...1. Why Pinoy Blonde? ➢ For me, during the time when me and my classmates were watching the movie it was all fun but you can see the true meaning of it on the real side of the story. The story runs on what’s happening in the industry. On how films were being appreciated by the people. It simply states that we were influenced by Hollywood movies. The characters of the movie were very effective. Every line that they speak it always comes from different movies especially in Hollywood. 2. What the genre of the movie? ➢ I think, the genre of the movie is Comedy-Action. The whole movie was full of laughter’s the two guys who are the Quizons were really funny. Action, because most of the scenes were killing. There’s a scene were most big stars in the industry were shown and they were like killing each other through guns. Defending themselves in their enemies. 3. Approaches in terms of camera, editing etc. ➢ Approaches in camera and editing were great. They used blue screen for it to look dark. It was detailed. Sequences were followed. I was shocked because the true color of it was really bright they just used something to make the movie darker and more realistic. They used alternatives because they mention that they just shoot this in one building and I really thought it that they have so many locations. 4.

...I. Introduction "Over-determined," a term used in film studies, simply means that any film is the cumulative product of certain industrial practices, political climates, ideas about artistic merit and available financial and technical resources. So when and how does the classical Hollywood studio system become stable? Two issues are greatly considered: the advent of sound and the business ideal of vertical integration. II. The Coming of Sound: Golden Age of Classical Hollywood The shift of the entire industry to sound films began during the late 1920s. As many film scholars will argue, film was never entirely "silent." Most movies were accompanied by some kind of music and even, at times, live narration. As with the invention of celluloid film and projection, the move to sound involved a great deal of technical trial and error, in addition to jostling for patents. In 1910, the richest studio, The Motion Pictures Patents Company, standardized the technological guts of filmmaking; their exclusive patents essentially locked others out of the market. Warner Bros. gambled that talkies would be popular with viewers, by offering the first bit of synchronized speech in The Jazz Singer. Studios now had a proof that "talkies" would make them money. But the financial investment this kind of filmmaking would require, from new camera equipment to new projection facilities, made the studios initially hesitant to invest. When vaudeville singing star Al Jolson introduced...

Henry Sy started building his own small business called “Shoe Mart” and eventually turned it into a major corporate identity. Henry Sy inspires many people that you can start small and grow it into a massive empire. I've chosen him as a servant leader of the Philippines because he has this many characteristics of a great leader and leadership. He is flexible and adaptable. He adapts to new surroundings and situations, doing his best to adjust. He is a good communicator. As a leader, one must listen. He is willing to work to understand the needs and desires of others. Sy asks many questions, considers all options, and leads in the right direction. He is respectful because treating others with respect will ultimately earn respect. Another thing is that he is confident. In every decision he make, every wrong move, in every progress, he carries this confident trait into his leadership. He also has commitment to his people and workers --there is no greater motivation than seeing the boss down in the trenches working alongside everyone else, showing that hard work is being done on every level. It’s important to show commitment not only to the work at hand, but also to your promises. Henry Sy is also open-minded. He works to consider all options when making decisions. He evaluates the input from all interested parties...

...St. John’s Prophecy 15 years had passed and I can’t express how I miss my hometown and them. “Miss J, Can you believe it?” My co-reporter told me. “Believe what?” “Philippines is now the no. 1 fastest growing economy!” and so? Wait, what? I was about to say something when the CNN president clapped his hand “You know what this means” he said smiling “Yes sir, Thank you sir!” Hiding my excitement, I booked into the VIP room. A woman appeared that made my heart beats fast. “Ma’am Amy, Hello” I said hugging her and suddenly a cheer was heard. I smiled when I saw her, international supermodel April Agamanos, who looks like a pearl in the sea walked in and luckily she sat beside me she too was shocked when she saw me and congratulated me for my profession then a gorgeous stewardess came and I bleamed when I saw Alexis Sal-ao. The pilot spoke and I discovered that he was no other than Bhryx Tiwang who was recently married to WWE diva, Danielle Tiwang. The landing feels like a slow-motion because of my emotions. Philippines really improved a lot. I straightly went to a 5-star hotel and found out that it was Rose anne Flores’ possession which was designed by herself and was managed by Reycar Mabborang. I switched on the flat-screen TV then a face of an exotic anchorwoman appeared Stephanie Valera narrating the success of the movie of international actress Dr. Kimberly Tayab. She also announced the first Pinay to have ever topped the billboard top...

