Basic Responsibility of Infocomm Club Members
Posted on:
Posted at: 9:52 PM
Dear Juniors,
As Infocomm Club members, I hope that all of you understand and retain this fact in your mind that it is our very basic responsibility to support the school with our services. I am very disturbed by the fact that nobody took photo for this morning's prize presentation.
As members of Infocomm Club, such a CCA which requires high level of professionalism, I cannot believe that you can sit at ease staring at the stage when it is supposed to be our duty to do something about it!
Given the amount of time, I believe that the photos of prize presentation could still have been taken even though the first few would have been missed. Of course in the case whereby there is no duty list, I would not expect normal club members to take action. However, I would like to know what exactly was going through the minds of the committee members at that moment! Committee members, you are the front line of the club. if anything goes wrong, the first ones they will come after is YOU! Then why do you get extra CCA points for when you are not doing your job?
It is especially embarassing that a teacher has to take photos when our school actually has a club to do so. What does it reflect on us as a club as a whole?
I hope that before the duty list is out, the Committee members will look for Ms Guo or Mrs Tan immediately if such a situation occurs again.
After the duty list is out, members will stick closely to their duty and find a replacement before the actual day if you know that you will not be able to do duty.
In conclusion, I hope that such incidents will not occur again. You all can try working with your friends in AV and ask them to inform you if they see prizes of related stuff to be given out in the morning. It will be better if you are also in AV. If you are also in AV and you notice that prizes are going to be given out and that it's not a tuesday or a thursday, PLEASE inform Ms Guo or Mrs Tan at the first instance so that they can find someone to take photos. To end, "Prevention is better then cure". I hope that such incidents will not occur again.
Your Graduating VP cum Photo Head,
Ang Yu Ming

Prize-giving Ceremony Duty (Tuesday & Thursday)
Posted on:
Posted at: 3:58 PM
As Riverside is winning many awards, the school has specifically allocated two days for prize-giving which is
Tuesdays and
Thursdays.
Hence,
ALL INFOCOMM CLUB MEMBERS need to be on duty throughout the year, starting next week. Huishi is currently working out a schedule so that everyone knows when they are on duty and on standby. It will be posted over the weekend. You may or may not be needed to take photos on that day itself. Hence please be alert during the assembly.
Preparation work before the day:
- Make sure the batteries are charged before you keep the camera and it is still in good working condition.
- If not, please charge the batteries before you place them in the cupboard and report the fault immediately.
- You should know the functions of the camera. The day itself is NOT the day to learn!
- Inform your form teacher preferably the day before that you will be on-duty and present yourself before them that very morning so that he/she will mark you as present during assembly.
- Ensure that you adhere to the school rules. Your dressing, hair and shoes are done properly. After all, the whole school will be looking at you and what you are doing. Don't embarass yourself or the club.
If you are
on duty that day,
Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) :
- Please reach the school LATEST by 7.15am.
- Retrieve the digital camera (which is kept in the cupboard on the right side of the stage). You can get the keys from Mdm Lua or Ms Guo or the AV Club members on duty that day.
- Write your name, class, date of duty and sign your name in the logbook.
- After the ceremony is over, quickly transfer the photos in the camera using the laptop to the teacher-in-charge's thumbdrive. Please delete the photos in the digital camera after you transfer the photos into the teacher-in-charge's thumbdrive or alternatively you can use the 'cut' option to transfer the photos.
- Please get the teacher-in-charge to write their name and sign against the logbook, which is also placed in the cupboard for acknowledgement of your service.
- Keep the camera properly in its casing and place it back in its allocated position in the cupboard, lock the cupboard and return the keys.
If you are
on standby that day,
- Please reach the school LATEST by 7.15am also.
- If the person on duty is already there, you need not be around. However if the person on duty is not there, you need to do duty for that day. Refer to the above for the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP).
Note:
- Please inform early in advance of any swap in duties so that everyone is aware of the swap.
- If you are absent on that day and the person on standby takes over you, please carry out his or her duty in return.

