10 Ways To Improve Cebu Using Ideas From Cinema And Your Sony Camera
Bisaya Short Films presents The People Behind Sony SM Seaside City
2. Do a photoshoot with your pretty friends and start a fashion blog but attach "Stop Discrimination" Caption with every photo upload you make, so you're using the internet (that the Katipuneros fought for) to build a nation, and not just build your ego.
This idea comes from Hollywood star Emma Stone, where she covers her face with a paper that says "Support Habitat For Humanity" text, so when paparazzi takes her photo, the charity gains exposure . The Sony DSC-W800 is good for this project.
3. Go to Plaza Independencia. Talk about movies with your friends. Enjoy urban nature. But be vigilant. Look around. Do you see something? Then say something. See a crime? Report it to social media using your Sony smartphone that's equipped with powerful apps. See a person stealing? Take a photo of it.
Protect their identity but report what you should. This idea is from the photographer in the movie Shortbus, where a guy used a camera to save a person's suicide. The SEL55210 Lens from Sony will make this possible, but not until you have read first The Power of Now book on detaching from ego.
4. Go to SM Seaside City. See that crying girl? Ask her what's wrong. Connect. You're not as disconnected from her as social media made you to believe. Play Taylor Swift's Shake It Off in your Sony Xperia Z5 music player and share the earphones with her. Make her feel better. This idea is from the most wonderful movie you haven't seen, Once, starring Glen Hansard.
5. Go to Larsian. Take out your Sony Smartphone and interview with your high quality video cam the tinderas and tinderos of barbeque. Ask of their funny stories, of their tragedies, of their life. Document their life with a Sony Handycam FDR-AX100. Upload to Youtube. Share the wisdom to the online universe, and enlighten the world.
6. Go to Unitop Opon with your friends and buy a bulk order of plain white t-shirts because they're cheaper there compared in Cebu City. Then wear a white shirt for the whole month to promote minimalism and protest against complicated, wasteful ego-centric design. Document your friendly protest with a Sony Xperia Z5 Compact, a smartphone packed with powerful tech and features but in portable form. Friendly protests like this are inspired by the movie Dog Day Afternoon by Al Pacino.
7. Go to Tisa Elementary School and find the principal. Ask her who's the best singer there in High School. Videotape her singing with a Sony Handycam FDR-AXP55, upload on Youtube and get her popular. Create a market for her and by doing so, you promote Cebu and create more jobs for us.
8. Go to Mandaue Bridge and with your Sony Handycam HDR-PJ440, make a timelapse of the traffic in Mandaue. Livestream the traffic thru Youtube to show the world The Truth. Ask help from The Internet Universe. Be inspired by Lav Diaz' 8-hour-movie Hele Sa Hiwagang Hapis to be able to do this because you need stamina to get through the tortoruously long traffic.
9. Go to a Home For The Aged. Interview the seniors and ask them of the good old days. Document in video their testimonials and funny stories using a Sony Cybershot DSC-WX500 and learn about a kind of life that's different from yours.
10. Go to a park. Watch all the Bisaya Films to learn more about Cebu and its problems that you can solve. The high resolution in a Sony Experia phone is perfect for watching low-res, eco-friendly Bisaya Short Films. But don't watch films too much. Read The Power of Now to figure out what's too much.
The Sony Products mentioned above, including Personal Audio Headphones, Xperia Mobile devices and Sony Action Cam can be purchased today at Sony Centre outlet in SM Seaside. Here's an artistic Bisaya Short Film of their Grand Opening:
