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.
