It is a vital one and there are things to be cleared and discussed!


Thank you!

Cheers,
Jason

We'll begin our video shooting tomorrow, November 24 as well as November 25, the day after. It should be a good kick-start.

CANCELED!

I decided to post up on the useful tips and wisdom-filled advice given by our beloved senior, Wee Kiat.

Golden Rule
Orientation is for everybody and everyone should be a part of it. It would definitely NOT be a success without everyone's effort and help.
and of course! Your Pharma Spirit!

Vice President
-Settle all negotiations and paperworks
a) Permission for the Family Park (police)
b) Permission for areas around IMU (SSD, AAD) ***BOOK EARLY!***
c) Meeting with the Dean
d) Negotiate money with SRC Treasurer

Treasurers
-It's all about the money; keeping good track (black and white)

Secreataries
-Compiling and recording stuff

GameMasters
-Finalize the games early and test run if possible. Take note of games details (e.g. water source)
-Brief Station Masters early on their roles.
-Always have plan B in case it rains.

Designers
-Make sure that you're not the middle man when dealing with anything and receive first-hand information about anything regarding to your field.
-Booklet! Provide information on dress code nights; safety and agendas

Decoration
-Plan and set up the LT2 stages early, if possible 1 or 2 hours before the event starts.

Video
-Very Important! Test run the videos in respective venues before hand as certain computers may not have the Codecs needed to play.
-If possible, ensure the video shooting is done 2 weeks before the actual orientation so that the video crew would have time to edit.
-Very Important! Ensure that only a selected few know who the murderer is for Detective Video!

Performances
Finale - this event is actually an event purely for the Juniors, so you may want to prepare 3 performances or so (up to you)

Dress Code
-Very Important! Establish a proper scoring system. Make sure there's no biasness in judging.
Judges can make special request for tasks or punishments. Plan with them as this will make your Dress codes event more FUN!

MC
Very Important! for the Dress code event:
a) Control the flow of event
b) If possible, prepare a rough script (tasks and punishments) or else jokes will be repetitive. Plan with the judges regarding the tasks and punishments.
c) Kindly remind the juniors that dirtyness will not be tolerated (Minus Mark!)
d) Be Lively!

PA, Music & Lighting
-Double check with the IT Department that they have unlocked the PA room before the end of office hours (before 4.30pm)
- PA room has to be booked separately on the Booking Form! Booking LT2 doesn't mean that you are able to access the PA room.

Photography
-You're our very own Paparazzi's!

Souvenirs
-Prepare early!

Scorekeeper
-Get a board to be placed at the Atrium
-Update the scores EARLY, to keep the juniors excited
-Very Important! You may want to keep certain scores a mystery (Charity scores) till the end when you announce it during the Finale; to create some suspense.
-Very Important! Inform the OOs regarding how many marks an event will carry.

Food
-Make sure it's halal

Cleanliness
-Deduction of marks system for the Juniors if place of the responsible team found dirty. Collaborate with the MCs.

Security
-Very Important! Vital! Take note on this issues:
a) Transition from IMU to Family Park (especially at night)
Ensure that there are people around the bridges and exit points.
b) Around Family Park
Be aware of the areas without proper lighting systems
c) Walkie-talkie; communication with the B.O.Ds and First Aid Crew
d) Make sure NO belongings get lost during games (e.g. lock them in the LT2/get someone to watch over)
e) Ensure that the juniors who are waiting for their parents are not left alone after the events; wait in groups!

First Aid
-Get the First Aid Box from SSD
-Make sure everyone have your number

Quarter Masters
-Handyman/woman
-Be ready to give a helping hand

Advisors
-Advise and Relax

These are the things highlighted by Wee Kiat! Take note about it.

Cheers,
Jason

To Yee Sheun, I'm sorry for spelling your name wrongly. I have corrected it already =D

First of all, the news I got from Wee Kiat is that the Psychology Students next year will NOT be joining our orientation as their intake will probably be around February *claps claps*

and to my fellow Oscar-winning actors and actresses! We have gotta start shooting! So, immerse yourself into the role! =D

and and . . . . the B.O.D.s are doing a good job as well as Ren Yi for his awesome-ness video editting!


Cheers,
Jason

Nothing much yet for this few weeks; more attention on the proposal and the designing.

Treasure Hunt and Detective Night videos will be shot SOON~

and PAY UP the fees! =D

Jason

There will be music from the start till the end. I would propose matching the walking with the tempo of the music from the start till the Scrabble sequence.

Proposed music: Don’t Worry, Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin

o Music plays showing IMU building and pathway.

o Camera follows Jason’s footsteps from the front.

o Jason walks along pathway outside of IMU. (focus to identify chief executive)

o Chei Wan joins him at the slope. (focus to identify chief administration)

o Audrey and Yee Lin (holding files) joins them at main entrance as their personal assistant. (focus to identify secretaries)

o They meet Zi Fen and Mar-jie at ATM. (focus to identify treasurers)

o All 6 proceed up escalator.

o Meet Ridhwan, Alex, Mei Ying and Jo Lene at first floor playing Scrabble (focus to identify game masters)

o All 6 approach the 4.

o Chei Wan talks to the camera: “Don’t worry juniors, the orientation will not be as boring as Scrabble…”

o Jason talks to the camera: “It’ll be really fun throughout your orientation in IMU”

o All 10 walks to PBL rooms.

o Jason says:“Take a look here, they have been preparing for your orientation”

o Jason open the first door to see the designers group preparing stuff. (focus to identify each committee)

o This is repeated for the other 14 groups.

o Everyone comes out of PBL rooms

o Everyone looks at the camera and says:”Welcome to P110 Orientation!” at the PBL corridor.

o Focus camera on Scrabble board with arrangement of “Darkness Is ARound You”

Video Shooting time : 1.45pm till 4/5pm

Meeting Venue : First Floor (next to escalator)

Dress code : Formal (good impression for our juniors)

***The last few sequences in the PBL rooms will be shot first so that fellow committee members can leave earlier. Scenes with BODs only will be done after that.

It did not worked out as plan. Quite a number are still away with their personal agenda. So I suggested that we moved it to the week of Sem 3.
There should no longer be any obstacles in the way! =D

*a big pats on Ren Yi's back for being on fire for the orientation!*

Remember! The orientation includes everybody and it's everyone's!
