or a 30 seconder plug of your docu
-please save your raw materials. i will collect it next saturday aug 23. this is for a possible re-edit if tv5 deemed it necessary. but don't worry, the re-edit is on me. and again, as ive mentioned weeks earlier, we will hope and strive that our documentaries are air-worthy (audio and video quality, etc). some things can't be fixed on edit :(
-during your shoot, please no product intrusion unless it's an x-deal. don't shoot with brand names captured in your frames. same goes with the credits.
-your script and sequence guide are just that.. guide(s). adjust if you must and break the rules. kung ano sa tingin nyo ang mas makakaganda ..yun yun! :)
c.
a prelude to what will
..
the shortest possible time, the darkest possible theme, in the most upbeat way - TV mainstream at its peak, combined with the indie spirit we aspire and live.
welcome!
..to the delegates of this year's annual philippine aswang convention,
magandang gabi sa inyong lahat.
i was doing my astral travel last week when i saw some of you leaving your house almost midnight before the blinding rain.
like the vampires of the west or the sigbin of the south, my friends here from abscbn was doing their rounds in the compound looking for coffee so as to awaken their blood and consciousness. hindi na tayo sanay ngayon sa sikat ng araw sa umaga. masakit na sa mata. at kulay pula na ang default mode ng ating paningin.
gabi!
..ito ang working hours. and it will be an invalid alibi to be late during night's meetings. but a late morning showing up is understandable.
the dark themed concepts are no longer alien to us.
after reading manga and watching many beautiful animes, thanks to japan, our mind is now more open to textured and non-orthodox tv series that bombarded local free channels.
this is the epitome of working class's struggle to watch tv and drink beer while watching their favorite TV shows after the day's work. but of course, not the free tv. but cable shows.
(to be continued soon)

silence can make u fart!
just to remind everybody..
sana hindi nyo pa nalilimutan mga napagusapan natin regarding do's and dont's in making documentaries and in interviewing your resource person :)
..katulad ng:
-wag kayo male-late sa kausap nyo,
-during interviews hayaan nyo syang magsalita hanggang matapos ang sinasabi nya and saka kayo mag-follow-up question after his/her sentences (mas madali ang buhay nyo sa edit pag ganun)
-etc. hindi ko na uulitin, nasa book yan, napagusapan na natin dati pa.
add ko lang, kasi may mga nagtatanong:
-as a matter of courtesy, kapag may tinawagan kayo na source person, magpakilala kayo kung sino kayo, orient him kung para saan ang interview and ano ang relevance nya sa topic nyo. short description lang.
-kung hindi naman nagtatanong kung ano itatanong nyo, u don't have to narrate lahat ng mga itatanong nyo. tsaka na sa actual interview. don't take too much of his time on the fone, ganun den sa actual interview. no complicated camera set-up na maiinip sya sa kahihintay, etc. and be precise and exact sa mga tanong. don't eat too much of his time.
-im worried about the quality of audio. okey sana kung may mic kayo or lapel mic or boom mic. pero kung wala, make sure na nasa matahimik kayong place. super tahimik. buti sana ang stand-upper ng host, pwedeng i-dub. pero ang upsot ng iniinterview, hindi naman pwede i-dub. so make sure na nasa super tahimik kayong place duting interviews. kami nga, kahit may maayos na mic, pinapatay pa den namin ang electric fan or aircon or anumang ingay na akala nyo minimal lang pero sa edit maririnig nyo na may mga nakakairita palang tunog..
-as much as possible, kung mapapatayo ang docu ng minimal lang ang vo, mas okey yun. ang vo is to aid dun sa mga dugtong at segue na hindi magawan ng paraan ng video. pero kugn tatayo ang docu g minimal ang explanation coming from the host, mas okey.
-don't forget your framing and composition. wag basta mag-frame na parang teleserye lang. astig na framing mga repapips. but of course, not too experimental na hindi na maiintindihan ni aleng bebang :)
-i suggest, unahin nyong mag-shoot ng interviews before spiels and vo. kasi may mga lalabas sa interviews na hindi nyo mafo-foresee.
-seq. guide and scripts are just that.. GUIDE. kung anumang mangyaring enexpected sa shoot, yun yun. don't hesitate magdagdag or magbawas ng kung anumang chenes kung sa tingin nyo ay kelangan.
-don't use heavy words if possible. unless yun yung novelty ng docu nyo.
-sa lahat ng pinupuntahan nyo, don't forget, kumuha ng mga establishing shots and pang-insert mats. halimbawa, si mayor ang pinuntahan nyo.. so kuha kayo ng shots ng munisipyo, ng trophies nya, ng mga behind the scenes na kinakausap nya staff nya or kayo ang kinakausap nya, etc.
-shoot in difrent angles if possible. meron kayong details, meron kayong long shot, may mid shot.
-ideally, SHOOT WITH THE EDIT IN MIND. pero kung hindi pa kayo confident sa full script nyo, shoot all the possible footage, interviews,etc na pwede nyong magamit sa edit. madali na lang magbawas sa edit :)
-keep your docu upbeat and tv friendly as possible. And fast phased. Also, don’t hesitate to put humor if necessary. Sa mga host, be camera friendly – presentable. Wala sanang eyebugs, etc. iba yung novelty ng haggard na reporter after nya ma-kidnap ng abu sayyaf at lumabas sya sa camera ng andungis dungis nya. Kasi yun yung benta. But otherwise, keep urself presentable.
-originally, iniisip ko, around seven minutes ang docu nyo. pero kung hindi kaya, tipong around 5 minutes lang, okey lang. wag nyo pilitin i-stretch. dapat fast phased po. and kung tingin nyo naman, hindi kasya sa 7 minutes, na kelangan pa ng mas mahabang running time, walang problema :)
-use only original music. unless may written permission kayo sa owner ng music. so either gumamit kayo ng software na nagce-create ng music or may kakilala kayong banda na wala pang record label at may original silang kanta or kayo mismo ang gumawa ng music nyo.
wala na ako maalala pang reminders for now. basta, when in doubt, ask me agad!
and to continue..
more or less, okey na naman kayo sa shoot e..
kung may mga pagbabago man sa script, editing concerns na yun. basta solve kayo sa mga tanong sa kelangan nyong interviewhin, then it will follow.. makikita nyo na den kung anong mga dapat na segue from one sequence to another (vo man or stand-upper oncam).
the complete and real script will come after you shoot all your interviews, reenactments, video mats, etc.
may mga pagkakataong, during edit, nagbabago pa den kayo ng script. dahil dun nyo lang mararamdaman ang tamang tempo na akala nyo ay okey na noong sinusulat nyo ang script.
okey, alam nyo na naman mga yan..
para lang akong baklang direktor dito na nagtatatalak.. nyahahhaha :)
to be more specific..
1. VEGETARIANISM, the new trend
-wala kayong case study
-hindi ko alam ha.. at baka naman lalabas pag nagawa nyo na, pero hindi gano litaw yung point. na this is the new trend. that this is not only healthy, this is fashionable now.
2. ONLINE GAMES, CLANS AND SEX
-feeling ko hilaw pa yung script. wala pang malalim na digging regarding the subject. may mga napagusapan tayo sa class nung kausapin ko each group, i-add nyo yung mga sinabi ko. like yung makukunan ng real footage yung e.b. and/or s.e.b. nila, etc.
-okey yung idea ng seq 1, pero sorry ha.. nakokornihan ako :) sori :) ..baka u can come up with a difrent situation or twist :)
-madalas kayo gumamit ng heavy words like tunghayan, pagyabong, etc.
avoid it. online games kayo, so dapat mas youth oriented ang gamit nyo na words, don't use heavy words
3. SUPER HUMANS
-hindi pa script yung hard copy na nasakin. nasa gitna sya ng sequence guide and script. yung vo and spiels, even yung ibang mga tanong, explanation pa lang sya ng kung anong lalabas sa script.
-sa page 2 nyo sa hard copy, meron dun positives and negatives of having this kind of ability. yung iba, nakakapagnakaw dahil sa hypnotism, etc. You can add real accounts. research. mga tabloid (or baka pwede den sa totoong news talaga) headlines (and news) ng (name of tabloid or newspaper or online news).
4. SA PANAGINIP NG KATOTOHANAN
-sorry, but i think you have to change your title. it is too mowelfund.
-sa 1st page, yung intro of host (marisz and j.e), THAT WAS FUCKIN GOOD! ..there is an illusion na naka-fast-phased ang blahblah :)
-wala kayong expert's side. something na pwedeng magpaliwanag academically and objectively, pwedeng mag-analyze ng mga pangyayaring ito.
5. KOMERSYAL
-VERY GOOD!
-ask ko lang pala, sino iinterviewhin nyo sa UB? im sure u know it naman pero sabihin ko na den.. interviewhin nyo kung sinumang may kinalaman sa commercial nila. wag naman from a random lang na estudyante dun.
6. TALISAY BATANGAS
-malilimutin lang ba ako o wala pa talaga :) ..ano title nyo?
-okey na mga questions nyo.
-yez, i agree, let's make this docu gov v friendly :)
7. ATHEISM
-add lang natin yung kwinento ko sa inyo na case sa US
-add den natin interview with a Philosophy prof. some philosophy of religion teacher
8. TAKDANG ARALIN
-simula pa lang, lunod na sa vo and spiels. pwede pang i-shorten :)
-seq 4 ..misdirection. as well, seq. 6, "sila pa ring responsable sa pagpapanatili ng kalinisan sa buong paaralan".
ang lumalabas kasi, kaya bumababa ang kalidad ng edukasyon kasi pinaglilinis ng school ang mga bata. it is not the issue. napakadaming reasons. research on this.
-isa pang kelangang iresearch.. ano ang actual numbers. gano tayo kababa in compare to international standards, etc. pang-ilan na ba ang pilipinas, etc. sa research makukuha ang exact numbers.
