Arguably one o the biggest projectso LFC or the year, the OrSem lm isa production that doesnt just branch out

to other committees o LFC but to non-

members as well.

Though key roles such as director,

cinematographer, editor and the like were

reserved or the Production Core, other

important roles like production design-

ers, personal assistants, location manag-

ers and such were open or any bona de

members o LFC. The O-Film team grew

even bigger by branching out to non-mem-

bers as the production needed a talented

cast lled with singers and dancers.

Every lming day at ideally 12:30 PM,

the team would meet at Colayco Pavilion

to prepare or lming. The actors would

practice their lines while the make-up

team and PAs would prepare them, the

props team would start preparing the

items needed or the shoot, set designers

would put up the decorations on the set,

directors and cinematographers would

prepare the cameras, all while the

production manager shouted at

people to keep them on their toes.

Shoots would go on rom 12:30 PM

all the way up to 5 PM rom Mondayto Friday, as well as a ew Saturdays.

Once lming was nished, the

work was then transerred on to

the editors. For transparency, the

directors and editors would upload

video updates o the lms status

and even show samples o it such asthe JAFEEL BRO loop.

On the morning o its screening

during the second day o OrSem,

a number o the cast and crew

members met at the Irwin Theater

and watched the reshmen enjoy the

highlight o their summer.

EXPERIENCING

Last July 11, 2013, the Loyola FilmCircle held a lm symposium or theupcoming indie lm Tuhog at the Escal-

er Hall. Guests Veronica Velasco, Jinky

Laurel, Carmi Raymundo, Manuel Chua

Jr. and Jake Cuenca came to promote their

movie, discuss the local lm industry in a

realistic perspective and advise those who

are interested in becoming a part o it.

As described by them, Tuhog, which

means skewer in Filipino, is not your

usual romantic comedy. It eatures three

characters rom dierent walks o lie - Fi-

esta (Eugene Domingo), who is an unhap-

py bus barker, Tonio (Leo Martinez), a re-

tired man who decides to pursue his dream

to open a panaderia and Caloy (Enchong

Dee), a young boy who attempts to remedy

his relationship with his girlriend. Their

lives become intertwined when the bus

they are all on gets into an accident, and

The speakers discussed the diculties

that arose rom lming this movie. Ve-

ronica Velasco, the director, talked about

how precise she had to be with lming

because o the tight budget. Jinky Laurel,

the scriptwriter, mentioned that theres

always a need to revise the script and

that it was hard to make one that would

satisy everyone. Jake Cuenca, one o the

lms actors, mentioned that it was hard

to work around his schedule in order to

shoot scenes or the movie.

Just like the lm, the symposium was

also about lie. Although the advices given

were mostly or lmmakers, they could

apply to anyone. Manuel Chua Jr., another

actor, said, I you love what youre doing,

keep doing it. The rest o the speakers

also emphasized that it was important to

7/27/2019 LFC Reel Time 2013

have passion and vision. Carmi Raymun-

do, the creative producer o Star Cinemas,

talked about how the rst consideration

in lmmaking is i it will be relevant to

people and that it is about the number

o hearts that get touched. Veronica

Velasco also discussed that, saying that

although the process will be dicult, it

will be ullling in the end. Jake Cuenca

addressed the need to keep improving -

ater all, getting in the industry is dier-

ent rom staying in. For writers, Jinky

Laurel and Carmi Raymundo mentioned

that to become better, one must continue

writing, be open to new experiences and

talk to people to nd more stories to tell.

All in all, it was an inspiring experience.

I became more determined to learn as

much as I can in the art o lmmaking and

open my eyes to stories that need to be

told. More than anything, though, I was

thankul because it served as a reminder

to accept criticisms as grateully as pos-

sible, put as much passion and love into

our actions and celebrate lie daily.

