Preface
The ideas featured here are not to
be considered concrete and final. This is just an organization of
recommendations to ensure the success of our endeavour. It may also
serve as inspiration for other ideas but I would rather that these plans
would be used as a last resort or if there are no better ideas or plans
available. This is a series of contingents for every possible scenario that I
can think of. I do not want to hamper or deny my classmates the freedom ofcreativity but nevertheless I would just like to express my own. Thus, I
would like to request utmost confidentiality so that our team can have
freedom to explore other possibilities and also prevent unwanted parties
from stealing and using these plans for their own ends.

Introduction
I, and thus we, have had our own share of seminars attended, and
have been disappointed numerous times at how ill prepared the facilitators
were in said seminars. We have all observed that this ill preparation has led
to the gradual decrease of attendees as time goes by, mainly because of
boredom and disinterest. To address and thus prevent this, I have
concluded that we need to give a whole experience to all of the
participants. By whole I meant that participants are forced to remain on
their seats because of curiosity and wonder of what we have in store for
them. This would involve stimulating as many senses as we can in an
entertaining but informative manner to ensure that participants has learned
what they were told to expect to learn.

Budget
Before anything else, first we must deal with the question of budget.Any successful event would not be possible without some form of budget.
Also proper budget allocation is key because no matter how high the
budget, if not properly or wisely dispensed would be useless.
Php 10K or less in the event that we would have virtually zero
budget, a good seminar would still be possible though very
difficult. The most difficult part would be finding a speaker. We
could present to the speaker that our seminar would be a very
good opportunity to be known. That would ensure that at least s/he
would try his best performance. Thus, I recommend finding people
with high goals but have not been able to achieve it due to lack of
fame. Php 10K would be my recommended absolute maximum
that we would pay for the speaker if we have the budget. Anymore
would be a waste of resources that we could use on other things.
The hardware needed such as laptops and costumes would have
to be provided by the class. The only things that we would
absolutely need to have a budget for are, the pay for the venue,
the printing of certificates, and the tarpaulin, and the rent for the
projector. As much as possible use and reuse materials. The class
could donate extra materials and as such, it is only a matter of
creativity whether the materials would be put to good use. No light
effects if there are none available that is free.

Php 10K to 20Kconsidering the relative freedom of budget after
those costs above have already been deducted, we should focus
on improving the effects and design. We would now be able to
afford more ambitious designs such as multiple tarpaulins in and
outside of the hall. We could buy or rent several but cheap light
fixtures such as black light, and LED light modulators to span the
walls of the hall. We could now buy Neon cartolina for the use of
some props. And also, if wished, uniform costumes.
Php 20K to 30Kafter all the priorities as stated above has been
considered and allocated budget we would be able to explore
other possibilities to enhance the program. I recommend adding
lighting effects and enhanced sound through speaker balancing
and additions. The optimizations of such would create the desired
atmosphere. Also a fog maker could be added though it is highly
optional (only to be used to enhance a lightning storm effect as the
lights would provide the visual effect of rain). It would be highly
recommended however to search and acquire a high quality
projector, that has enough power to be installed at the back of the
hall without the picture loosing focus.
Php 30K to 40K after all of the above has been accomplished
without incident (loss of money, wrong purchase, etc.) we could
now consider possibilities in terms of enhancing the operation and
the execution of the seminar. It is recommended to have a proper
means of communication to ensure the smooth execution of the

program. With a minimum of six (one for each of the two MCs,
one for each of the two technicians, and one for each of the
leaders of the two main groups, look for the Production
Assignments section for information for these,) could have mobile
phones that has the earphones with the microphone feature. They
would be given budget for load for these phones. These phones
would all be borrowed if needed, not bought. We could also now
implement a raffle of which prizes would be given to lucky
attendees as they are drawn from a pool of entries. We could also
ask, and pay if needed, for professional help in executing effects
or whatever needs maybe.
Php 40K or above a 40K budget could be achieved if everyone
in class would donate 1K each though it is highly NOT
recommended as we could probably reach that amount through
multiple sponsors. After everything discussed thus far has been
carefully scrutinized and accomplished and yet, we still have
money left then we could consider some enhancements (after
deliberation) that would greatly beautify the program. One of which
maybe renting one or two high quality cameras capable of live
stream, and a projector for a mini-screen to be situated beside the
main screen (this is where the footage from the cameras would be
shown). These cameras would be used similar to concerts in
which a close up of the stage would be possible in order for those
at the back to see well. If there are two cameras then the other
would be roaming around the hall, shooting at anything that maybe
of interest (ex: students asking questions, etc.). Though the