-okey yung interview sa dep ed (or ched)
-i suggest you change the title
9. STUDENT AGENT
-good intro spiels
-ooppss.. yung mga sumunod, may mga heavy words na like "sa kabilang panig ng daigdig," etc. u dont use this kind of words in conversation :)
-nakupo.. tapos na pala yun.. I think kulang pa ng lalim. lagyan nyo ng case study. and lagyan nyo den ng mga negative effects. (and of course positive effects)
10. LABAN SA KARAPATAN
- very good, simula pa lang may research na agad. may pinaghuhugutan ang isyu. add nyo lang pala, kung san nyo nakuha ang research.. "ayon sa ____________(anong survey ito at kelan? study sa pilipinas o international scope?) 40% ng lalaki at 32% ng babae ang nagkakaroon ng relasyon sa kaparehong kasarian"
-ahdunno if its okey or not pero kahit sa mga unang spiels nyo pa lang, kitang kita na agad ang biast for same sex marriage. ok ang stand. pero ang worry ko, pag simula pa lang ay ganito na, baka mawalan ng kredibilidad ang report. by this time kasi (sa part na ito ng docu, the 1st parts), wala pa gaanong todo info and interviews. pero parang buo na ang isip ng docu na mail ang simbahan. sana sa mga unang parts, expositions muna ng ng isyu. and ang pagpapahayag ng pagiging biast, mas kewl kung ang blah blah ay manggagaling sa resource persons :)
-ang title, baka we can come up den with a new one. biast na agad, feeling ko
-more or less, ok naman e (in general) :)
11. BLOGS
- as u said, problematic pa kayo sa daloy ng script nyo.. ayusin nyo na muna ang mga tanong. then hopefully, the right script will follow.
12. TATTOO
-wala ako nare-rcvd sa email (dimaiologyclass@yahoo.com) updates from you. but we have initial talks na regarding this topic. so shoo tnyo na den. but pass nyo na den yung kelangang i-pass.
dun sa mga defined na naman ang topic and concept, kahit hindi pa gano nalilinawan sa kabuuang script, shoot nyo na den. at least dapat alam nyo kung ano yung point ng docu nyo. i really suggest unahin nyo mga interviews. napakadali na ng spiels and vo pag okey na kayo sa interviews. at least, kayo na lang yun.
i will have more detailed comments tomorrow.
but for now, halos lahat kayo ready na to shoot..
so shoot it!
,
kewl!
:)

we say, "break a leg!"

tama ka, sabi mo nga, "its a good sign cause we're not just a class who nods at things, we try to ask questions".
and nung unang mga meetings pa lang natin, yun na agad ang gusto kong makita :)
noong EDSA 2, naalala ko, sa isang TV interview, iniinterview si.. nakalimutan ko na :) ..noel cabangon ata or gary granada ..tungkol ito sa pagkakawatak watak ng opinion regarding erap, people power, etc..
ang sabi ng iniinterview, "mas mabuti pang hindi magkasundo kaya nagdedebate at nagdidiskusyon ang mga matatalinong tao kesa mga bobong nagkakasundo". of course, he was not pertaining to the academic kabobohan. dahil hindi naman yun ang totoong sukatan ng pagiging henyo. he was pertaining to political dumbness and numbness.
and u said, discipline.
that's the very reason i never enrolled in any ROTC course! ..nakalagay kasi sa ROTC chenes namin na "dito sa ROTC, matututo kayo ng disiplina. tuturuan namin kayo. didisiplinahin namin kayo".
fucking shite!
the only discipline we have is self-discipline. other disciplines are simply ..well, not discipline at all. it is fear. buti sana kung respect.
so i never enrolled sa ROTC.
hindi sya para sakin :) ..pwedeng nagwo-work yun sa ibang tao pero hindi applicable sakin. ganun lang naman yun e. the very concept of democracy.
in one of the columns of dean jorge bacobe, tungkol ito sa pagkakaro'n ng bayad ng text messaging. kasi if u can recall it, nung una.. dati ..walang bayad ang text message. then nung i-announce ng smart and globe na magkakaron na ng bayad ang text messaging, andaming umangal. welga-welgahan pa sa kalye, sa blogs, sa columns, etc. sabi sa argument ni dean bacobo.. that's the very principle of democracy! ..that's the very reason nagwo-work ang democracy sa pilipinas.
babayadan mo ang mga goods na kelangan or gusto mo. kung may libre, ayus! ..pero kung kelangang bayadan.. babayadan. kung ayaw mo, then don't purchase it.
hindi naman bigas ang text messaging e.
oh-ha! ..napadami na naman 'ata ang intro ko :) hehe
okey, to recap things..
and to update..
nagsend na ako emails sa inyo. at least isa per group. hindi ko na ma-email all members of the group. sori, nagmamadali ako. itanong nyo na lang sa groupmate nyo yung comments ko.
kahit hindi na tom yung script.
sa saturday na lang, sa klase natin.
bring hard copy and a soft copy. magdala lang kayo flashhdrive, kopyahin ko lang sa laptop.
pero dont forget the hard copy pa den.
sori, gtg na!
kanina pa ako late sa kelangan kong puntahan :(
please chek ur email now.. and ask ur groupmates.
kita kits!

ang antolohiya ng mga makabagbag-damdaming tanong
:)
..this is my 3rd or 4th post for this week.
i just hope na lahat nabasa nyo yung mga nauna pa :)
kung hindi pa, tingnan nyo ngayon sa baba.. :)
..baket ko nasabi to? ..at baket alam ko na may ibang hindi pa nakakabasa ng blogspot? ..may group na nagsubmit kanina thru email ng kanilang revised sequence guide.
okey yun, nakalagay yun sa mga earlier posts ko to submit the revised sequence guide (kung may nirevise ang group). the only problem is.. maling topic ang ipinasa nila :(
it is clear po na hindi nabasa ang posts :(
..yung iba naman, in parts lang ang nabasa. yung inaakala lang na applicable sa kanila. tapos may itinanong sa email. alam nyo kung san ko kinuha ang reply ko? copy, paste from the blogspot :(
waaahhh!
