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..

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!
i've got to give my pseudonym..

sona of a bitch! (from bangkang papel to barkong lubog!)

hey yoh peeps! :) ..weeks of not seeing you ol ha :)

anyway.. sagutin ko muna ang tanong ng ating anonymous comment writer :)

..how do u write kung wala kang maisip isulat :) ..thatz the first question :) ..uhmm, to be honest wala akong exact na sagot dyan :) ..i dont mind letting u know that it is not a formula thing to do. writing is creating and no one can push you to do so. thou some of our great fathers had what they called ..inspirations.
inspiration kapag naba-blangko na sila. for example, quentin tarantino's inducer is music. kapag gusto nyang magsulat at wala syang maisip.. somehow, nakakakuha sya ng inspiration sa music. so, kung ano yung music na naririnig nya, yun den ang nagiging personality ng sunod na pyesa nya :)
si tony perez naman ..sa dilim at gabi, sa alulong ng aso at kapaligiran. ninanamnam lang nya ang paligid at ang mga tao, o ang katahimikan ..and somehow, nakakakuha na sya ng inspiration or ng depression. at nakakapgsimula na ulet syang magsulat :)
ako, habang nakaupo ako sa trono (u know what i mean), andami-dami ko naiisip na kwento at daloy :) ..and syempre, idol ko kc.. tarantino. somehow, totoo e.. music is our soul's food :) , so madaming emosyong ibinibigay ang muisc :)

but with regards docu wrting.. hindi eto ganun kasakto sa fiction wrting. thou as ive said, ang tono at ang ritmo ng maayos na pagsulat ay ganun den..
pero sa docu, may facts na pinaghuhugutan. hindi lang purely creative. u should watch the news, read the papers, check the latest updates, etc..

i hope i answered ur 1st question :)

and ur 2nd question..

yez, it is true.. our docu is a hopeful entry sa channel 5. i already talked to program manager. but of course, our docu should be air-worthy. ive already told the class what we mean by air-worthy. hindi lang syempre yung ganda ng intensyon pero more mportant is its materialization :) ..pangalawa, nasa ratings-hungry country tayo, so hindi lang yung dangal ng mensahe at relevance ang pinaguusapan d2. minsan, mas mahalaga yung entertainment value. what we mean by entertainment value? hindi ito nangangahulougan ng pagpapatawa lang. dapat walang laylay. dapat informative. dapat kumokonek sa manonood. those things that ive already told u in class.

and ur question.. ang sabi sa channel 5 ..ABC 5 is signing off na sa august 8.
that's true!
eto po yung sinasabi ko nung start pa ng class na nabili ng malaysian investor ang lahat ng airing time ng channel 5. way way back, bago pa ipalabas ang plug na yun , na nagsasabing ABC 5 is signing off, sinabi ko na sa inyo yan. tamang hinala ka ha :) ..hindi po ako nagkakamali ng sinabi.
ABC 5 is signing off kasi iba nang management. in days time, iba na ang tawag. magiging TV 5.

ABC 5 is signing off. and new programs will be introduced thru its new name, "TV 5"

:)

i hope i answered all ur questions :)

just keep it flowing mga repapips and repakols. sana madami pa magcomment at magtanong para kunwari, busy etong site natin :)

yung mga assigned to report ha.. don't forget :) ..and gandahan nyo :)

sana walang aabsent. we have so much to catch up :)

and we will start doing our docu :)

kita kits this saturday :)

ang pagpapalit ng tag-araw at tag-ulan!

to start with..

walang pasok this saturday, july 26. meron kayong acquaince party.
please submit lang po all your sequence guide this friday, july 25 before 1pm sa dimaiologyclass@yahoo.com

sa mga nagsubmit na, okey na yun! ..makikitingnan lang po ulet kung sa sequence guide nyo ay naipakita nyo ang gusto nyong ipakita. halimbawa, may conflict ba? anong isyu? anong problema? anong point? anong thesis? anong ipo-probe and iprp-prove? those questions. after nyong magsubmit ng sequence guide, either magrereply ako sa inyo sa email or magpopost ulet ako d2 ng sunod nating hakbang. i think we should rush this na. considering ur calendar of midterms at kung anu-ano pang kuning kuning na walang pasok chenes chenes :)

sa mga pati topics, hindi pa nakakpagsubmit.. please po.. magsubmit na kayo this friday. hindi lang topics. dapat with sequnce guide na den. catch up!
again, wala na pong extension.

so yung walang masubmit this friday before 1pm, sorry po. nung mga nakaraan, napagbigyan ko na kayo sa mga late assignments, mali or kulang na assignments, etc. pero dahil sagad tayo sa oras ngayon, no more extension for the friday 1pm submission of sequence guide.

churi :)

whew! ..may nagcomment na :) ..abah! ..biruin nyo yun :) pero nagpapauso ka ha.. anonymous :) hehe :) ..pero itz a good start :)

anyway, to answer the question..