Updates on Training & Farewell Celebration
Posted on: Wednesday, March 25, 2009
Posted at: 9:01 PM
Infocomm Club trainings for the rest of the year will be held on
every Wednesday in
Computer Lab 2 from
2.30pm to 5.00pm. Please do not go to the old venue anymore. Meeting on
Fridays will still be in
Commerce Room.
Club meeting
this Friday will be
cancelled. Need not come for CCA activity. However you and your group may want to meet up to prepare for the competition project(s). April is just next week, meaning the deadline for some competitions is coming soon. *hint* *hint*
The "
dynamic Infocomm Club banner" to be developed using Adobe Premiere Pro and Flash (which the club will be doing training on) is to be done by
November 2009. Get your ideas together as a pair or a maximum group of 4 to design a nice banner to be put up on our blog, advertising our club. As we scanned through the storyboards today, some have good potential. Keep it up! :) Remember to bring your storyboard along next session.
As for the
Farewell Celebration, it will tentatively set on
15 Apr 2009 (Wednesday) after training
5pm to 6pm. Otherwise it will be held on 17 Apr 2009 (Friday) 5pm to 6pm. Need to wait for confirmation on the Focus Study timing from the graduating students first. Will post again for any more updates.
We are pleased to announce that nobody came in late for today's training! (So nobody paid $0.50. Wondering whether it is good or bad news since we don't have much funds for celebration.)
Anyway, the notes for the training will be given out during next club meeting. I do not wish to rebuke you in front of the trainer every session for even small things like note-taking and drinking water. Please develop a good habit of keeping your notes properly. Hence, prepare a
training file to keep your notes in it and bring it along for all training sessions. All notes lost will be replaced at your own cost.
Reminder (again):
NO HOMEWORK IS ALLOWED DURING TRAINING SESSIONS!Members on duty for the various events (big or small) must be vigilant and ensure the equipment to be used is charged the day before the event. Don't turn up on that day itself and expect the equipment to be charged and ready for use. The equipment has no hands, legs or feelings so do not expect it to be charged by itself. Please turn up at the event on time, if not earlier. It is all part of professionalism.
Some members still have not handed in the Photography Workshop reply forms to me yet. Please do so asap. Patience is running dry.

Some help for National iSports Media Challenge 2009
Posted on: Sunday, March 22, 2009
Posted at: 12:02 AM
For those taking part in this competition, you and your team members might want to tune in to Channel 5 @ 7.30 p.m. every Wednesday to catch the programme "The School Nationals". It is a show of various schools taking part in various sports competition. You and your team members might want to take note of details like what exactly they capture and the way they go about capturing those moments. As for the interviewing part, I don't think it is being done in the show.Watching more news on tv might help a little. In any case, I hope you can gain something from such a productive show and make use of it to assist you and your teammates to do well in the competition. All the best for your competitions.

Infocomm Training during June & November Holidays
Posted on: Thursday, March 19, 2009
Posted at: 9:00 PM
Please block out the first week of June holidays (
1 - 5 June) and the first week of November holidays (
17 - 20 Nov) for Infocomm training. These days will be
full day training from morning till evening. Club rules still apply during these two periods.
An official letter will be drafted and printed for you to give and inform your parents by the Term 2 Week 2 of these training sessions. In the meantime, please advise your parents
NOT to schedule any holidays during this two periods as there will not be any makeup sessions. It is crucial that you complete all training sessions as we will be providing a certificate to all members that successfully completed the training course.
The details of the training will be posted up shortly. Any problems please notify Ms Guo or Mrs Tan
EARLY!Labels: Infocomm Club Training 2009
Competition Progress
Posted on: Wednesday, March 18, 2009
Posted at: 11:20 PM
In the midst of preparation for the competitions, please
READ THE JUDGING CRITERIA again and ensure that you (and your group)
ADHERE to the guidelines. Please fulfill the
THEME as closely as possible, be it the plot, the background music (including lyrics, tempo), the visual effects, the video or audio clips, the photographs, etc.
Please also ensure that you have acquired the permission from the respective owners for the music, photographs and video clips used. It is a serious matter if you fail to comply.
Before taking official photographs and video clips on the event day itself (especially big major events such as Learning Journey and Sports Carnival) using the respective equipment, do take test shots indoors and outdoors, get yourself
FAMILIARISED with the equipment
BEFORE THE EVENT DAY ITSELF. The event day is
NOT the time to get yourself trained on the equipment. You
SHOULD BE WELL-PREPARED and
READY!
If you seriously
DO NOT understand the equipment and its functions, seek help
EARLY from the seniors. Failing to perform your assigned task is a serious matter! We have
NOTHING to provide for that event, that is no photographs or video clips for the school newsletter, magazine, website, assembly screening, etc. Worst still, the photographs are over-exposed or out of focus and the video clips are unstable, jerky or the scenes are not even captured (such as a winning goal!). How embarassing the club (and YOU) will be in front of the entire school? Please take some initiative to
PRACTISE your photography and/or video-taking skills. The club cameras and camcorders can be loaned out for practice use (if there are no events requiring the equipment) so there should not be an excuse such as "I don't know.".
Hence, Ms Guo and Mrs Tan will be checking on your competition progress on
Wednesday 25 March. Please get ready to show us your ideas and your "masterpieces". If you haven't started, start
NOW! What are you waiting for?

Resume of Infocomm Club Video Training
Posted on: Saturday, March 14, 2009
Posted at: 11:30 AM
The long-awaited Infocomm Club Training by ACP trainers will officially resume on
25 Mar 2.30pm to 5.00pm in Computer Lab 3. Training will be on video-editing.
As we did not have training in Term 1, we may increase our Wednesday training session from the current 2.5 hours to 3 hours so that we can complete our 30 hours of training within this year. Otherwise we will have to come back during the first week of June and/or first week of November holidays for extra training sessions. Will require your opinions on this issue written as a comment under this section.
Btw all training sessions are
COMPULSORY unless you are ill or have a valid reason. Graduating students need not join in the training sessions as focus study will be starting in Term 2 afternoons.
The delay of the trainings was due to the purchase of the Adobe software and it is to be installed during the March holidays.

