Had to present during lecture today as Gab was not around. It was a very last minute decision and so i was a lil nervous but things turned out well. The feedback from the panel was useful too. We never thought that there were some restrictions if we are going to record sound from certain scenarios like those involving kids and such.
Really appreciate the panel's advise and questions as they made my group think deeper into this project. :)

Post Production post for Week 1
When I first attending PP1 lecture, I was thinking, "What is all this?!" I was seriously confused because I had no idea what all of it was about. The endless mind maps with super confusing arrows that led to everywhere.
It seemed intimidating, but after a month of delving deeper into it as well as being aided by further explanation by David(hello! :p ), it became more comprehensable. The readings on convergence media was refreshing and changed the way that I used to view traditional forms of media.
When I was back in secondary school in Singapore (I think it's the high school equivalent here), I used to watch television all the time as compared to when I was in primary school and radio was what I tuned in to most of the time. I did not register both of them as being linked. For me, radio was radio, and TV was simply TV.
Back in my poly days, I came to find out more about the media industries through my mass communications diploma and boy was it fun! As we did advertising projects, we found out that the most effective way to reach the masses was by all 4 main forms of media, namely print, radio, tv and the internet. That was where we realised that these different forms actually work together as a single powerful tool!
The readings on convergence media further elaborated how the conglomerates were each trying to grasp the key to maximizing their own form of media. Those readings were good in helping me to have a clearer view how convergence works. :)

Job Plan:
1) In order to get more people to contribute to Pool for My Tribe, I have decided to try and get my friends and some other people from my network to participate in this assignment. First of all, I will get my circle of friends from Singapore who actively write poems, prose, short stories and songs to come up with content and participate in Pool. Some of my friends back in Singapore have been writing poems and short stories. They either put them up on their Facebook account. They have been finding places to properly post their literary works and I think that this will be a good opportunity for them to be able to showcase their talent. I will encourage them to post their works and refine them whenever they to so that they can present their works to others and they can also try out different styles of writing.
Next on my list will be my friends in Singapore who compose songs or are able to sing well. These group of friends are keen on getting their songs and performances seen or heard and hope to be talent spotted so that they may get a chance to become professionals in their respective fields. These are the people that I can really appeal to with Pool as they will be able to showcase their works and hopefully be superstars one day! I will encourage them to post whenever they can and keep watch on the feedback that is given so that they can further refine their skills on their individual craft. This particular group will also be the ones who will be hoping to get recognition for their works and even get talent spotted.
With many people being interested in Japanese animation and manga, I can try to get my friends to contribute their pictures to Pool just to showcase the nice costumes from the animation or manga that they have made themselves and let other people know what their tribe is about. These can be veterans at their art who just post their pictures to let others who are interested in trying out being costume players have an idea on how their costumes should look like. They can also be amateurs who are trying to get constructive feedback on how to further improve their costumes so that it will look good.
Lastly, I can try to get videos from will be from Ngee Ann Polytechnic's very own production house, CTV (Campus Television). They are well-known and experienced as they are Singapore's first television production house within a school campus. They will be interested to collaborate with a RMIT and ABC to come up with shows for either Pool or for the screen on Federation Square. I have been in contact with the teacher in charge and he can further spread the word about Pool and Federation Square as he has his contacts in Singapore's media industry.
2) I am in the Federation Square tutorial group and I am interested in becoming the liaison with the other tutorials to keep them updated of what we are doing as well as to keep my group informed of how the other groups are planning for the launch of the event as well. I will be working with other members of my group to create content that will be shown on Federation Square during certain times of the day to spark interest for the main event on the 20th of May.

Testing Testing
Tis entry first,
To test thy thirst,
Of knowledge obtained,
And minds that are stained.
