Using film in pedagogy

April 11, 2023
A documentary film on the importance of mangrove in the ecosystem was recently screened at the UP Diliman (UPD) Institute of Biology Auditorium. Bakawan is a 45-minute documentary that tackles the significance of mangroves to the coastal ecosystem, the reason for the decline of mangrove forest in the Philippines, the persisting threats to mangroves, and the rehabilitation efforts being carried out. Shot on the island of Alabat, Quezon, Bakawan was produced and co-written by Nick Deocampo, an associate professor at the Film Institute of the UPD College of Mass Communication, and directed and narrated by Lemnuel V. Aragones, PhD, former director of the Institute of Environmental Science and Meteorology (IESM) of the UPD College of Science. Deocampo. Photo by Jerald DJ. Caranza, UPDIO Deocampo described Bakawan as an example of a third film front. He believes that the audio-visual industry can really take root in the academic community. “By watching Bakawan today and many of the other films that we could be producing, we are now reconciling ourselves to the new media that will allow us to really have a sign-based pedagogy. We will be looking at motion-pictures, we will be looking at images as a source of our knowledge,” Deocampo said. A scene from Bakawan. Photo by Jerald DJ. Caranza, UPDIO Meanwhile, Aragones said Alabat used to have serious problems with its coastal areas, but now has a good coastal ecosystem. It is special to him since he frequently visited the island when he was an undergraduate student. “My initial prognosis at that time was kawawa na itong isla na ito, because when we were snorkeling and scuba diving in the eastern side of the island, maraming issue sa pagpapaputok noon. However, when I came back in 1998 after my PhD, I saw that there was a semblance of recovery. This (semblance of recovery) became a very important impetus for me to package in the mindset of a scientist; to showcase the environmental issues this educational material,” Aragones said. Aragones.
