Thank you to “The Buzz” show for the interview! (and the good shots — in real life, the blog admin looks like a sea hag; ABS-CBN always manages to give the human form of this face)
This portion (see photo, still of an ABS-CBN video used here non-commercially, for academic purposes) was shot in Rocs Coffesshop in U.P. Diliman, Bahay ng Alumni; Rocs is the quieter, cozier, “fully cold” (full aircon) of the coffeeshops in U.P. that allow a full TV crew inside for interviews — thank you to Rocs for the wide windows facing the afternoon sun, with cream-colored paper blinds filtering the sunlight — natural daylight, good acoustics.
For those who were not able to see the segment, this blog will try to upload a teeny-weeny snippet for review and academic purposes.
On the TV production: the entire produced segment in “The Buzz” (ABS-CBN) is a 5- to 6- minute sequence composed of interviews of the subject (the talent, singer-actress Karyll), a video expert, etc., and presenting the side of the tabloid, and other parties involved, for an all-around discussion. Half of the segment was devoted to an investigative angle showing that there really was no “nip slip” or no full breast exposure; that, according to the independent video expert consulted by “The Buzz” whom they went to after the interview with me in Rocs, the photo of Karyll had been photoshopped; and second, the talent was wearing taped breast cover. Therefore, some parts of the discussion in the previous blog post (below) on breast exposure may not be applicable because, based on the investigation, the photo was manipulated. At the time of their interview with me, i did not know the image was photoshopped, the producers had a statement from the talent that she was wearing taped breast cover, so they independently investigated/ verified whether or not the photo had been photoshopped. The producers went to an independent video expert to establish the nature of the photo. Then, they interviewed Atty. Nery Colmenares (Hi, Nery!) after they saw the video expert. [i’m glad Atty. Nery Colmenares gave an interview, so my friends in the progressive movements cannot rib me! some friends tease me whenever i give TV inerviews]
Manipulating or “photoshopping” a photo to change its content, information, and meaning opens a whole lot of discussion on other legal and ethical issues.
Then, the segment had about 2 minutes on statements of the parties (the talent and her equally famous mom on twitter), then 2 minutes on legal discussion. Wait lang po for a short (2-minute) snippet video for academic discussion, i’ll post it in a while, promise!
Watch out for Del’s television interview on “Us Girls” on Channel 23 (ABS-CBN Studio 23) tonight at 7:00 pm, where she talks about Likha Restaurant’s durian coffee, banana coffee, and other delights! Don’t miss it, 7pm!
I saw in Korina’s show this morning that DZMM is now the number one channel on cable (not just on radio but on television cable). This one’s for the books, or some sort of a record, because television is a visual medium and DZMM is radio, it doesn’t have visuals except for headshots and medium shots of the radio anchors and sometimes, live streaming of video using 3G phone (grainy but really real-time), but it has the most watched shows on cable. I think I know why.