regulation for the use of the Claro M. Recto hall states that food is
prohibited inside, I have observed multiple instances in which food
had been distributed and such, we may also consider this
possibility. And lastly, according to the regulations, the air-
conditioning system would only be turned on 30 minutes prior to
the program, as I understand it. We may be able to find a way to
have it turned on for the duration of the program, though it will
probably involve more pay.
Acquisition
Once a budget range is chosen from above, the acquisition of such a
budget be would needed to be discussed. As much as possible if any of the
needed materials could be otherwise acquired free, please do so. For
example, there is no need to buy new paint or any colouring materials as it
may be acquired free through unused paints and colours of classmates at
home are even maybe from acquaintances. If it really cant be avoided to
buy such stuff then the most minimum priced items could be bought since
we do not expect to use any of these items frequently since we only need
for them to last the seminar. By being as thrifty as possible we would be
able to stretch our budget and spend on things that would really make a
difference in making or breaking the seminar.
Frequently it has been said that we have the option of acquiring
sponsors for our budget though it may be more difficult done than said. I
suggest searching and asking all viable contacts of companies that may be
able to help us. We must first gather as much information on how many
-
8/14/2019 final plans.docx
8/41
8 | P a g e
potential sponsors we can get. From there we may estimate the value that
we would ask from them. The smaller the value asked, the better as it
would increase the likelihood of it being approved. We may be able to find
one company that would grant us all of our expenses, or 4-5 that would
give smaller amounts. It all depends on who and how we ask. Thus, I
suggest assigning this task to the most persuasive people in the class, able
to get the best deals with the least of amount of liabilities. If in the event we
would not be able to find any sponsors at all, everyone in the class would
have to donate a range of 200 1000 pesos each, depending on the
budget size chosen.

Production Assignments
I believe that tasks should be given to those who would be able to dothem the best. However, I also appreciate the virtue of distributing
responsibilities so no one would be either over or under burdened. Though
there will always be some people who would work harder than others, it
does not mean that they would be able to contribute less for the success of
the seminar.
Picking officers is entirely up to you as the assignments I would giveare task oriented, not organizational.
Technical Crew
These people are in charge of all electrical hardware and software
needed. Composed of at least two people, they would be picked based onthe extent of technical knowledge they have from lights and sounds, to
music and video editing.
Production tasks
Pre They would be in charge of taking, editing, or recording of
any video, picture, or sound if needed. They would make sure and
find the needed hardware and their maintenance.
On They would oversee and coordinate the execution of lights
and sounds and other controls that would be needed.

Masters of Ceremony (MCs)
Obviously these people would ensure the smooth flow of the seminar.
However, they would not be reduced to just talking on the day of the
seminar, but would also handle all of the paperwork needed, the constant
contact of other parties that would be interested and/or is relevant to the
seminar, the selling of the seminar to acquire participants, and all or most
of the tasks that would involve public relations. Composed of two people
(but helpers may be included) these persons should be picked based on
effectiveness in public relations and management.
Production tasks
Preas stated above, they would generally ensure that everyone
that could help or should be present would BE present.
On as per their title, they would conduct the program and be
entertainment for guests.
Props and Design Staff
These people would be responsible for making and/or acquiring any
and all of the required props and/or costumes. They would also serve as
assistance in any way if needed to the Technical Crew. Composed of 20+/-
people (about half of the class left after picking the Technical and the MC),
they would be chosen for their inclination if they would rather chose
creativity than other talents.

