BEE MOVIE

My grandmum used to say " Kwago (cartoons)na naman ?! anung matututunan mo jan!?". Contrary to what she said, I always believed that you could find lessons in the most unexpected places.

The film actually makes you think about how our actions affect those that are around us. Our role in society may determine how well the society thrives. Every time we watch the news, scenes of utter distraught , calamity, chaos , and discord welcome us to the harsh reality that is our country's state. We, as spectators, blame it all on our leaders for their face is what we see most of the time, but rarely do we realize that in reality,we ourselves are also to blame.

One scene, the part where the lawyer was trying every tactic to win a case, was most disturbing for me. The reality is ,this situation happens and in actuality cheating in any field and in any situation is always present. The parody they create is a way of coping with the sad reality that is happening in our country.

They always said that the youth was the future of our country. We as pioneers of the new knowledge the earlier generations have harnessed for us should only do our best to safeguard the wisdom passed on to us. As part of the youth and as part of the future It industry, striving to pass on the knowledge by means of technology.

Video Compression

Video compression, in Layman's terms, is the cramming of the video in as little
memory as possible while still retaining some of the videos original quality.

The act of video compression is lossy. It came about from the condition that much of the data before compression was not really necessary in presenting the video .
