So we were asked to make selfies of ourselves with the theme of civilized and uncivilized. So i decided to first search for their definitions:

selfie
Web definitions
A selfie is a type of self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a hand-held digital camera or camera phone.


Now knowing the definitions here are my selfies:

1. 
Civilized                                                                     Uncivilized




Explanation: Since civilized people are more advanced, a person using a nail cutter  instead of biting his nails would probably be considered more civilized.

2. 
Civilized                                                                     Uncivilized




barefoot is less civilized than with slippers

3.
Civilized                                                                     Uncivilized



Barehand eating is less civilized than eating with spoon.

Indie film features

We watched a couple of clips of the word of the lourd about indie films.


So we were assigned to watch an indie film and see of the features mentioned in the word of the lord that are present. I watched an indie film called "sa piling ng mga nympha".



 And here are the features that i saw:

1. Malalim mag isip and direktor - this probably means that the film cannot be understood easily.

2 Magulo ang kamera - at times the camera is shaky for no apparent reason.

3 Pangit ang ilaw - the lighting is sometimes bad.

4 Malabo ang sound - the sound at times cannot be understood or heard.

5. Dapat may chiks - there is chiks

So these are some of the elements that i saw in this indie film. In conclusion, there is truth in what the word of the lourd says about indie films

Elements of film making

I watched "10,000 hours", an entry in the Manila film festival.

Now I will describe the film using 3 of elements of film making:

a) Time - The duration of the film was an hour and 15 minutes. The diegetic time was more than a year. The title is the time Robin Padilla spent out of the country. Robin Padilla played the role of a senator who was blamed of murder to prevent him of exposing the corruption of the government leader. Refusing to be imprisoned, he went out of the country.

b) Sequence - the continuity of the film leaps by days and months, showing how Robin Padilla spent 10000 hours abroad and how his family went through hardships. 

c) composition - the film had action, drama and present day relevance to keep the audience interested.
