In Theater, an actor’s performance
can also be attributed to the play’s
Director and Playwright.
 The Director guides the actor in the
accuracy of his or her movements and
gesture on the stage.
 The Playwright, in the other
hand, takes care of the lines that
serve a vital role in a play.

Innovation in acting techniques in
theater has been widespread, mainly
because of the birth of many theater
groups in the country. Aside from
professional theaters, school-based
theater groups have also emerged,
awakening the performing skills of
young Filipinos.

 One of the most-talked-about filmmakers
in the 21st century is Jerrold Tarog, whose film
Heneral Luna drew raves, not only from film
critics but also from the viewing public as
well. For a historical biopic, Tarog’s
unconventional approach on the main character
Gen. Antonio Luna was more faithful
compared with the number of sensationalist
history movies of the past.
For the movie’s cinematography, Tarog
made sure to list every shot to create
calculated sequences of scenes. These are
some of the reasons why the Film
Academy of the Philippines has chosen
Heneral Luna to represent the country in
th
the 88 Academy Award for Best Foreign
Language Film.

 LITERARY
TECHNIQUE
In the modern Philippine literature,
writers in all genre use English,
Filipino, and the vernacular. Their
works mirror Philippine society and
culture in a constantly changing
environment that shows pattern of
contradictions (e.g, being a Filipino and
dreaming of living abroad)
However, they acknowledge the
historical background and traditions
that have made Filipinos the way
they are, a group of people who are
able to cope with the challenges of

Creative Writing.
VISUAL DESIGN
TECHNIQUE
 In visual design, artists use their
materials in varous ways – a simple
pencil can be used creatively in different
ways; the brush can be manipulated by
the artists into any stroke they desire.
Like the other artists, they improvise,
using tradition, non-traditional,
innovative materials, and techniques for
their artwork.
 Technique is personal – it is
developed gradually; it cannot be
done otherwise. Like the material,