:)
thanx wandering eyes :) ..for the continuous comments. and syempre, sa lahat den ng nagcocomments and nagfe-feedback :) ..syempre hindi ko malalaman ang gusto nyong sabihin at nararamdaman kung hindi nyo sasabihin. negative and positive comments from you, mga repapips at repakols, will always be appreciated :)
may nag-email den po kung nabwibwiset na daw ako sa kakulitan ng klase regarding possible adjustments and request particularly ngayong andaming reactions regarding groupings. i will say with all the honesty, "hindi".
kaya nga ingat na ingat akong magtunog galit ang wordings ko. wala ganong exclamation points, walang bold and big letters, etc. kasi baka mapagkamalan nyong galet ako :(
yun ang hirap sa letters and sentence lang na walang tunog, ng hindi personal na paguusap. para ding txt message.. minsan, iba ang tono ng sender sa inaakala ng receiver.
in my yesterday's post, it was a calm explanation of things i want to say. imagine me telling u all those blablah in front of the class.. di ba sa class, i was saying profanities like fuck, shet, etc.. but you know im not mad or whatever to that effect. either i said that to stress some points and/or emotions or it was just part of the sentence :)
another thing,
im checking now my email dimaiologyclass@yahoo.com,
hindi pa po nakakapagpasa ang iba.
late again :(
anyway, nasabi ko naman na kung walang gustong baguhin ang group, okey na yun!
so i assume, yung mga hindi nagpasa ng revised seq. guide, inaprub na ng group ang existing seq guide :)
dun sa mga nagpasa, im reading it now. pero hindi ako maka-concentrate dahil nasa shoot ako ngayon. may tatlo kayong kaklase na ka-txt ko ngayon regarding topics and groupings. okey yun! as ive said, when in doubt, ask!
as ive said in my earlier posts, pagka-rcv ko ng revised seq. guide nyo, ibabalik ko yun same day wedenesday or thursday morning with my comments para magawan nyo na ng script. mukhang yung second option ang matutupad ko. mukhang di ko kakayanin na ma-send today. but rest assured that as ive told u, tomorrow morning, u will have my comments.
minsan, nakaka-reply ako sa email. pero sa ngayon, mostly hindi ako makasagot sa individual emails nyo. pero ipo-post ko lahat d2 sa blogspot answers ko sa mga inquiries nyo and concerns. pag may nalilimutan akong sagutin o sabihin, please alert me agad.
so may mga pagkakataong in a day, hindi lang isang beses ako magpopost d2 sa blogspot. baka yung nasa upper part lang ang nababasa nyo. chek nyo na den po, scroll down. kc baka may mga earlier posts ako.
i will end this post today with a corny cliché
:)
"in the end, the only people who will fail are those who did not try."

Yo! Hehehe makulit talaga kame...sometimes its a good sign cause we're not just a class who nods at things, we try to ask questions,
I remember one time in our recollection, our facilitator commented that there will really be times when we won't just stop arguing because we have our different opinions. But regards to the last post in this blog, yung before this (bakit nga ba dito ako nagpopost?!) I think classmates, excuses are excuses, hindi pagiging inquisitive. There will alwyas be time that things won't go our way, and I have learned that lesson the hard way, (kaya nga minsan e hindi tayo nagkakaintindihan kasi gusto natin nasusunod lahat ng gusto natin),
Hindi matuturo sa skul ang disiplina, hindi yan maitututro ng kahit na sinong teacher, it just comes with time and sometimes we feel frustrated and say its just unfair when in fact hindi lang naman talaga nasunod ang gusto natin. We blame others for the faults that we have inflicted upon ourselves. So classmates as future professional, i think we better stop bitchin other people and say dumb excuses like "bakit yung iba?"

the plan versus the popular request
it has been an active communication for the past days, huh! :)
u know what's my 1st part.. to answer questions :)
..
1. OH-M-G! ..may nagkamali ako ng lagay sa group?! sinong kaklase nyo ang nalagay ko sa maling time-slot? im really sorry. my mistake. i need to know asap. email me soonest. or ask ur classmates that know my number then text me kung sino yun.. asap!
im really sorry :(
2. number of members for each group.
i really thought that my math is right. here's the equation. for those topics that i think will consume much energy and money because the scope is too big or the logistics are far or concepts needs to be defined more (whatever is applicable), i put more members. for those topics that are more defined, or with lesser scope, or with lesser research needed, or with resource person already in-contact with the members (whatever is applicable), i put less members.
also, per group, there are some common denominators with the members. for example, all "poverty" topics were grouped into one; all food topics were grouped into one; and so on and so forth.
by if i am wrong, then i stand to be corrected
3. allan lina, ikaw den ba yung tinutukoy ng item number 1? kasi, meron kang ka-group. sina jaeda abansi, etc ng student agent. so panghapon ka? sorry ha, hindi ko kasi dala dz minute ang records nyo, di ko ma-chek now. kung afternoon class ka, you go to the topic "online games".
