I. Introduction

Rationale

There are many ways to show appreciation and to interpret literature.

Whenever we read a particular text for instance, we often get inspired to
create our own masterpieces in whatever form we can best express them. As
we try to translate these literary pieces to various art forms, we contribute to
the richness of its value and interpretation. In this modern time, the use of
multimedia and ICT tools are effective and interesting ways to view literature
in a different perspective.

This module features activities and discussions for you to:

o determine the variety of artistic media format in interpreting a
literary text; and

o produce a creative representation of a literary text by applying

multi-media and ICT skills.

Love Story
Taylor Swift
We were both young when I first saw
you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standin' there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball
gowns
See you make your way through the
crowd
And say, "Hello"
Little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were
throwin' pebbles
And my daddy said, "Stay away from
Juliet"
And I was cryin' on the staircase
Beggin' you, "Please don't go, " and I
said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be
alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the
princess
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be
alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the
princess
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
Romeo, save me, they're tryna tell me
how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this
mess
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
I got tired of waiting
Wonderin' if you were ever comin'
around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of
town, and I said
Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so
alone
I keep waiting for you, but you never
come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to
think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a

knew ring
So close your eyes And said, "Marry me, Juliet
Escape this town for a little while, oh oh You'll never have to be alone
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet I love you and that's all I really know
letter I talked to your dad, go pick out a white
And my daddy said, "Stay away from dress
Juliet" It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
But you were everything to me
I was beggin' you, "Please don't go, " 'Cause we were both young when I first
and I said saw you

Are you familiar with the song above? What classical story is shown in
it? Can you give textual evidences to prove that it may be an interpretation
or is based on the said story?

The example above is an Audio presentation based on a literary text.

Audio is relating to the sound that is heard on a recording or broadcast. It
is important because it can tell us about character, place, and time. It
also informs us and moves us in ways visuals can’t, and because
certain combinations of sound and visuals can evoke what neither can
do alone and can determine what we see.

In fact, there are many other songs or podcasts that we listen to

today which as well present insights or interpret literary pieces.

Do you know other examples? Can you give one?

Visual Media are pictures produced by a

camera, artist, mirror. It is important in
presenting literary text through multimedia
because our brain can interpret images much
quicker than text. Additionally, images give
depth and context to a description or story
and provide a much more immersive
experience than writing alone. Examples of
this format are the Marvel stories presented
in a comic strip.

Are there other images or digital arts you’ve seen which may
represent a certain literary text? What story did it highlight?
Motion media use a series of drawings, computer graphics, frames or
photographs of objects that are slightly different from one another and that

when viewed quickly one after another create the appearance of movement.
These raw files are then processed using online or offline video application to
produce a content combining images, texts and sound.

Using this form of media may then entice more to appreciate literature
and have better understanding of it. For instance, the movie adaptation of
the Harry Potter series has made millions of viewers appreciate the novel
series written by J.K. Rowling. The same is true with varied children’s books
now having video or animation presentations for kids to better enjoy such
stories.

What movies or clips have you seen which are based on a certain
literary text? What story did it highlight?

In order to create and produce a creative presentation of a literary text

using any of the above multimedia examples, it is important to take note of
the following steps:

1. Read and understand the reading selection very well. Write down
your insights and reflections about it.

2. From your understanding of the text, you may draft a story board
or a plan of how you are to present the story through your chosen
medium.

3. You may begin writing your script (for video), or words and lyrics
(for audio).

4. Develop or create your raw files. You may start taking pictures,
drawing images

5. Use ICT tools and applications to process your raw files and to
produce your multimedia output.