Production tasks
Preas stated, would make and/or acquire the necessary props,
plus help the Technical Crew when required.
On would serve as Ushers as well as perform for the Pseudo
Orchestra (to be discussed in the section of the same title).
Performance Team
Those who would most prefer to either dance or sing would be
included in this team. They would plan and practice their respective song or
dance numbers for the seminar. The team will be composed of the rest of
the students who did not become part of any on the previous teams.
Production tasks
Pre practice and prepare needed costumes for their song or
dance numbers and provide assistance to the MCs if requested.
Onperform their numbers and also as additional Ushers.

Program Proper
While waiting for the official start of the program, participants may beentertained by videos or music. I also have a collection of inspirational
videos called Pass It On if so preferred. An announcer may periodically
notify participants how many minutes are there remaining before the start
of the program.

IV. Opening Remarks
Well theres really nothing to add here except maybe some
introductory music while they go upstairs.
V. Acknowledgement of Speaker/s
Same as V.
VI. Speaker Presentation I
The speaker should be well informed on what our chosen topic
would be. We may plan the seminar in conjunction with the
speaker so s/he will know exactly what to expect and we will have
the opportunity to improve the presentation or construction of the
power point presentation.
VII. Intermission Number
I recommend a dance number for this. I have pre-stated that the
Performance Team could also act as Ushers. I have observed
that, ushers tend to be just designs at the sides of the hall. I am
confident with the intelligence of the potential participants, so they
do not need any guidance regarding the seminar except for the
seating at the start. My intention is to have the ushers, as they are
distributed throughout the hall, would join and be part of the dance
troupe. There would be a starting group, as usual, on the stage. I
-
8/14/2019 final plans.docx
15/41
15 | P a g e
suggest the dance moves to be easy and catchy so when the
ushers join, it would seem spontaneous. Also, it would strongly
urge the participants to dance along even if no one told them to.
When a chosen part of the song comes, the ushers would formally
join the starting group. They could choose to remain in their
positions along the hall or include it in the sequence that they will
approach the centre aisle or the stage to join the others.
VIII. Speaker Presentation II
The same as VII.
IX. Q and A Portion
Pieces of paper will be given at the start of the seminar with the
instruction that it will be used for notes or asking questions to the
speaker later. Rewards could be given to those who are brave
enough to ask their own questions to the microphone.
X. Presentation of Certificates
Good background music is all that is needed for this. The
distribution of the participants certificates can be done in
conjunction of that of the speakers.
XI. Giving of Prizes (Optional)
-
8/14/2019 final plans.docx
16/41
16 | P a g e
This is when the raffle will be drawn. Ping-Pong balls with print are
to be distributed to classes to serve as their invitations. The balls
would have the participants name and then collected at the
entrance to the hall. The balls would then be put into a rotating
drum and the drawn participant would be called to collect his/her
prize. For a full treatment of this topic, go to the Raffle heading.
XII. PUP Hymn
Similar to the above but I have ideas for this one, though not
recommended because it is time consuming and may invoke bad
feedback but it is very rewarding if executed properly.
This could involve a music video in where, a camera, starting at
the gate of the main entrance of PUP would enter at the start of
the music. The lyrics of the song would then be shown by students
holding Manila paper (or whatever piece of paper with a large font
so it is easy to see) containing verses of the song. Then the
camera would pan down to more verses on the road then so on
and so forth. The verses would be presented in easy to read but
unexpected places throughout the song. For a complete
explanation, go to the Video Screenplay topic heading.
XIII. Closing Number
I want the class to be creative but if there are no prevailing ideas
as to what they would want to do in the closing number, then I
suggest this. As the majority of the class is female, I would expect
-
8/14/2019 final plans.docx
17/41
17 | P a g e
that the performance team would also be composed of mostly, if
not all, by females. A simple song would be Unwritten by Natasha
Beddingfield. The only instruments that a live band would need
are a beat box, and an acoustic guitar with an optional though
unnecessary accompaniment of an electric organ. The voice range
of the song is similar to that of the class. Of course there would be
a lead and support singers and the rest can join in as a choir at the
later part of the song.