i hope i answered all your questions.
now, this is my piece for tonite..
the question with regards to number of members per group is valid, understandable and comprehensible.
but it lacks emotional logic and true math wit.
now that i made a mistake of allan lina putting him on morning sked instead of the afternoon class (kung sya nga 'yun. but i have no way of checking it this minute because i don't have the record at hand), all the morning class groups have members of either 2 or 3. am i right? no matter how i flip that calculation, it is telling me that there can be no other equation that will arrive at a different arithmetic. if i get a member from morning class group 1 to morning class group 5, then the same number of 2 members will just transfer from one group to another group.
and i don't want to put a morning class student to a group of afternoon class. and vice versa.
now, with afternoon class:
you have members of either 3 or 4. am i right? same explanation above (the morning class' explanation). taking out a member from afternoon class group 3 (and giving it to afternoon class group 1) will just arrive at the same numbers. only now, that group 1 will have 4 members and group 3 with 3 members.
do u get the equation?
now, the larger scope
(at least in numbers),
u may ask, "why is it that morning class have seven topics approved and the afternoon class with only 5 topics to produced?"
in your logic (which of course is mathematically logical, i admit), this is the very cause why the afternoon class is enjoying 3 to 4 members compare to morning class' only 2 to 3 members. am i right?
..(answer first that question before u proceed)
..okay,
now that u answered "yes",
i will say that it is a disappointment.
and i will say that i was surprised that some in the morning class were in question too with regards this concern.
my morning class, here's the score: the reason why you have many topics to produced is because you have many topics that passed!
of course, this is not to discount the afternoon class' topics. u know the considerations. the docu should not only be meaningful. there are many important topics that was submitted.
but other considerations are:
it's commerciability, its newness, its duplicity with other topics, its feasibility, etc.
there are important topics with its commercial viability but it duplicates other topics, or it doesn't duplicate other topics but its feasibilty is questionable.
those concerns.
other concern is: time constraint and group members with different class schedule and group members not the usual groupmates-friends
i hate to say this,
but,
do you not realize how much leeway i exerted on your past assignments, projects, absences, tardiness, etc?
i do not want to dwell much on this because this is a self-serving shit on my part. but just try. try to look at its wisdom..
why is it that prior to this project, i was in so much margin in giving you so many chances of passing late and wrong assignments, giving you make-up reports and quizzes for absences and other limitations.. then on this very important midterm project, im giving you this "inconveniences"?
i do not know if this is comprehensible but here's the map:
just i was giving too much importance on "rhythm-writing" that i almost always give reading materials, video presentations of sample movies and documentaries and writing exercises like the ad nauseam seq. guide, reaction papers, etc.. because i can not teach "rhythm-writing" by merely saying it. that i have to let u do it and experience it.. then revise it and do it again..
this is the same principle im applying now in our docu project.
why did i give u leeway on assignments and other things prior to this? because being time-harassed is not part of the learnings on those certain weeks. other disciplines were the concern during that time.
in the normal school system of professor and students academic relationship, the students should submit on time or else late submission of assignments or projects will not be accepted or graded but with deductions.
but i don not want to be the bitchy-bitchy-grumpy-strict-professor asshole.
i just want you to enjoy the sem and learn some things while at it.
why am i giving u these inconveniences now? because this is our lesson this time.
all of these hurdles like time constraints, alien groupmates, etc are the very elements that are in our module to teach you.
i can always say that in blahblah..
then you will agree and discuss things with me on class..
but as i've put importance on "rhythm-writing" that you need to experience it in order to learn, this lesson on difficulties in order to be taught is thru this.
i asked myself this morning, "do i owe them an explanation?", "is this in the normal system of professor-students academic relationships?"..
no.
this is not in the normal system of professor-students academic relationships.
no.
i do not need to explain my side.
but i want to.
and it is in my highest aspiration that u appreciate what we are doing.
it is just not me that imposes things just because the authoritarian orthodox system tells me that as a professor, i will have to do what i should.
i have plans.
and i honestly believe that u can handle these tests.
but if i am wrong, let me hear it. then we will lower the standards.

mr. d,
i have to admit you have the talent to come up with good headings.
anyway, i will be hanging in your word about the schedule, considering you yourself said that you're being piled with work.
i have to admit that coping up with your subject will be a little tricky considering that you elevated the pace of the class. But thank you, for giving us the entire schedule for this semester. Thanks to the guys who commented also...you made me feel not alone...and less than a monopoly

life, at times, is unfair!
this is my 2nd post of the day. well, gabi na ngayon :) hehe :) ..ang corny :)
this is my 2nd post of the day. itz second part. as ive told u earlier, im in a hurry. so i skip the nitty gritty blahblah for a straight-fact-in-your-face-info that needs to be deliver asap!
to begin with, i would like to say thank you for comment(s) ..and i encourage the others no matter how painful and frank your comment might be to please post it :)
i will answer his/her questions and concerns first before i go to docu matterz :)
fuck! ..that was awesome kewl! ..that was a long comment. and a good one at that! i remember a letter i read years ago. that was a long letter. none were the emails or txt or celfone or pager yet. only letters, the old-fashioned way. it was a long letter too. an overly frank, dramatic yet beautifully written one. and it ends with the line, "sorry to write you a long letter. i don't have time to write you a short one."
