    Fidelity of the film adaptation of the novel "Fifty shades of grey"
    Billones, Toni Rose D.; Tumbagahan, Angelique S. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2016-05)
    This undergraduate thesis is a critical analysis of film adaptation Fifty Shades of Grey to find out its fidelity to the novel in terms of character, setting, and plot using the Theory of Adaptation by Linda Hutcheon and the interpretation of film adaptations by John Desmond and Peter Hawkes. This study highlights the characteristics of the film as a medium especially when it is adapted from a literary work and selves as a guide for filmmakers in adapting literary works. It recommends that film producers should work with the author to create a more faithful adaptation especially to novel series like Fifty Shades. The analysis uses a codebook designed to allow cues to be counted and tallied to determine the elements carried over in the film adaptation. The researchers conclude that the film Fifty Shades of Grey is an intermediate adaptation of the novel with certain narrative elements specifically the character, setting and plot, undergoing addition or deletion in the adaptation process. The dropping of some characters caused a domino-effect on the other elements such as the setting and plot events. The film adaptation changed the mood of the story, from a very explicit into a more subtle form, by adding scenes that can be categorized as romantic rather than sensual

    Self-disclosure and stages of relationship formation in social networking sites: The case of Facebook
    Arista, Mark Joshua O.; Ricopuerto, Maicah B. (Division of Humanities , College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2012-03)
    This study contributes to literature on computer-mediated communication, particularly online relationship formation. It serves as a source of information for people to know what kind of information they should disclose online, specifically on Facebook, and helps users to analyze and identify differences between their online and offline relationships. This study analyzed how online relationships are formed in Facebook in terms of self-disclosure and how users form relationships through their Facebook accounts. A total of 420 respondents answered the survey questionnaires designed to analyze online self-disclosure among Facebook users and the stages of relational development in Facebook. Results showed that respondents were reluctant to disclose information regarding personal matters, beliefs or religious convictions, relationships, and sex; and were willing to disclose information regarding their interests. Furthermore, it was found that the probability of online relationships like romantic relationships to develop is relatively small while relationships like being friends or acquaintances have the bigger chance to build up. It was also found that if a relationship was developed online, it undergoes certain stages which are similar to the stages of face-to-face relationships. This study concludes that Facebook users do not consider the site as a proper or right medium/channel for self-disclosure, especially of highly private and personal matters, which is the ground for relationships to develop. Meaning, the development of online romantic relationships is not always possible. Basically, interpersonal relationships in Facebook are confined to acquaintanceship which is grounded on common interests. Future researches could also explore other aspects of online relationships like anonymity or look at the role of Facebook in maintaining already existing relationships. An unstructured interview which can gather valuable insights from the respondents is also recommended. Other researchers can also test the quality and longevity of relationships which are initiated in Facebook and brought face-to-face.
