My Passion: The Art of Communication

kategorya: art, journal, media - Wednesday, March 10, 2010

It was only in high school when I discovered I have a talent in acting, script writing, performing, and the like. I realized I was molding my brain with creativity and was burning my heart with passion.

What I really want to do is direct. My ultimate dream is to be a stage or film director. I imagine myself making my own independent film or already in that spotlight taking part in a TV program or movie either inside or outside the country. I want to travel and meet new people all the time. It may be fast-paced but it is exciting.

Communication Arts would help me improve on different aspects, learn what I still do not know, discover what I want to see, and do what I believe I can. It will teach me the basics which I must learn first. It will help me improve my skills on public speaking, build-up my self confidence, scribble for creative writing as well, and preparing myself for more handiworks and brain poppers.

Although getting through it is a tough job, I take it as a challenge and opportunity. It is a challenge because I know I won't get it by simply snapping my fingers. It is an opportunity because not all dreamers get what they want. Other students are forced by their parents to take a degree course which is not their cup of tea.

I know it is not a piece of cake but I believe I am on the right track. I get inspired. I make something. There are new experiences. There is chaos but there is triumph of human spirit. I am getting set to be someone and not somebody.

Media "Idol"-ology

kategorya: media -

Media has greatly affected the audiences from children, to youth, adults and even the old-aged. The television has been giving massive contributions to this generation. They are now spread out even outside our homes. We can see them inside the office, coffee shops, terminals, parlor shops, food courts, and even inside a bus or a private car! The shift of media and media industry over the past few years, into new forms such as DVD and the internet, changes the modalities available for audiences to consume and receive media. These affected how the audiences think and behave. The mass media plays a crucial role in forming and reflecting public opinion.This brought the so called "idol"-ology to the audiences.

The media gives a distinct character or aura and screen name for a particular actor/actress/talent/celebrity (whatever you may call them). These are the first things that they consider before entering them into the world of showbiz to attest that they would be remarkable to the audiences or viewers. For a certain TV program, producers choose talents who are best fit for the role and already known by the mass. Basically, the main characters have the most outstanding identities among the casts. Obviously, they are idols of the mass because of their charm, achievements, talent, professionalism, body figure, looks, star quality -- fame. No wonder they have several TV appearances!

Have you ever wondered why people don't get tired of watching these celebrities every time they switch on their TV? We even get to the point that it's so corny to watch them and that they're rusted on cam over the years. Do you find it silly? This is maybe because of the attachment that these celebrities have brought to their audiences. Their "ooh-soo-cheesy" dialogues, wacky faces, and versatility in the field made the viewers entertained and brought effect on how they would think and behave. It is not impossible that audiences imitate them. This has been prevalent especially to kids. They are the primary TV junkies because of cartoons, fantasy shows, and the like. Studies show that kids are more active when watching TV because audio-visuals trigger their brains. They idolize not exactly the actor who portrays the role but the persona itself who is part of the story or show. They see them not as actors but as superheroes, great warriors, prince, princess -- exactly what they see on TV.

The media has been providing us the entertainment to its extent. Television can teach and amuse; it can reach aesthetic heights; it can provide much needed distraction and escape. The difficulty arises when people strongly sense that they ought not to watch as much as they do and yet find themselves strangely unable to reduce their viewing. Some knowledge of how the medium exerts its pull may help heavy viewers gain better control over their lives.

Behind Indienera

kategorya: indie, indie film, indienera -

Isa akong indienera. Mulat sa katotohanan ng lipunan. Prangka sa pagpapakita at pagpapadama. Buo ang paniniwala. May pagmamahal at pagpapahalaga sa likhang sarili. Maraming katanungan ngunit isa-isang hinihimay ang mga kasagutan. Transparent sa kasadlakan ng buhay at kahinaan ng bawat indibidwal. Hinubog ng panahon at magpasahanggang ngayon, patuloy na humahamon.

Ang "Indienera" ay isang parody ng salitang balbal na "indianera". Wala naman sila talagang kinalaman, kaya nga parody lang eh.

Ang salitang "INDIEnera" ay maaaring magbigay ideya para sa isang bagong bokabularyo - isang taong may hilig sa panonood o pagtangkilik sa mga independent films o indie films. Hindi ko alam kung may salitang "indienera" na ba sa makabagong diksyunaryo ng modernong Filipino ngayon. Ang alam ko lang, pakulo ko ito.

Gusto ko ang indie dahil sinasalamin nito ang buhay. May korupsyon, eksploytasyon, krimen, sakit, pag-ibig, pananampalataya, sekswalidad, pagkakaibigan, kaguluhan, sikreto, kapalaran, kamatayan, droga, kasalanan, pag-asa, kalayaan, at iba pang mukha at pati na rin maskara ng buhay. Lahat ng ito ay masasaksihan din naman sa pinilakang tabing pero iba ang indie.

Kalidad, dignidad at konteksto ang tatlong bagay na pinakahinahangaan ko sa mga indie films. Hindi ko kasi maintindihan kung bakit sa pinilakang tabing, kailangan pa talaga ni Dr. Jose Rizal (sa pelikulang "Rizal") na magsuot ng relo subalit wala pang naimbentong Rolex noong kapanahunan niya. Nakakatawa. Isa pa ay ang pag-establish ng isang karakter na paralisado ang kanang paa subalit sa kalagitnaan o bandang dulo ng storya ay sa kaliwa na siya nakahawak ng saklay. Nakakatawa ulit. Iba kasi ang nakakatawa sa nakakatuwa. Hindi ba? Mayroon pang mga hindi marurunong pumili ng artista para sa isang karakter. Nakakaawa.

Hindi man ito patas pero yun ang katotohanan sa mundo.

May mga bagay na hindi madaling ipakita, hindi madaling ikwento, at hindi madaling isabuhay, pero may natatanging hangarin na nagbibigay halaga sa isang likhang sining. Kaya ganoon na lang katotoo ang indie dahil ginawa ito hindi para sa pera kundi para sa kaluluwa.

Ako. Isang indienera.