ahdunno if itz just me. or the importance of the sender. but a wrap-up beautifully written letter as this is a straight-hook-upper-right-punch that melts the heart instantly. too much of the foreplay, huh!?
this is in line with my lectures saying that i give too much importance on the opening salvo of a piece. may it be a literature or a movie or a docu or a theatre play or whatever form! i would just like to reiterate that parallels the importance of the intro is its closing scene. the movie "adaptation", thou not that good a movie to be a sample (at least for me), has a good thing to say about story and storytelling in general. it says, "wow them in the end!" so there you go.
anyway, lumalalim ang gabi'y hindi hinuhukay.. hehe :)
..humahaba ang litanya ko ng walang sinasabing maganda :) haha :) ..ayan ang mahirap pag may time ako, nalilimutan kong andami ko na palang sinasabing kwento, wala namang kwenta :) ..puro kwento, walang istorya :)
(kanta yan ng "teeth", bali-baligtad lang ang lyrics :))
to u, sa nagco-comment.. tulad ng sinabi ko kanina, that comment was fuckin kewl! ..Rhythm is improving! yung content ng comment, syempre honest reaction yan.. kaya hindi ko masasabi and itz not for me to say na if its improving or not. my only comment to the comment as of this writing is the tempo. ganda! :)
1. rather than a docu guide, the hand out is more of a film book page.
ahdunno if i have to repeat this but the basic elements of docu and narratives are the same. their root is the film. contrary to popular belief, it is not the news.
and one thing, we are discussing this docu thing not as indie docu, but as mainstream docu. the documentaries we see on TV. the TV that sucks! ..the television that greatly helps our bobofication! so our docu here is not only documentaries that informs. okey lang sana documentaries that touches heart. but more than that, documentaries that "entertains" ..whatever entertainment means!
im not keeping these lies away from class. from time to time,i let u watch some samples and also, i was telling u my brutally honest comments. of course, im not always right. there's none the monopoly of truth! ..but that's my honest view :)
2. regarding docu and drama..
documentary ideally is real. i see nothing in conflict if u see drama in your docu and air it. if u see pain, then air it. if u see humor, then include it. but please, don't make it scripted and label it as real. ibang usapan ang reenactment. that's why, may nakasulat na reenactment sa reenactment.
3. credibility.
credibility is everything! ..not a hint that your docu is fake, please! it erases all the good things na nakalagay sa ibang part kung may parts na hindi totoo. sa mahuhuli kong gagawa ng ganun, u will fail! that's a fuckin' mortal sin!
i remember our college test papers. in our every philosophy test, finals and midterms, there was the note: 1. be honest, 2. look honest
4. cliche
as much as possible, no cliches. u know what cliches are. always work beyond expectations. and unpredictable. and be bold. try to experiment. (but of course, without alienating the audience. if it's experimental but throws off the audience, then it's nothing but a self-serving-too-personal-piece na dapat ikaw na lang ang makapanood!)
:)
(of course, unless that's the treatment. refrence of cliche as treatment: director ben feleo and director joey gosiengfiao's movies)
5. mowelfund
yez, i don't like their films. i don't like their storytelling. even nick de ocampo. old school and too academic. purely self-serving! the only thing that i appreciate about mowelfund is their cinematography and Raymond Red.
actually, it is not only me. it is a hush-hush among the league but of course none is too vocal and proud to tell that negative remark about an icon.
log on to youtube, watch their samples. watch "etneb" ..and other mowelfund films. ull get a grip of what i mean.
cenon, our friend, the UP film institute head, in one of his class was asking a student about his (the student's) short film.
cenon: anong meaning sayo ng film mo?
student: bahala na po ang audience magbigay ng meaning
cenon: yes, i know and i appreciate that. ako, may sarili akong take dyan sa film mo. etong katabi ko, may sarili ding meaning dyan sa film mo. but ikaw, as the director of that film, ano ang gusto mong iparating?
student: actually sir, it is a personal film na bahala na ang audience umintindi
cenon: yes, sabi mo nga kanina. and uulitin ko, u as the filmmaker, ano ang meaning sayo nyan? ano ang gusto mong iparating?
student: uulitin ko den po sir, it is a personal film.
cenon: u don't get it! and i don't get it as well. ..baka naman it's too personal na dapat ikaw na lang ang nanonood, hindi mo na dapat ipinapakita sa amin!
i have lots of bad things about the mainstream TV and cinema but one thing that i agree with the mainstream is this mantra: connect with the audience!
6. revised sequence guide
as i told u in the earlier post, kung may revision ang group, then ipasa sakin ang revised seq. guide pero kung aprub na sa group ang existing sequence guide, so be it :) ..and also, dun sa iba, medyo iniba ko or pinalawak ang scope.. so yun yung mga kelangang magbigay ng revised seq. guide :)
7. ang tinutukoy mo ay sa ngalan ng tubo? wala nang gory scenes after that. ang mga susunod na eksena ay imbestigasyon, pagtanggi ng pulis na sila ang gumawa nun, mga pinatay after the incident, etc.
