The Cask of Amontillado

1. Psychological View point

2.The Cask of Amontillado is a tale of revenge. Montresor, the sinister narrator of this tale, pledges revenge upon Fortunato for an insult. Montresor intends to seek vengeance in support of his family motto: "Nemo me impune lacessit."("No one assails me with impunity.")

3.The main characters of “The Cask of Amontillado” are Montresor and Fortunato. Montresor is the narrator and a wealthy man intent on receiving revenge on Fortunato who is both a friend sworn enemy of Montresor's. He has planned to ''punish with impunity.

Fortunato is addicted to wine. He's already really drunk when he meets Montresor, 
According to Montresor, Fortunato  [round and dynamic] is a man who has caused him a "thousand injuries"
Montresor [flat and static] is a man obsessed with revenge. He also seems to be rather insecure and sensitive, especially about his family background.

4.The irony that lies behind Fortunato's name is that the basic root word of his name is "Fortun" as in fortune, indicating luck, success or prosperity when Fortunato is the actual victim in the story.

Kpl 2 review

Kung Puwede Lang: Resbak Kakak ni Mam



Video link:  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jR2Woyn8Ah0
          
         Target media of the product is the Students (including those who become) and Teachers.This video truly voice out all the concerns of a public school teacher. Seems funny at the start but as you watch it, these are real scenarios in school and sentiments of our teachers that our government must give attention.

          This really stressed out genuine issue on sacrificing the salary for school cartolinas, papers, pentlepen.. This is the inner thought speaking because teachers can never go down to this level but they certainly feel and agree to the thoughts.



            For the Student ,If you're seeing education as a burden more than a privilege better recheck your standards. I'm a student too. There's no difference between 'major' and 'minor' subject you are all talking about. You will be needing every grade in every subject you have at the end of the day. If your teacher reprimands you, it's not to humiliate you. It's putting you back in your place because you've crossed the line too much. And you always have the freedom to choose; to study or not to.



           “Tapos Kayong mga babae, saan atensyon nyo? Sa Kpop, sa make up, E kayong mga lalaki? Sa Dota? E kayong mga bakla sa lalaki sa nota?Stereotypes in the film.

            But if we look farther,many professions are underpaid and overworked, but they are either sucking it up (maybe because of passion), or leaving to pursue something else in life. Student dynamics will ALWAYS be diverse so this ranting (inner or not) should not be directed to the students despite their difficulty to handle.





             This shortfilm was really good but there are some words included in the script that should be not be tolerated. Still, my huge respect to all teachers and professors for their efforts to follow their calling for the benefit of their students.

Music Video Analysis

Kung 'Di Rin Lang Ikaw
By December Avenue ft. Moira dela Tore



Video link: 
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P1pwbnzbe7g

Kung di rin lang ikaw ang dahilan
Pipilitin ba ang puso kong hindi na masaktan?
Kung hindi ikaw ay hindi na lang
Pipilitin pang umasa para sating dalawa

Giniginaw at hindi makagalaw
Nahihirapan ang pusong pinipilit ay ikaw

Kung di rin tayo sa huli
Aawatin ang sarili na umibig pang muli
Kung di rin tayo sa huli 
Aawatin ba ang puso kong ibigin ka?

Kung hindi rin lang ikaw ang dahilan
Pipiliin bang umiwas ng hindi na masaktan?

Kung hindi ikaw ay sino pa ba?
Ang luluha sa umaga para sating dalawa

Bumibitaw dahil di makagalaw
Pinipigilan ba ang puso mong iba ang sinisigaw?

Kung di rin tayo sa huli
Aawatin ang sarili na umibig pang muli
Kung di rin tayo sa huli 
Aawatin ba ang puso kong ibigin ka?

Naliligaw at malayo ang tanaw
Pinipigilan na ang pusong pinipilit ay ikaw

Kung di rin tayo sa huli 
Aawatin ang sarili na makita kang muli
Kung di rin tayo sa huli 
Aawatin ba ang puso kong ibigin ka?

Kaya bang umibig ng iba?
(Aawatin ba ang puso kong ibigin ka?)

Papayagan ba ng puso kong ibigin ka?
(Aawatin ba ang puso kong ibigin ka?






Is the music video based in real life, or does this take place in a fantasy world?
    
     The music video of Kung 'Di rin lang ikaw is based in real life, I hope it's just in fantasy world but it isn't. People fall in love with their bestfriend in reality and end up broken . The good man suffers and it sucks.


Is the way the artist is portrayed in the video really how that person dresses and cats in real life?

    Those elements that are needed I think  portrayed in the Music Video. It all fits in reality.

Consider how the musician is dressed - is that how regular people dress?
    
     The musician is not showed in the music video. The music video is story based in the lyrics.

Consider the actions taken by the artist in the video - would they really do these things in real life?

     Considering the main cast of the music video as the artist , yes. It is real that this things may happen.The typical Friend zone scenario.
      
Does the video portray people in stereotypical ways? Are these reflections of real people or are they just one-sided characters?



     Those things are perfect reflection us people. Appearances is a criteria for our so called 'love'. Chubby guy is a clear representation for those who are not blessed with looks, just the sincerity to love people uncond even though it's hard to see it himswlf that the girl he loves sees him as BESTFRIEND ONLY. Good guys suffered. 😢

Consider the editing - how does the frequency of cuts from shot to shot affect how you feel about the video?I

      Transition in each scenario connects with the lyrics. Durations of shot fits to build up the emotion until the end.  

Consider the setting - why did the director choose this location or setting?
      
      It is for us viewers to relate with. And I think it successful . Nakakabroken kahit wala kang lovelife😢💔