Sports Carnival 2009 AAR
Posted on: Friday, March 13, 2009
Posted at: 7:51 PM
Due to the early ending of the sports carnival, the video was not being done.However, I have noticed some flaws in the photos that were taken and some other areas.
Experienced members or trained members should be assigned the SLR instead of inexperienced members.This will make the whole process more smooth and I believe more precious shots could have been taken.For example, Celine.Even though she is not experienced, why wasn't she trained in the morning or before? And of course the seniors should not be blamed.She should have seek help from us maybe on wednesday or earlier.
This, is Sports Carnival, not some competition or leisure time where you take photos of your class, people, class photo or group photo! Even if you are to take shots of people, you should take them in action, playing sports[E.g. Catching the ball, throwing the frisbee].Not some big group of people walking or sitting there watching the match.You can take these shots, but they SHOULD NOT consist of MORE THAN 10% of all your photos.It will be even better if you can take more professional shots such that the photos that you take reflects the theme of the event [For this instance, "Respect the spirit of Sports"].
Basic camera skill : Focus your shot first before you take a picture.Although people are moving, you should still try to focus the shot before taking the shot.It will definitely be better than taking the shot without focusing first.
Although there was a time for you all to report back to let me upload the photo [11 am], you all should try to understand that neither me nor the iMac have super powers.Time is needed for uploading especially for the videos.Uploading time for videos is as long as the time of the length of the video taken.
Hope that you all will take note of the points mentioned and do a better job for the next event=D.

Link:
http://www.adrenaline.sg/iSports/index.aspxThe main aim of this competition is to be "Sports Reporters" for our school. A team of 5 keen members will be needed to showcase the school sports culture on a dedicated "sports channel". Riverside Secondary School has been a very active school in participation of various sports, even uniformed groups and clubs are using sports activities to build team spirit and enhance team bonding. Students can borrow sports equipment to play during recess. Last year we even won a cheering competition. These go to show that we have a very vibrant sports culture. :) Who can help our school capture all of that down? YOU!
This is a RARE chance to come by and each school can only send in
ONE TEAM. These members will learn essential infocomm skills, practical interviewing and presentation skills on-the-job which will be helpful no matter where you go after you leave Riverside Secondary School.
Your team may want to register to attend the following workshop.

Reminder 1
Posted on: Tuesday, March 10, 2009
Posted at: 5:52 PM
Just a reminder to all of you (again). Although it is the last week of school, CCA is ongoing as usual! Those who are not turning up on that day will be required to produce a MC or a parents' letter stating a valid reason why you are unavailable. Failing to produce it will result in disciplinary action being taken against you. :)
Regarding the blog management, President Shi Jie will be maintaining the blog. The other Committee members are allowed to have the password access to this blog for putting up various notices. If for some reason you are holding on to the password to this blog and you are NOT a Committee member, please inform Shi Jie. We need to ensure there is no breach in security.
For the Committee members who are posting information on this blog, please sign off your name at the end of each post to let the members know that the information is from you.
Just to add on to Ms Guo's post, the copyright matter is being treated seriously. Nobody is to post any of our photos or videos without Ms Guo's or Mrs Tan's permission. Nobody at all! Not even sharing with your family members! If the photos or videos are still being circulated around, it might affect any club plans that we may have in future. Anyway, it is our club's collective hard work and effort (literally perspiration and maybe tears as well) put in by your fellow club mates or maybe even yourself. If you simply share them with others (for free), who will get the recognition? This will be a breach on copyright and intellectual property.
Hence, we have to be proud of the work we produce and not let someone else get hold of our photos or videos and pass it off as theirs isn't it? =D Let this be a warning to those who have been posting our photos or videos online but also those who have been circulating photos and videos of any form! The copyright issue not only covers major events but in fact ALL EVENTS!
By the way, all members except graduating members (excluding 4/1) are to join at least one competition. Come on! It is an easy target to reach. If every year, every member take part in one competition, by the end of 4 years, you will have 4 representations for school for competitions at hand. Same thing for CIP. If everyone participate in our CCA CIP, you can obtain at least 3 hours of CIP per year, that is 12 hours of CIP in 4 years from our CCA alone. All these will go into your graduation testimonal and LEAPS points before you graduate from Riverside Secondary School. Is that worthwhile to get a distinction (A1 or A2) for CCA and get the two points reduction for your 'O' level? So what are you waiting for? Stop slacking and start working!
To those members who have not hit the CIP bottles collection target yet, you are reminded to bring all that you need to fill the quota tomorrow. If not, you will have to do a make-up CIP which might very well be cleaning up random places at different times of the year.
Lastly, all members are reminded not to be late as there will be a fine of $0.50 that will be imposed on all latecomers. Of course we would not like to take away your precious money as that would mean lesser money for you to fill your stomach, but we do need everyone to be on time so that we can convey important messages to everyone and organise activities on time. =D
Once again, all members' cooperation is required and very much appreciated. =) Thank You.
Your Graduating VP cum Photo Head,
Ang Yu Ming=)
