A pre-requisite on our
Communication, Society, and Development Course with Mr. Felix Cabahug is the
production of a case study to be presented in the form of an audio- visual
presentation (AVP). I know that it’s a good training ground for me but still,
it is a calvary. A calvary every communication student must undergo.
Calvary #1 Conceptualizing
Ideas
The topic given to us is
all about family communication and it is very broad. Our group goes through a
series of argumentation and debate before we came up to a firm concept.
Calvary #2 Arranging ideas
and planning the flow of the Video documentary
After having a firm
concept, we are, in that moment, in dire need to plan of how we will present
it. Having the solidity of concept to tackle, we must ground it into pieces to
have an in-depth and critical analysis. We drafted an imaginary dummy, just
like weaving the film strips in our mind.
Calvary#3 Searching for the
informants to interview.
To look for a
dysfunctional family, a teenage mom, a homosexual that is open to confess
his/her everything and many other more sensitive subjects is really hard, more
in talking to them over sensitive matters.
Calvary #4 The Greatest
Hurdle… editing the movie
From importing all the
required clips to windows movie maker, uploading and downloading, adding audio
effects, titles and subtitles, effects and transitions and repeating this all
from the very start either because the computer hanged up, compatibility error,
and etc. in the history of doing this, we repeated it for over seven times or
more.
Calvary #5 Saving the
Movie
It’s a very big file and merely impossible to
be save. The scarcity of USB and abundance of virus piled up with our dilemma.
Calvary #6
We cannot please everybody
and on the day of presentation, it is indeed an epic fail. And that’s the worst
calvary.