Hall Preparations
Depending on the budget size chosen, hall preparations may beextensive or simple. The PUP Guidelines for the use of the hall allows for
rehearsals which, we must use to the fullest. I will assume that we have a
reasonable budget size so I will state possibilities. These possibilities are
just that, possibilities. It is up to you whether they should be executed or
not. I have observed that some of the light fixtures in the hall are not
functioning. Though most of the seminar proper would be executed in
darkness, it may be advantageous to fix or replace the lights for dance
sequences and such, and attach, if there are none, black lights at the stage
skirt. I am not familiar how the speaker system in the hall is connected or
operated, so we should have to check and familiarize ourselves with them.
If we would be able to acquire a high powered projector, one that could
project images without losing focus even though it would be situated at the
back of the hall, we would have to have a raised platform where it will be
put.
If our budget allows, and we are able to acquire a live stream camera,
we could set up a raised platform at the side of the hall (refer to Appendix A
for the floor plan) It would also then require the raising of a white screen at
the side of the stage so a secondary projector, that would show what the
camera is seeing. All along the side wall of the hall, arrays of LEDs can be
hung. These arrays are grids of wire onto which the LED lights will be
attached. These will be constructed beforehand and made in such a way
that it only takes a few minutes to hang it on a wall and attach its wiring.

Refer to Props Construction for a full treatment. In terms of designing the
hall, I can only suggest that you use, if possible, as much glow in the dark
materials as much as possible covering most of the hall and use bright
coloured materials for some of the stage props and designs so it will glow
in the black light.

Props Construction
I will discuss my suggested props and everything here after in terms ofpracticality like Cost, estimated time of construction/production (ETA), and
Effort required, versus its benefits. Then after which, I will discuss how I
think it should be made.
A. LED fixtures
Practicality
CostI am not
exactly sure
how much it
will cost but I
have seen
these lights or
more
accurately Light Modulators used for design in Jeepneys so I
assume that they would not cost very much, including the wiring
and other materials I estimate that the cost to buy around 50 units
of lights would be around 50-100 pesos, pessimistically though
probably it will cost less.
ETAIf a grid would contain 50 units, the construction of one grid
would probably take one person 30 minutes. I estimate that it
-
8/14/2019 final plans.docx
21/41
-
8/14/2019 final plans.docx
22/41
22 | P a g e
of strong wire mesh, or cartons with hooks on top. The LED units
would be placed on the grids on long vertical columns which could be
3 16-unit columns (the other two could be placed one on each end) or
2 25-unit columns, etc.., depending on how big the individual lights
are and/or how intense a light they could give off.
Multiple grids could be done, and if we have enough time and we
are feeling ambitious, we could wire the LEDs separately so they
would react to a different pitch of music, OR if we could find someone
with the technical knowhow, project images like a very large screen
that would go along the music. There are companies selling full
arrays of these but we need to compare which method would be
more cost effective first before we consider buying readymade arrays.
My method would be (if we cant find any help), to have the grids
have separate jocks and exploit the 5.1 capabilities of a desktop
computer. The grids would be divided into groups of 5 (a jock for
each group) with equal distribution (meaning they would not be
bunched together in the hall) and attached to the computer.
If we are not able to bring a desktop computer then multiple MP3
players could be used. Each grid would have its own jock and MP3
player so the grids would be independent of each other. However,
this would involve a tedious task of cutting and pasting sections of
music (while still remaining in sync) so that a particular grid for
example, would only react to the parts of the song that would involve
percussion instruments and so on. The edited songs would be
distributed to the MP3 players then each grid would be stationed and
-
8/14/2019 final plans.docx
23/41
23 | P a g e
a synchronized queue used so that the MP3s would play their given
edited songs at the same time. The jocks could also be extended to a
central command point in which a few people can play the song on
multiple devices.
The colours of the lights should preferably be the same to avoid
confusion except for the percussion specialized grids which, in my
opinion, should be made red for added drama like the low tone of a
beating heart would be given more life because of the colour. The
general colour of the others would preferably be white or light blue as
to not hurt the eyes and to accentuate special effects like rain and
lightning.
I suggest placing the percussion lights nearest the stage if not
next to, or even bordering it (the best place I think would be to put in
on the long vertical speakers facing diagonally on the sides of the
stage) so it would be more noticeable (refer to Floor plan Additions
for the diagram).
B. Gyroscope
Though not in any way an integral part of
my plans, it would provide dynamism on the
stage that could potentially get boring as the
seminar goes on.
Practicality
-
8/14/2019 final plans.docx
24/41
24 | P a g e
Cost The cost of constructing one that is about 5 feet tall
depends largely on the materials used. It could range from wood,
to iron, to plastic or even paper supported with wire or bamboo.
The important thing is that it should move continually throughout
the seminar through the use of motors, or strings, or magnets, or
rubber bands.
ETA a three man team may be able to finish it in a couple of
days given the available materials.
Effort it would probably require a large amount of effort as a lot
of thing should be considered, like balance and maintaining
movement.
Benefits
The only benefit it would bring is that it is a mobile and dynamic stage
design that does away with the boring Christmas lights and paper Mache
structures. It moves and lasers can also be attached so that the beams
dance around the hall.
Construction
I am not handy enough to dream up how to make such a complicatedmachine though I have some ideas.

