Methodology

Building the Team

       Before the day dreaming of winning a challenge of featuring the History and Society of Pasig, we had a tough time of not just building the team but to look for a solid team for the tasks to be a master piece that was simple but exceptional one. The search for the talented and responsible team members was done by our moderator, Mr. Joseph Ong. The group was divided into four subgroups, the video-editors (Ivy Ramos and Aimar Fatima Nisperos), encoders (Harold Villastique, Emmanuel Dunan and Paul Capili), scriptwriters and narrators (Marecris Bataller, Keith Benedicto, and Dave Duhan) and design experts (Vanessa Nevada and Angela Campos). Since Ivy had a background in the three subgroups, the group had decided to have her as the team leader.


Brainstorming Grinding

     
After having the responsible team bloggers, we straight had a meeting about the things that we were going to establish. Since all the team members had their interest in the history of Pasig City, it was decided to have History and Society as the blog's category given that a lot of major historical events happened in Pasig before but many were unaware of it. After having the research on Pasig's history and society, setting of deadlines for each tasks was done. Moreover, the team gazed for the first entity that we were going to focus with; just like the title wherein we plumped to use P(pook) A(alamat) S(sistema) I(ilog) G(galing). The team decided to create a modern style but old-look template for the blog so it would fit the contest's objective and its category.



Video Editing


       Ivy Ramos, together with her side kick Aimar Fatima Nisperos were tied up with their magic spells in accomplishing the stressful editing and integration of not just only the quality of the videos but the quantity of knowledge the viewer can get after viewing the blog. They used the software Adobe Photoshop CS4 for photoediting and animations, Adobe Lightroom, and Cyberlink PowerDirector for the video editting. After having the videos edited, the team started to upload it to youtube.com and embed it to the blog.