...PREFACE "Damaged culture" and "the sick man of Asia" are just two of the many phrases used to describe the Philippine situation today. Questions such as "what's wrong, what's right with the Filipino?" have set many Filipino minds upon some deep and not-so-deep soul-searching and brainstorming. Is American democracy fit for the Philippines? Is Catholicism brought by Spain partly responsible for the failure of the country to become another economic "tiger" of Asia? The questions have not been answered with finality, although short-term and medium-term responses have been proposed and realized. Many seem to agree, however, that the root of the crisis facing the Filipinos in the past two or three decades is moral in nature. This calls for a long process of social transformation, of value recovery, formation, or transformation as the case may be. Education plays a crucial part in this process, and indeed teachers in both the private and public sectors , since the People Power Revolution of 1986, have responded to this call by introducing reforms in curriculum, content, style, and even mission statements. Such groups and institutions as The Association of Philippine Colleges of Arts and Sciences (APCAS), The Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines (CEAP), not to mention The Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS), have produced various programs for value education. The Senate passed a resolution, calling for a task force that would inquire into the "strengths...

...Friday nights were always uneventful for Sands. While her friends were spending quality time with their respective lovers, she was stuck at home. But she never complained. It actually was good for her, to take a break from her loud mates and the generally noisy world. The break meant climbing on her roof, watching the stars. It became a habit over the years. Her father used to climb to the roof whenever he and her mother were upset at each other, of after a fight. She wondered why he went there, so she asked him. “Because the stars won’t be mad at me,” he said in a playful manner and she laughed, taking it as a joke. But, as she grew up and her father left their family, she realized he was dead serious. And he was right. The stars were peaceful, and beautiful. Such powerful, but mild forces. She loved watching them, even if she wasn’t sad, or mad. Maybe it was what kept her going. That evening, she decided she would climb on the roof earlier, to read until the sunset. But, of course, the beautiful scenery wouldn’t let her read much. The sun setting behind the little houses of the suburbs was majestic, wonderful. But it was too fiery for her, too big of a star. At least it was warm, she thought. It was still light outside when she opened a pack of crackers, her dinner for the day. Her mother worked night shift, her brother was with some friends in the city and her sister was sleeping over at her friend, so no need to cook. Crackers were better than some warmed left-overs anyways...

After watching the movie, I can say that this may be the best historical local film that I have ever watched. The movie was so great to the fact that I almost cry while watching how cruel happened, noted that I'm with my family watching. The movie got me and I can't clearly determine what my emotion is, there are parts of the film that I laugh , stunned , cry , and mad. The actors of the film really suits the character that was given to them, the character and acting itself was portrayed very well. I am impressed by the cinematography of the film , the way they show the fight scenes or war scenes. The flashback scene is as good as it is, it was cool to watch but it confused me on the first time I saw it, because there we're no effects that shows the audience that the scene was a flashback.

...Case Study: The puzzle of the Filipino Laborer: Pinoys most preferred labor force abroad, but productivity in RP Low To be able to solve the puzzle, I would like to look at Pinoy as a product. And I would like to treat the Republic of the Philippines, Head of Department Education as the Operation Manager (OM). The objective of the operation manager is to be able to develop set of activities that creates value in the form of goods and service by transforming inputs and outputs. Now in order for the operations manager to achieve its purpose OM has to look and define where the government would like to focus? Differentiation, rapid response or low costs and then OM needs to check the 10 decisions that he needs to make. First are the goods and service designs. OM needs to assess what can the government offer to the local market and to the international market? OM has to look at the current businesses in the country and in the international market and the demands in the next 5, 10 years and so. When the OM has all the relevant information (competence needed in the market etc) then OM needs to summarize and build up his priority (using the house of quality tool) and proceed to next step/consideration. After doing this activity the OM should be able to answer and give the public advice on what skills or education they need in the next 5 to 10 years e.g IT related courses, Hospitality, Business or any other Technical Courses and info similar to life cycle of these courses...

...Perception of selected Filipino Teenagers in Intramuros, Manila on their exposure to Pinoy Big Brother Robles, John Darel Catacutan1 Refugia, Jose Alberto Cabotaje1 Jonalou SJ. Labor2 1AB Communication Arts Seniors, Institute of Communication, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Colegio de San Juan de Letran 2 Faculty, Language Area, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Colegio de San Juan de Letran ABSTRACT Pinoy Big Brother of ABS-CBN Channel 2 is the Philippine version of the reality television show Big Brother. Television’s effects on viewers especially teenagers is a subject that has been extensively studied in the last twenty years and whose impact extends farther than most people realize. Many studies have focused on how television programs that appear to be “real” (such as new and daytime dramas) alter the viewers’ perception of reality (or social reality). However, there is a lack of qualitative data to either support or disprove this belief. This study thus aims to describe and discuss the pluses, minuses and interests (PMI) of the perception of Pinoy Big Brother to teenagers. Forty selected teenagers who are a fan of the show were the participants of this qualitative inquiry. Initially, the teenagers were made to fill out forms for purposes of profiling their baseline characteristics. The teenagers were asked individually to discuss both their positive and negative perceptions to Pinoy Big Brother. Data gathered were carefully gathered by a repertory grid, thematized...