C. Orchestra Instruments
Cost not considering buying wholesale, one instrument piece
would probably cost utmost 50 pesos to make.
ETA making the whole ensemble would take about a week to
make if most of the Props and Design team pitch in the work.
Effort as it would only require cartons and some wood,
construction shouldnt be too hard.
Benefits
-
8/14/2019 final plans.docx
26/41
26 | P a g e
These instruments would be used for the Pseudo Orchestra part of the
seminar. They would be invaluable additions to make the seminar a
success.
Construction
The instrument would be made of cartons, and wood struts for support.
The cartons need only take the general shape of the instrument that it
seeks to copy so it does not need much effort and precision to make. They
would then be painted black and the corners would be either painted with
or glued with bright coloured paper. This is for the black light so that people
can see the instruments clearly without actually showing that they are not.
The instruments to be made would be 10-15 violins, with bows, a
grand piano, and a pair of maracas. If there is an instrument anyone hears
in the music that is not already listed here, add it please. The extra bright
coloured materials left over would then be used for making the costumes of
the players. They would be similarly coloured with black clothes mostly,
accentuated by brightly coloured masks or gloves and other additions to
the clothing.

Pseudo Orchestra
Concept
In this day and age where music is so easy to come by, and listened toin any part of the day, it surprises me that concerts still make a large impact
on the music industry. It stumps me to think that people would pay
hundreds to hear the songs that they could otherwise hear for free. No, this
is not a research of this phenomenon but I only like to stress the
significance of the concept. If not for seeing their favourite artists, people
go to concerts not for the music, but for witnessing the talented, play their
favourite songs right in front of their very eyes. It is akin to a miracle, in this
day and age, where it can be hard to know what is real and what is fake; to
see and to hear with your own senses how these works of art are made.
To take advantage of this, I propose having a Pseudo Orchestra to
play along with the music. Why not a pseudo band you ask? In my opinion,
the genre of music that could capture emotions the best without the need of
lyrics or prose but only through the pitch and hymns of its instruments is the
classical genre. This however poses another problem. In my opinion, the
generation gap between the classical era and today is too large that people
can find classical music too slow and boring. So, as a compromise, I have
found an emerging genre called trailer music, which is not too slow and yet
captures the imagination and thus, the emotions of its listeners. Also called
epic music (given by its listeners for the epic-like emotions and images
that they experience during listening to them), trailer music are made by
companies for sound tracks and trailers (hence the name) for Hollywood
movies. One of the most successful of these companies is Two Steps From
-
8/14/2019 final plans.docx
28/41
28 | P a g e
Hell (TSFH) which has made music used in movies like Lord of the Rings
and Narnia.
I have listened to most of their sound tracks and one of the best (based
on my judgement) that we could use is a sound track called Promise by
Thomas Bergesen, one of the founders of TSFH. This song needs no less
that an orchestra to play. I know my classmates have limited talents with
regards to musical instruments, which is why I propose that we use what I
like to call, a pseudo orchestra.
Execution
The Pseudo Orchestra would involve people to act like they are playing
real instruments in accordance with the music. This, if done successfully,
would create the same impact on people as the concert phenomenon as I
have stated before, without requiring too much effort. To make the
deception, I propose that the orchestra would be seen through black light.
The orchestra could wear bright coloured clothes like gloves or masks but
not too much so that most of their clothing and thus, their movements,
would be masked by darkness. They would be using instruments made of
hard carton or cardboard that is painted black except for the edges which
are painted bright colours. The orchestra would only need to practice up to
the point where they could convince the audience that they themselves are
producing the music, even though they are not. In addition so that he
audience would not focus too much on the orchestra, a music video would
be playing, depicting scenes in accordance to the emotions portrayed by
the music (we will discuss this fully in a few moments) and also, the LED
lights along the sides of the hall will dance to the musicas well. If what I
-
8/14/2019 final plans.docx
29/41
29 | P a g e
imagine is correct, the whole experience would be overwhelming,
emotional, and powerful.
Preparation
The orchestra would be composed of 10-15 violinists, a pianist,
drummer, pair of maracas, a guitar, and a conductor costume set. For the
construction refer to Props Construction. The Orchestra needs only to
practice enough so that the audience would be convinced that the music
comes from them, and not from a pre-recording. The actions of the
individual players need to be in sync with the music. It would help if they
would learn a small amount about how to play their instruments and watch
videos on how to mimic the proper movements. When this is done, the
players would only have to synchronize their actions as of a real orchestra.
My estimation of such practice would only take about 1-2 weeks.