1. hindi isang docu lang ang gagawin. nate-temp akong gawing individual pero i honestly feel that it will be too tasking considering na may iba pa kayo ginagawa. and for economical reasons na den. at least, pag group, hindi lang isa ang kelangang gumastos. ganun den syempre sa work load. at least, kung group, hati-hati kayo sa gagawin (at least ideally).
so the answer is no, hindi isa lang ang gagawin ng klase. by group po ito :) ..im still studying the scheming kung papano ang groupings :) within 7 days or next saturday, u will know the complete details of this :)

2. access to email account. actually, that was my first option.
but lo and behold, hindi yun ang ginawa ko. may mangilan ngilan kasi na may sinasabi sakin thru email na mukhang hindi gustong sabihin in public. so, for the confidentiality of such matter, hindi ko inopen ang access sa email. but there is a venue for public announcements and comments and posts.. at alam nyo na kung san yun. d2 yan sa dimaiologyclass.blogspot.com
:)

3. medyo hindi ko po nasunduan yung 3rd mong sinabi. can u be more specific? :)

4. actually, lalo na yung number 4, "is somebody out there?" uhmm.. medyo malabo po. somebody out there na ano? :)

anyway, kita kits class next next saturday, august 2
don't forget ur sequence guide this friday july 25 before 1pm at dimaiologyclass@yahoo.com

ut in omnibusrebus glorifecetur deus!

:)

mr. d, okay, i'll be the one to admit that i'm not passing a sequence guide due to plain ignorance and not properly reading your last post. I apologize for my lapse. moving on....In lieu of my question no.3,

what I meant is what do you do when you need to make a script/film but ideas are not coming. Especially if you are expe4cted to come up with multiple and unrelated ideas?Most importantly, I remembered correctly that the film that we will produce will be aired on ABC 5. however, I manage to watch a somewhat annoucement that channel 5won't be around (I think they will stop airing on August). Is this true? cheers, stillanonymous...

:)
my friend jeff was teaching video production last sem. and i saw his students' projects. from their first reality assignment until their finals. but i must say, with all the honesty i said to u class, from my outright saying that ur too quiet or that writings are not with rhythm yet, to the trivial nakakaantok ang tanghali or tinatamad ba kayo..
with all the honesty i said to u class, with the sincerest tongue and heart i have.. mga repapips and repakols, ang ganda ng news program assignments nyo :)
andami ngang hindi ko naituro pero nandun pa den :) fuckin kewl! :)

this only says of ur future docu project.
by the way, in case u don't know, ur docu is ur midterm exam. and im hoping we can air it on tv. but of course, we can not make sure of it yet. so let's work for it kung feel nyo ang sinasabi ko :)
gandahan naten!

also, may mangilan ngilan nang nakikipag-brainstorm while on class. let's keep it burning coz itz fuckin kewl to say our shit!
mga repapips,

class,

this is my second post. and i hope uv read my first post already. (if not, please read it first)

and what will i say today? class, ur not talking yet. 
we had some chitchat during breaks or after class but that was it. none yet is the culture of openness and brainstorming while at the classroom. well, i can not force it to u and be as i imagined. i am just talking aloud.
anyway, as i've told kokay and cheche as well, and to some others in the van, i hope they mentioned to u my reminders.. 

1. please send your docu concepts/topics before friday 1pm. 
2. no longer will u send to dimaiology@yahoo.com but on dimaiologyclass@yahoo.com
3. please be ready on saturday with ur news program. it would be easier for us if ur output is dvd. but if not, be ready with your player and/or cables appropriate
4. 3 students were absent last saturday. i asked cheche, your president to cascade what i've said. one morning student will report on the state of philippine documentary today. then come afternoon, these are the topics to report: a) hottest documentary topics of the decade (national and international). its result and social implications. b) michael moore and his works
5. kokay, don't forget the reading materials from pulp and ninja man

with regards to our studio tours, 
i must admit that it was not my imagined result. it was my fault and i am very sorry. yes, our tourist guide was accommodating but that was it. he told some trivial-historic-facts but none was my request to push the technical side. again, i am very sorry. but rest assured that this will be offset by our other meetings. none of the bookish-technical-boring-useless facts but more on what's real. 
or maybe, just my imagination. anyway, u are free to decide and my ad nauseam request.. please talk.

something's gonna give.
whatever that means.