The movie starts off with Elle not having any thoughts about attending law school but desperate to win her ex-boyfriend Warner back, Elle takes the admission test, applies to Harvard, and is accepted. At first the movie revolves around trying to get Warner back and having to deal with the stress her classmates who disapprove of her because of her innocent and naïve behaviour. As the movie slowly starts to pick up, Elle is starting to get her head in the books and wins an internship with Professor Callahan, and then she realizes she has to defend Brooke Taylor-Windham, a famous fitness instructor accused of murdering her much older billionaire husband, Hayworth Windham.

...Alessandro de Souza Ferreira Prof. Alverson English 201 March 7, 2014 Contemporary Greek Choruses A Greek chorus is a group of twelve to fifteen people who remark on the dramatic action in a play. In Medea, written by Euripides in 431BC, the chorus is formed by a group of Corinthian women who lament the bad things that are occurring throughout the play. On the other hand, in the movie Legally Blonde directed by Robert Luketic in 2001, a group of girls that are part of a sorority called Delta Nu form the chorus, which supports the protagonist in her decisions by keeping her positive through all the film. Both of these choruses have similarities and differences that help in the understanding of the works. Euripides presents the reader with a woman seeking revenge since her husband, Jason, who is in pursuit of another woman, Glauce, has abandoned her. At the beginning of the play, the chorus tries to lift Medea’s mood by saying, “If your husband is won to a new love / The thing is common; why let it anger you? / Zeus will plead your cause./ Check this passionate grief over your husband / Which wastes you away.” (Wilkie and Hurt). This is the only moment in the play in which the chorus attempts to influence Medea’s mood positively by telling her that her situation is not unusual and that she should not feel devastated by what is happening; that she should forget Jason and move on. However, the protagonist does not pay attention to what the Corinthian women suggest to...

...Legally Blonde: The Musical Legally Blonde is an American musical with music and lyrics by Laurence O'Keefe and Nell Benjamin and book by Heather Hach. The story is based on the novel Legally Blonde by Amanda Brown and the 2001 film of Legally Blonde. It tells the story of Elle Woods, a sorority girl who enrolls at Harvard Law School to win back her ex-boyfriend Warner. She discovers how her knowledge of the law can help others, and successfully defends exercise queen Brooke Wyndham in a murder trial. Jerry Mitchell directed and choreographed. The original musical stars were Laura Bell Bundy as Elle Woods, Christian Borle as Emmett Forrest and Richard H. Blake as Warner. I also tried to include all the musical numbers in the sequence that they occurred and they will be in parenthesis. This was my second musical that I have attended, what was really cool was when I attended this one they had the musical production on DVD copy. After the musical was over, I of course purchased the DVD copy. I was fortunate enough to travel to the Palace Theater, in the ninth grade to witness what I still believe to be the best Broadway production yet! I was hesitate at the beginning do to all the critics and their stereotypical views that this production, was going to be a modern chick flick sitcom. It was girly and pink, but I believe that the female to male ratio was around 14:10. Jerry Mitchell did an amazing job directing and choreographing this musical, the only thing that it lacked was...

...Everything that I Know About Women in Film Most of the movies that I watch would probably be considered chick flicks by many viewers. Chick flicks usually have a romantic or emotion-based theme, and are favored mostly by female viewers. The women are portrayed as weak and fragile, and need to be saved from someone or something. Males are the main characters and the females usually fall in love with them. I consider them to be movies that are romantic, but also have strong female characters. At first glance, the women seem to be dependent on men. Sometimes a man is behind the reasoning for them being or becoming such strong characters; nonetheless, all possess inner strength. These characters do not need a man to survive and have the skills and drive to make it alone. Steel Magnolias, is one of my favorite movies because of the many strong female characters. This movie does not fit the women versus women theme, women versus men theme, or women versus society theme. The theme would definitely be women standing together through both good and bad times. Ouiser Boudreaux (Shirley McLaine) is a grouchy widow who is always being teased by Clairee Belcher (Olympia Dukakis). The women interact mostly in the home-based beauty salon owned by Truvy Jones (Dolly Parton). Truvy’s good friend, M’Lynn Eatenton (Sally Fields), and her daughter, Shelby (Julia Roberts), are frequent patrons. The movie centers on Shelby, who is a diabetic, gets married and wants to have a child. Her mother is...
