Welcome to the World of Biomes!

Good day! This is my blog about our recent extra-terrestrial themed presentation. This is my story.

I am now a senior Mass Communication student at PUP. Last semester, I thought that CETV (Children’s Educational and Television Program) would be our last production for this course however, we’re completely off beam. We have this subject Ecology this semester and Ms. Bien, our professor requested the class to make the best out of it though it is a Minor subject. Ms. Bien, told us that we will be having a reporting but not a a plain and traditional reporting though, she wants a super kaboggable performance from us and this would be our finals! Oh my? Challenge accepted! We are fourth to present and our topic is about World Biomes.

Early this semester, Ms. Bien consigned the class on which would be our topic and we are so chill because we are not the first one to present. We just focus on our Internship and Thesis. We are alarmed (Ooops! I don’t think all of us in the group) when the first and second group will about to present for the coming Thursday and then we are still on a scratch and so confused about what theme to push on to our topic. I am not the leader of our group but I am an acting one (I am not being exaggerated). Each member of our group is requested to make a synopsis or proposal on what they want to do but only three presented their work and I am one of those. This is exactly what I did…

Synopsis

There is an environmentalist named Natalie who’s affectionate of researching everything which has focused on the environment and things concerning ways on how to take care of it. She focuses mainly and wants to conduct a study with World Biomes and she’s totally interested in how to preserve or at least take care of it in a way that no ordinary people would understand.  She found out on the Internet this lost museum named ‘Biome Museum’ (you can change the name if you want to) which is now renovated and open to the public. She comes to be curious and very engrossed with the idea to visit that place. When she reaches the place, she got amazed that everything was like unreal. She never thought that this day would happen and could really add up on her study. The photographs, the information and everything she needed was there. But she got stoppage and flabbergasted when those photographs become so real. Five Goddesses of each type of World Biomes (forests, grasslands, tundra, deserts and aquatic) started to move and came out in the picture (think of 5 names of Goddesses for each type). Each God described their importance and ways on how people can take care of them. Natalie shared everything on her study and passes it on the local firm and she gets hired.

I thought of this theme because we are all feminine in the group so not to make a hard time portraying anyone we cannot or will complicate the story but rather, for us to feel free to be a Supernatural being once in our life, make it magical and to feel out of this realm but in the world of Biomes.

Thursday, September 12

This is it! Our day, our time, our moment, our shine! Our call time is six o’clock in the morning to prepare and to design our stage but I am the one who follows the instruction. It was kind of frustrating on my part because I only had 3 hours of sleep last night just to finish our presentation and CD burn but it was still me who gives effort? After a few minutes, Lheya came and another 45 minutes I guess, Marj joined us. We decided to start on preparing for the stage. The first group is so prepared, at that early, their stage was so ready and they are just waiting for their buddies and our professor to arrive. We are careworn because they are the first to us and if they are good, we don’t want our classmates especially our professor to level down their expectation.

We started pulling the platforms from other rooms so we can start. My buddy, Marj, brought cloths and so to cover up the plain and dusty platforms and then other members of the group joined us and so we are all helping hands to make the set really possible and so alluring. I think, that was the first time that all members of the group show concern and help! Hahaha. J

Everybody gives effort to their costumes especially the four Goddesses: Foreza (Goddess of Forest and will represent the Forest Biome; Grassia (Goddess of Grassland and will represent the Grassland Biome); Tundra (Goddess of Tundra and will represent the Tundra Biome); and of course Sahara, which was played by yours truly (Goddess of Desert and will represent the Desert Biome). Also, thanks to Izza for the make-up though she is not part of our group. I am also the one who made the script but later on, it was being revised by my co-group to make it more intricate and distinct. I also did the Power Point presentation and give my best shot to make it really appealing.

The presentation was great. It wasn’t perfect but it was great! Some mental blocks led the delivery of the lines little confusing. After the presentation, our professor compliments us. She told the class that our presentation is not just informative but also entertaining. The Goddesses delivered their lines with feelings and were all in characters and she really liked it! She had a dare for other groups to make a better or the best performance they can because what we did was truly notable.