8. yes, gustong gusto ko ang pulp magazine. not that all of what they said i agree. many too are bullshit. but what i like about the magazine is its sincerity and balls. hindi kelangang i agree sa lahat ng sinasabi ng isang magazine para magustuhan. pero para sakin, sobrang naaapreciate ko ang lay-out ng pulp, yung rhythm ng writings, yung dark tone, etc.
and si vernon go, i think nasa pulp pa den sya. the last time i check. and galing nya magsulat.
AND THAT WAS THE END OF MY ANSWERS, NOW ..LET'S GO BACK TO REGULAR PROGRAMMING!
:)
as i've said:
..submit your revised seq. guide tuesday night, august 5 to dimaiologyclass@yahoo.com
then wednesday morning, magche-chek ako.
wednesday nn, ilalagay ko kung anong sunod na gagawin per group. kung may kelangang irevise, or may itatanong asko kung kaya bang panindigan, etc.
sa isa-submit na sequence guide and everytime na magsusubmit sa mga susunod pang araw at linggo, makikilagay na den ng participation ng each member. and sa tuesday night na isa-submit, makikilagay den at least, isang contact number. your group's leader and/or coordinator with me para pag may clarification ako, sa kanya ako tatawag.
please dont be late this time.
isang araw na ma-late kayo sa sked natin, mahuhuli na talaga kayo. anghirap! ..kaya ko inilagay na ang schedule na 'to kasi busy-bisihan ako dz week. yung mga oras na inilagay ko para magchek ako, yun na yun. im really sorry :(
and to continue..
pag nabalik ko na ang seq.guide, i will be asking na for the script. that same wedensday nn or nite or thursday morning, ibabalik ko sa inyo seq. guide with my comments. then before 1pm of friday, submit the script. by saturday, ibabalik ko na ulet ang script with the revisions. b4 matapos ang saturday, ready to shoot nya. magpre-prod na kayo.
then the week after that saturday ay midterm exam nyo. in between ur exams, pwede nyong pagusapan ang mga sunod nyong hakbang :) of course, hindi ko inaasahan na magsho-shoot na kayo kc midterms nyo yun. sabagay, midterms nyo den naman yung docu natin :)
pero yung mga preparations like kanino camera, sino edit, sinong iinterviewhin, san pupunta, etc. yung mga ganun, pagdating ng sunod na week, dapat plantsado na. kc nakapag-pre-prod na kayo ng 1 week.
the week after your midterm week, august 17 to 22, dapat nagsho-shoot na kayo at nag-eedit. august 23 we will view it. and walang male-late kc kelangang magsubmit ng faculty to dean ng grades ng august 25.
so after august 23 (saturday), gustuhin ko mang may humabol, sa dean na kayo magsasabi :)
yez! so little time so much to do.
that's part of the program. sa totoong buhay mas ngarag pa.
and yez! ..ang mga kagrupo nyo ngayon ay hindi ang usual nyong ka-group. i hate to let u learn this painfully but there's no other way..
sa totoong buhay, kung itutuloy nyo ang vocation nyo na yan.. worse worse worse! and u know it.
..dont wori, napakadami pa nating projects : ..fortunately! (i mean, unfortunately :) hihi)
sorry pala sa mga concepts na hindi na matutuloy. believe me, its painful on my part. pero baka maloka kayo pag ginawa kong individual ang docu! thou i tried to consolidate lahat ng topics. halimbawa, may mga magkakasama na tungkol lahat sa kids ang topics nila, may magkakasama na lahat tungkol sa kahirapan, ..mga ganung chenes :)
and yung iba mas madami, may mas kokonti. yung iba kasi, mas mahirap hanapin ang subjects. yung iba, at least nakausap ko na na may sakto nang iinterviewhin, defined na ang galaw. yung iba naman, malawak ang topics, kelangang mas madami.. mga ganung concerns.
so ayun po..
basta, learn from this sana :)
and when in doubt..
ASK!
(u know how to reach me)
by the way, sa mga pang-umaga, kung matutuloy ang 1st general production and cast meeting for the november play,
ang klase natin this saturday is 8am.
kung hindi matutuloy ang meeting, 9am pa den.
ask kokay kung tuloy or hindi. sa kanya den ako magtatanong about that.
sa mga panghapon, walang nagbago. 1pm pa den tayo.
at sa lahat ng kasama sa play as cast or sa production, may meeting tayo 10:45am
WHEW! this is a long post!
..aherm, alam nyo na ang ilalagay ko as my last line :)
im sorry to write you a long letter. i don't have time to write you a short one :)
+++
WHEW!
im about to log-out. but checked first the 1st part, and i saw "wildflower's" comment :) ..keep them coming!
thanx :)
wildflower, i think, ive answered some of ur questions in my earlier sentencez above :)
with regardz to number of groupmates, groupmates of difrent sked and difrent set of friends :)
..kasama po yun sa inconvenienzez na we will be learning to face. amidst all these hurdles, malalaman mo ang worth ng sinasabi ko after this project and more mportantly, after this school :)
..just barely a year from now :)
nakupo, sa mainstream network, napakadaming demonyo at gago kayong makakasama ..pero sabi nga ni dolphy, "the show must go on!"
i have narrated some anthological emotion in my afternoon class last meeting. so, sa mga pang-umaga, remind me to tell it to u too this saturday.
anyway, its just about the importance of "airing it" no matter what! - hindi yung docu natin ang sinasabi ko. but the practice in tv networks :)
but it is a good practice.
boom!