LFChappiest orgon earth

BY KEISHA SEGUI

It was an aternoon o magic, antasy, adventure and

un as LFC members, old and new, gathered at the MVPRoodeck or LFCS rst ever grand GA! Held last July 15,

the theme o the GA was Disneyland and what better way

to celebrate the happiest place on Earth than with the hap-

piest org on Earth? LFC members were decked out as some

o our avorite and well-loved Disney characters. Classics

were present o course such as Cinderella, Snow White,

Aladdin, Cruella De Vil, the Queen o Hearts, Peter Pan

and Mickey and Minnie Mouse. One guy went the extramile and dressed up as the Little Mermaids Ariel but with

quite a twist. Members also came as some o the more re-

cent Disney characters such as the ice cream guy rom Lilo

and Stitch, Mr. Fredricksen and Russell rom Up, Sharpay,

Ryan and Ms. Darbus rom High School Musical, the Jonas

Brothers, Kim Possible, George and Meg rom Paperman

and many more.

There were superheroes such as

Iron Man and Spiderman and a ew

unorthodox characters such as the

black spirit rom Spirited Away. I

heard that even Walt Disney madean appearance. All in all, the spirits

were high and everyone was de-

nitely excited or what was going to

be a grand ride.

The GA began with some games

as members arrived at the MVP

Roodeck. Once everyone was pres-ent and gathered, members were

asked to group themselves or some

un bonding experience. Members

were asked to talk about their avor-

ite Disney characters and movaies.

Ater that it was time or rounds

around the dierent booths in the

MVP Roodeck. The booths were

manned by the dierent department

and project heads o LFC and each

booth was o course Disney-themed.

As the dierent groups visited each

booth, students learned more about

the roles and jobs o the dierent

departments o LFC and acquainted

themselves with the head and depu-

ties o each department. Members

also learned about the dierent LFC

fagship projects they can join and be

a part o such as Under the Stars and

the Ateneo Video Open.

Ater the rounds it was time to announce

the winners o the costume contest. Crowd

avorites like Kuzco and Ariel (the deter-

gent guy) were just some o the winners o

amazing LFC goodies.

LFCs rst ever grand GA is denitely one

or the books. There was no better way to

welcome all the newbies and kick o whats

sure to be a un-lled and amazing year

with LFC. Im sure all members, old and

new, are very excited or what is in store

or them in the happiest org in the Ateneo;

bringing us closer to our happy-ever-ater.

Beore the actual GA,

mini games were played

to get the ball rolling,

with lots o LFC merchan-

dize serving as more than

enough reason to join in.

Aterwards, the GA ocial-

ly began with an interesting

take on the age-old parlour

game, The Boat Is Sink-

ing. As the game split org

members into groups, it

was not uncommon to see

people comparing and talk-

ing about their costume or

their avourite Disney char-

acters. Ater the game, the

LFC members were then di-

vided into groups and dis-

persed in accordance with

the program.

The General Assembly had the

dierent project committees and

departments set up booths that

showed what exactly new and old

members can expect rom LFC 16.

The new booths system ensured that

members, now roaming in their pre-

determines groups, would be able to

listen more ully to each department

and better understand what ex-

actly they can expect rom LFC this

year. While some groups toured the

booths, others sat back and enjoyed

this years LFC Film, which poked

un at lmmakers and lm bus

alike. Merienda was also served to

all members as they enjoyed the lm.

bert Dy, an experienced

movie critic employed in

ClickTheCity among

others. According to

him, what makes a good

story is change. There is

substantial change and

proound change, the

latter being what makes a

story great. He also talks

about change o sel: You

go [into the moviehouse]

and let [the movie] change

you. For him, one does

not need an extensive

education on lm to be a

critic. The most impor-

tant thing, he says, is

knowing why or why not

you liked the lm the

change you experience.

Mr. Dy was ollowed by

the co-ounder o 4AM

Hustle Productions, Deej

Fabian. He spoke about

event coverage and its

ethics how you tell a

story but still respect the

people in it. Enjoy the

moment with them, he

states, [but] dont go ull

retard. He goes on to

describe how photogra-

phers and videographers

are ninjas; they are not

the stars o the show. Its

also not just about getting

the best shot. You have to

consider the people. Dont

ruin the moment.

