LIS 114 Storytelling

Final activity of my class. A storytelling session. One thing different this year was in the choice of material. All the stories were local, no foreign fairytales this time around.

Group 1 chose “Chenelyn! Chenelyn!” by Rhandee Garlitos, continuing with the theme from their previous submission for the photoscene. As I have always pointed out, the first guy (unang salang) always has the hardest part to play since everyone (storytellers and audience) is coming in from the cold. Gelai, who did straight storytelling, did okay for this part.

Group 2 chose “Ang Kamatis ni Peles” by Alberta Angeles. Leo was still his usual ever-animated self, complete with different voices for each character.

Group 3 chose to use their own work entitled "Ang Alamat ng Puto't Dinuguan". As I have said before, it's a nice concept. The use of BG music added to the magic. Seriously, look into having that and the Pipay butterfly work published. Having three people in front, 1 for narration and 2 for characters, was a nice approach. I would have done away with the laptop and stuck with the book instead, too many elements that fight for the audience's attention already.

Last Group did "Ang Alamat ng Pinya". Narration plus acting, modified chamber theater, added a nice involving touch to it. Everyone in class did well. Maybe a bit more practice and a little bit more attention to detail next time guys.

A very special THANK YOU to our audience for that day: Ceean Mauro Zarcal, Roddick Lawrence Magat, Reesha Louise Magat, Rinoa Aeris Lai, Leam Vincent Lai, and Rhian. Thank you thank you very much for sharing your time with us and for putting up with my crazy class. :D

LIS 114: Literature for Children, Photoscene Submissions

The exercise in a nutshell was an 8R photo of a scene from any story discussed in class. Hehehe. Again, surprises! That happens every time we do this exercise. Comments by me and feedback from other people follow the graphic. (Note: graphic is just a compo from campics)

Personally I would have gone with one strong image rather than multiple images per submission, but then that's just me. The guys and gals probably twisted a couple of arms, most probably those of their friends and family, for photographer and model duties. 


Photo 1:
This a tribute to Peter Pan's Lost Boys by Gelai (modeled by her friend). Mixed but nice reactions on this one. Some thought it was Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit because of the ears. The slingshot also threw some people off, they thought it was a local character.

Photo 2:
A "Putoshoot" mash-up of Robin Hood and Juan Tamad by Maan, Monmon and Juabe (and photog Victor). Monmon in drag had people laughing their asses off. Confusion again with Maan's green get up. No, it's not Peter Pan, it's Robin Hood (Disney Green). Plus points for the Depth of Field (major draw from people who saw it) and the William Tell apple reference. (Not bad for a hack / rush job, huh?) There's another photo too but just of Juan Tamad.

Photo 3:
Could have been executed better but plus points to the group of Jeya, Jam and Noey for picking “Chenelyn! Chenelyn!” by Rhandee Garlitos. (Gee, I wonder why my students keep climbing up trees? O_o;; See next...)

Photos 4 and 5:
This is a brownish Tarzan and Jane take by Teo and Lara (and model friend). Yeah, yeah, I know Fra and other guys hate off-color shots, but I liked this one. And anyone willing to go shirtless and go up a tree for an LIS 114 project has my vote (partida, pagod pa sa UP Fair duties at galing sa sakit pa yan... O nagkasakit pa lalo dahil nag-tanggal ng shirt? O_o;;)

Photo 6:
Karis took a pic of her friend in Card Captor Sakura get up. Why she's up a tree... I don't know. (Bentang-benta mga puno at damuhan sa lagoon sa inyong lahat, ha.) There's another photo by Karis but I like this one.

Photo 7:
Berber, Liyan and Michi and their take on Peter Pan and Tinkerbell. Yes, Liyan has loyal fans secretly wishing she'd go to school dressed up like that... Wings included. Most common comment was that the images of Peter and Tink seemed disconnected, not interacting. "Halatang magka-ibang pic." A suggestion was Tink alighting on Peter's hand.

Photo 8:
Black musketeers with Leo, JM and Deon. Kinda missed the musketeer hats with feathers though. :D

So there. Last year's photos were tough acts to follow (Pinocchio and Alamat ng Pinya in particular), but I think the guys held their own.