we got your point about not grouping us by friends.. and it's alright.. but really, can't we have equal number of group members? it's really unfair.. no matter how easy or hard the topic is, still we will spend for the transpo, editing, tokens for the interviewees, etc.
well, i speak for the class, because, i think, they also have the same sentiments, that's what i've heard.. please give in to this request, because honestly, the number of grouping is really unfair..

sir bkt ganun wla ako kagrupo?! is it ok if i just pick a grup to join???
this is my 2nd post of the day. itz second part. as ive told u earlier, im in a hurry. so i skip the nitty gritty blahblah for a straight-fact-in-your-face-info that needs to be deliver asap!
to begin with, i would like to say thank you for comment(s) ..and i encourage the others no matter how painful and frank your comment might be to please post it :)
i will answer his/her questions and concerns first before i go to docu matterz :)

well, for once...I am in complete agreement with you in your "head title" though I admit I'm in conmplete confusion of the topic you are referring to.
anyway, let me thank you for redeeming myself and catching up with my schoolwork. It's quite embarrasing yet thanks for the chance nonetheless.
i have a few things about last meeting - I understand your method of discussing the hand-out by reporting, considering most of the class didn't read it (I am assuming, of course...and I'm not one of them) but I have issues with the hand-out myself.
In my opinion, the hand-out reflected more of the film books I've been browsing (...due to the lack of the idea thing) rather than a documentary guide.
I was expecting more technical stuff but since you have the experience, I can't complain and besides, it's your call.
Mind, your comments are most interesting and amusing though I might agree on a number of them. (Do you have a thing against MOWELFUND? What's with them anyway?)
Further, I don't question why the docu needs the drama (not as in the drama in Private Wars). Life is drama but where do you draw the line? Is credibilty part of that package? Do we even need one? How can we find a story that throws the cliches out the window (in reference to Riles)?
ln lieu of your recent post, what do you mean by a revised sequence guide? Do we edit or add more? I think it's a case to case basis, so I would ask, no, bother you to be specific about each project (with your comments, of course).
lastly, to be honest i'm feeling guilty for monopolizing and dominating the conversation of the blog. so, if you feel like, you can push me off for bugging, bothering and destroying the mood. I would rather have a good telling off than a cold shoulder. besides, i can live with it.
salud,
anonymous
p.p.s. tell me the goriness of the ending of the docu film we are currently wathcing. i need to be prepared...and not eat breakfast, if possible. you have five oranges to rate them.
p.p.p.s.
i think you're an avid reader of pulp, could you tell me what happened to vernon go? i think he was the editor-in-chief before i stopped reading them.I am a handful, am I?

just have some questions and comments:
1. is it not unfair that other groups have 4 members, and others, have only three or two? for me, it is unfair when it comes to division of labor, and the financial contribution of each group member.. can't we have EQUAL distribution of group mates?
2. can't we really choose our members? i mean, can't we do it by friends, coz' there are irregular students, and as what you've said, we need to rush this thing. so how can we manage to finish this in time, if we, ourselves, can't manage our own times because of different schedules? and besides, it's really hard to rush, when the other group mates, don't cooperate.. i hope you get what i mean..
3. with regards to the deadline of the docu, is it really for the midterms? just a suggestion, if we work by friends, and if we have equal distribution of group members, maybe we can work better..those were just my comments and suggestions.. the decision is still up to you, and i respect that..
thanks..
cheers!

well, for once...I am in complete agreement with you in your "head title" though I admit I'm in conmplete confusion of the topic you are referring to.
anyway, let me thank you for redeeming myself and catching up with my schoolwork. It's quite embarrasing yet thanks for the chance nonetheless.
i have a few things about last meeting - I understand your method of discussing the hand-out by reporting, considering most of the class didn't read it (I am assuming, of course...and I'm not one of them) but I have issues with the hand-out myself.
In my opinion, the hand-out reflected more of the film books I've been browsing (...due to the lack of the idea thing) rather than a documentary guide.
I was expecting more technical stuff but since you have the experience, I can't complain and besides, it's your call.
Mind, your comments are most interesting and amusing though I might agree on a number of them. (Do you have a thing against MOWELFUND? What's with them anyway?)
Further, I don't question why the docu needs the drama (not as in the drama in Private Wars). Life is drama but where do you draw the line? Is credibilty part of that package? Do we even need one? How can we find a story that throws the cliches out the window (in reference to Riles)?
ln lieu of your recent post, what do you mean by a revised sequence guide? Do we edit or add more? I think it's a case to case basis, so I would ask, no, bother you to be specific about each project (with your comments, of course).
lastly, to be honest i'm feeling guilty for monopolizing and dominating the conversation of the blog. so, if you feel like, you can push me off for bugging, bothering and destroying the mood. I would rather have a good telling off than a cold shoulder. besides, i can live with it.
salud,
anonymous
p.p.s. tell me the goriness of the ending of the docu film we are currently wathcing. i need to be prepared...and not eat breakfast, if possible. you have five oranges to rate them.
p.p.p.s.
i think you're an avid reader of pulp, could you tell me what happened to vernon go? i think he was the editor-in-chief before i stopped reading them.I am a handful, am I?