Video Screenplay
A number of videos (mostly music videos) would have to be made to
fully take advantage of the lights and sounds effects discussed before. All
of these are optional of course but would be of great effect if made.
A. Trailer
I have seen at least 2 seminars where they have made a form of
trailer that played before the seminar proper. Some served asadvertisements for the companies that sponsored their seminars,
while other were just title sequences. There is nothing wrong with
their trailers ad at least one of them impressed me but I think they
could have done more. Since this is a trailer then it is fitting that we
use trailer music as I have discussed before. I recommend No
Surrender by Serge Colbert of Fifth Floor Music. It is powerful and
would build up excitement of what we have in store for them.
The first part would be a title sequence with intermittent scenes
from the documentation that would be done, then a short sequence
where the logos of the sponsors would be shown, and then more
scenes from the documentation.

In imagining the scenes I have been careful not to make the
video as if to say You will learn a lot in this seminar. Though not a
bad message, it puts pressure on the speaker. I hope to just stress
the importance of knowing coaching and how it could help others.
I imagine the video composing of three storylines. These three
have many parallels and the audience could easily understand what
is happening in one and the others. I have chosen the sequences to
be first, what I would call the Lover, involving a broken hearted man
coached to not give up on love, second, is the Runner where a sad
female aspirant has been coached by the runners coach, and finally,
the worker where an unemployed man has been coached by his
friend. They would come in that particular cycle during the video,
changing every few seconds to stress the parallels of each story.
I have made it so that each scene would more faithfully depict the
emotions of the music that if only one storyline is used.
The start of the music is slow and very faint. In this sequence
primarily dominated by first the piano and then the lead violin, we
would show the Lover approaching a girl to give her a flower. The girl
however doesnt take the flower and the man is shown to be
saddened by looking down on the floor and accentuated with thunder
and rain.
The scene transitions to the Runner, also looking down from the
bleachers of a court onto runners practising their rounds. The
runnerscoach notices the girl, and then starts to approach her.

When the female lead of the song starts to sing, the scene will
then transition to a man also approaching a down person (the
Worker) on the side of the road. The man opts to ask what is the
problem (I used the word optsbecause there will be no dialogue the
whole video so the acting should be enough so audience could still
surmise what is being said). The Worker then expresses his anger of
not being able to find a job then sits down again.
The music would then now reach the point where the theme
changes from gloom to encouragement, again starting with the piano,
now in a higher pitch, then the violin accompanied by the main violin
group. The Worker scene ends with the approaching friend putting his
arm on the workers shoulder with slight taps, sending the message
Its okay.
The scene then transitions back to the Lover who is now telling a
friend his problems. The lead female singer of the music dominates at
this point. The exchange between the friend and the Lover should be
in sync with the female lead. There comes a point in this where the
female lead sings a middle note then a high note. At this point, the
video will show the friend pointing to a girl. As the Lover looks, she
smiles, but the Lover shakes his head as if to say No, I cant to the
friend. This will be in sync with the female lead now singing a lower
note as if to send the same message. She then repeats the middle
then high note sequence as before. Also as before, the friend will
point again at the girl, and then when the Lover looks, she waves

