An Analysis of Sarah Geronimo and Bamboo’s You and Me production number viewed in ASAP on April 17, 2016 (In Comparison With Just Give Me a Reason- May 5 and Iris Ver. 8)
Hindi ito diploma thesis. Thesis ‘to ng kabaliwan ko. Hi. Itago mo ako sa pangalang Jessica. Ashboo shipper ako no’ng July 2013. Medyo natunaw bandang December 2014. Nag hibernate ang fanney life ko no’ng 2015. At dahil bakasyon na at bigla silang gumanito nang ‘di ko maintindihan, gumawa ko ng ganitong klaseng emerot.
The Problem and its Background
Nasa akin lamang ang problema. Na-miss ko na magsulat about them. Nagsulat din ako sa wattpad kaso yung works ko na nakilala ng medyo marami, binura ko na. Para wala na lang problema. Baka hinuhusgahan na ako dahil sa wrong grammar ko.
Ayon sa concept ng modality by Kress and van Leeuwen (1996),modality is a term for how reliable images are and the “truth value or credibility of statements about the world”. It is also argued by linguistics that modality is important in visual communication. Although, Kress and van Leeuwen also state that judging modality is relative. It depends on the interpretation of the viewer.
My conceptual framework shows what I did during my research. Oo, binuksan ko ang mata ko.

Ako ay simple lamang na viewer na gustong mag-analyze gamit ang concept ng modality. Hanggang dito lang kayo iikot sa nilalaman ng utak ko, pwede na rin yung sariling bias ko. At nga pala, image lang ang iaaanalyze natin.
Dahil di naman ‘to diploma thesis, mag proceed na tayo sa Data Analysis. To give you a jump-start, I am going to show you more than twenty photos until we arrive sa conclusion natin. (all photos are taken from ABS-CBN’s youtube videos. No copyright infringement intended. Photos are not mine.)
PHOTO SET NO. 1: Bamboo starts the song
Umpisa pa lang ay napuno na ng emotions sa mismong song number, pero dahil image lang ang i-aanalyze natin, masasabi kong malungkot siya diyan. Para siyang nanginginig.
May iniisip siya diyan. Baka may hugot? Ga’ano karami na ba ang nawalang oras sa kanya?
Pawala na siya ng pawala sa mundo. Malalim na ang iniisip niya. Tignan niyo ang mata niya, parang naluluha na. Bamboo started to gain the audience by showing his intensified emotion char! Me gano’n?
PHOTO SET NO. 2: Entrance ng chorus by Sarah G.
I don’t know kung camera tricks lang iyan, pero bakit parang watery ang eyes ni ate girl? Don’t hate me, but I see hugot there. Don’t you see it, too?
May mga tao na sadyang masaya. May mga taong sadyang malungkot. May mga taong sadyang maligaya at may mga taong sadyang miserable. Kahit isa do’n ay hindi ko nakita sa kanya. I don’t know if the make-up hinders it, pero I see here na she’s happy, yet sad. Alam niyo iyon. Let’s proceed to another photo.
Ayan, eto na yung sinasabi kong akala ko kanina reel na, pero nagmukha siyang real. Para siyang may iniisip dito. LOL I like her nails, BTW.
PHOTO SET NO. 3: TWO-GETHER
Now check these photos. Hindi ito ang mga litratong parang may sariling mundo. Sa point na ito, boses ang gumagana. At sa point na ito, ganap na ganap ang roleplay nila-- kaso ‘di ba dapat medyo magaang ang feeling nila pag irerelate sa kanta? “Cause it’s you and me and all of the people...”
Pero bakit parang may regret? Bakit ako nasasaktan?
Sobrang konti ng titigan. Wala tuloy akong kilig moment masyado.
Fortunately, may na--huli akong tinginan. Yieee. Kinilig ako nang very light there.
Eto pa! Tumingin si Bamboo kay SG. Kinikilig ako.
Same same gaming :) I love it!
Look at the way Sarah looks at him! :’))
Para siyang nakatingin sa taong importante sa kanya. This happens once in a blue moon. Cherish it, self!
Sarah: You may have your doubts what are we about. But meeting you was more than fate.
Trivia from I don’t know who: Do you know that performing is like acting. Artista ka, kung singer ka!
Tignan mo siya. Umiiyak na siya. Bby, don’t cry!
Sarah G, do you see a person inside your head? Or do you feel him beside ya. hahaha!
PHOTO SET NO. 5: THROWBACK
Para naman sa hopia... how are the photos today different with these photos three years ago?
Maybe watery eyes were trends since then, but aside from the fact that they’re younger, they feel less.
same same gaming I did not love much.
Ha! Caught you looking, B! Bat di ka tumitingin ngayon?
Caught you looking more than once, B!
PHOTO SET NO 6: Others don’t know
Sa perspective ng iba, sigurado ako iba ang nakikita nila!
Ate I love your kili-kili.
Sa perspective kasi ng iba, hindi nila nakikita ang nakikita namin. Kami lang nakakakita nito kasi gusto namin ‘to makita. Kaya bago humusga ang iba, sana ilagay niyo ang sarili niyo sa position namin.
Photo credit to the owner. I see them like this.
PHOTO SET NO. 7: Bandang ending
Look at this! Look at the way she looks at him! Grand! It’s like looking at someone you like, you admire, you love.... This photo is making Ashboo fans asa and other fans hurt.
The clock’s never alive, B. Until today. Open your eyes.
Or you keep them close because you keep the gap?
PHOTO SET NO. 8: TAPOS NA ANG ILUSYON
I’d like to say this was all real. Na hindi lang siya simpleng moment na binigay ng kanta.
But it was all reel (photo credit to the one who took this offcam video) It was the same awkward handshake.
Hindi ko sinasabing bigyan mo ng meaning ang mga litratong ipinakita ko. Hindi ko rin sinasabing ‘wag. Masaya ang tumira sa imahinasyon. Masaya ang mag-isip sa sarili mong expense, pero malungkot din kung mapapatunayan mong hindi mere imagination lang pala.
Alam ko ang katotohanan sa love life nilang dalawa. Wala akong palag do’n. Pero kung hater ka man, wag mo naman ako husgahan. Tao lang ako.
‘Wag mo nang gawin ang ginawa ko. You’ll end up believing in what your eyes can see and what your heart can feel.
It might or might not be real.
Gusto ko lang ipakita sa’yo ang dahilan kung bakit nag-OA ako.
It has always been him, following. It has always been his voice that was so dominant.
Okay. Goodbye! Sorry pero si SG nagdala ngayon.