MAN OFSTEEL

RICHARD WEBB, CREATIVES:

It was good but it didnt meet my

expectations. The movie was just

weird. Didnt get Superman vibes out

o it. 6/10

UNO DE LOS REYES, PROMOTIONS:

I think the lm did a brilliant job

o showing what internal conficts

Superman had, in a way the Christo-

pher Reeve lms didnt. Plus, really

great action scenes you could never

have seen with Lex Luthor, even in his

battle armor. 10/10

CHYNNA SANTOS, PROMOTIONS: Still

not on the same level as Christopher

Reeves Superman, but lots and lots o

potential. Also: shirtless Henry Cavill.

8/10

LUI MENDOZA, HUMAN RESOURCES:

I thought it was a much needed re-

boot o the ranchise. Wasnt perect,

but opening the gates or a much

grander DC Cinematic Universe makes

me so happy! About time WB showed

it some real love! 8/10

LEX CELERA, HUMAN RESOURCES: Great

cinematography, but the dialogue

was poor and the music repetitive.

Intimate but laborious. 6/10

NIKKI PAYAWAL, INTERNALS AVP: Henry

Cavills beauty was so distracting

that I couldnt nd anything negative

about the movie. 8/10

TIFF GO, DOC AND PUB EXECUTIVE: The

only scene I really loved was the end,

but otherwise Cavill saved the lm to

be honest. 5/10

The Place Beyond the Pinesclocks in at a hety twohours and twenty minutes,

but I eel like it shouldve been

longer. This isnt exactly a caseo I could watch it orever

though. I anything, director

Derek Cianrances second lm

is kind o tough to sit through;

its dark, dirty, and depressing

or most o its running time.

The movies many themes

bring out some breathtakingsequences, although not all

the questions get satisying

answers. Nevertheless, The

Place Beyond the Pines is still a

masterully-crated tale eatur-

ing some antastic perormanc-

es and an unrelenting sense o

tension and emotion.

ThePlace

BeyondThe

PinesBY EMIL HOFILENA

Co-written by Cianrance,

Ben Coccio, and Darius Marder,

this story sees stuntbiker Luke

Glanton (Ryan Gosling) becom-

ing a motorcycling bank robberin order to provide or his

ex-lover Romina (Eva Mendes)

and the son he never knew

they had. This ateul decision

makes him cross paths with

novice policeman Avery Cross

(Bradley Cooper), and their

encounter changes their livesorever. Divulging any urther

details will ruin the experi-

ence, I promise you. Cianrance

took a huge risk with the

lms structure, but he pulls

it o incredibly well, carrying

over dramatic weight to each

succeeding scene, even when

character perspectives shit.

Some people might nd the

lm a bit predictable in certain

scenes, but its a credit to the

writing and directing that

whatever happens onscreen

remains resh and natural.

The sharp script never wastes

a conversation, treating every

word as a crucial part o each

characters development.

As a result, every act o

violence is rightully appall-

ing, and every tear eels like a

prayer. And when the camera

goes handheld, not only is the

shakiness actually eective, butit seems necessary as well. The

increased intimacy makes the

stunning chase scenes, as well

as some quieter moments, eel

truly edge-o-your-seat.

However, acting is where

The Place Beyond the Pines tru-

ly shines. Gosling is terriying

with a gun, but also genuinely

vulnerable when with a child.

Later in the lm, Dane DeHaan

appears as that troubled

teenager archetype he plays so

well. But his angst never eels

orced, and his moments o

deance are a mixture o both

triumph and pathetic despera-

tion. But in my opinion, Brad-

ley Cooper undeniably steals

the show. Avery Crosss story

arc is ridiculously gripping,

and allows Cooper to show o

a range o wildly contrasting

emotions without letting go o

his characters central sense

o guilt.

But The Place Beyond the

Pines is ar rom perect. There

are quite a ew scenes which I

think go by too quickly despite

their seeming importance.

Also, I eel that the nal story

arc (which is supposed to tie

everything together) doesnt

get any solid resolution. Be-

cause o this, all the symbolism

scattered (somewhat messily)

throughout the lm eels a

tad pointless. Regardless, The

Place Beyond the Pines is still

completely worth checking out.

Absorbing storytelling, incred-

ible acting, great cinematog-

raphy, and an awesome score

make it one o the best and

most original lms to come out

this year.