enthusiastically. The female lead will then sing notes of increasing
pitch which would send a message of encouragement and the friend
will also action the same message and then the Lover proceeds to
stand and face the girl.
This is when the main body of the song will start to play, marked
by a sudden increase in audio saturation. At this point the video will
transition back to the Runner who has also started to stand and run,
with the coach at the side holding a timer. The weather will rapidly
transition from sunny, to rain, and then night to keep up with the
increase of tempo in the music and also show that the runner had
been practising for a long time. The scene ends with the coach
observing that the runner is very tired and has stopped to sit and rest.
Then the scene transitions to the friend of the Worker who is now
observing him seemingly very tired at a table full of books on what
appears to be a library. As the friend approaches the Worker, the
Worker stand up as if to say I quit. And then leaves. The friend is
then left alone then he sat on a chair.
The next scene transition would then show the Lovers friend
also sitting. The Lover then approaches and sits on a chair opposite
his friend looking sad and devastated. The friend smiles and then
reaches to tap his shoulder.
However, before he is able to reach him, the scene transitions to
the Runners coach reaching to tap the shoulder of a stranger. The

coach is trying to gain a better view from the back of a crowd at the
side of a racing track. The camera pans to show the crowd and the
streamers in what appears to be a race finish line as the first of the
runners passes through. The coach still looks for the Runner but
cannot find her. As the last of the contestants approach, he spots the
Runner at the back looking very tired. The camera closes up on her
looking tired and on the verge of tears. She crosses the finish line
when most of the crowd has already dispersed, and then kneels and
cries. The camera is up close on the Runner then shows the coachs
shoes step into view. As the music picks up, the Runner looks around
confused to see that people are applauding her and the coach has
reached his hand to help her up. Some of the other contestants also
approach and gave her a hug as she stood. The Runner cried happy
tears.
The scene then transitions to the Worker who has approached
his friend also crying after another job interview failure. The friend
hugs him for assurance and acts to encourage the Worker while they
leave a business building. Then they seem to hear someone
approaching and they look back to see a man with papers ask for the
Workers and then acts while smiling as if to say He is hired!. The
music picks up again at this point as the Worker celebrates and then
runs outside the building to hug someone (it may be assumed that it
is the Workers girlfriend. The scene ends with the friend looking on
smiling.

The scene transitions to the Lovers friend looking on as the
Lover has a girl in his arms and walks away. The friend then notices a
piece of paper on where the Lover has sat and opens it to reveal a
very large written Thank You! The friend smiles the then turns when
he heard something. It was someone crying. The friend sits down and
smiles and the scene ends. The screen will then show a message
(implying that it was spoken by the friend) What do you need? Then
the screen will show the title of the seminar Coaching.
D. PUP Hymn
Since the PUP hymn will be shown near the end of the seminar,
we can risk not doing anything creative about it. But, if so desired, we
can make a music video if we have enough time and resources to do
so.
My idea involves a moving camera that would go through the
PUP campus as it pans to show the lyrics of the song on people, the
road, the pylon, and so on.
My idea is that it would start at the gate as it opens. Then it will
proceed to the Pylon and around it, then to the Dome, then up the
Dome to the second floor, then to the side balcony overlooking the
chapel.
Considering the speed that the song is sung, the camera would
have to travel relatively fast and yet, smooth enough for the words

Raffle
This is the most highly optional out of all my suggestions. It would
however ensure that most, if not all of the participants would stay until the
end of the seminar.
It would involve the distribution through RTR ping pong balls with a
glued printed design. The participants would then fill up their names on the
balls which would be collected before entering the hall. They would also
have name bands with their names given at the entrance. These bands
would be needed at the draw to make sure that the participants are who
they say they are. The name bands would be inspected for any sign of
tampering to prevent participants switching name bands. The participants
would have to approach the stage in person to claim their prizes.
The draw itself would be accomplished by gathering all of the ping
pong balls into a rotating drum and drawn randomly.
