So what is it that we REALLY do here in DMC?

Hello all you beautiful people! 

Now i know we've been telling you a lot of things about DMC, and this might seem like a lot of information to take in. So you might be drowning in this pool of words. 

But fret not, because here's where the guardians of DMC step in. we figured we'd pause on all the words about DMC and really show you what are some of the things we come up with right here at DMC. 

The following two videos are videos we did right here at dmc, during the modules Video production and Radio and tv management. They were a lot of fun to make and even funner to watch the end product!

So sit back and enjoy these videos, that show you the very essence of what we do in DMC. 

The above video was done during our module called Video Production and Design Post, where we had to come up with a video of any kinds at all! Having the freedom to come up with literally any kind of video was very exciting and we decided to do it, horror style. It was through this module that we got to work with cool high-technology camcorders, and mics, boom poles, lightings and a whole lot of new fascinating tools! Fret not if you're unsure how to use all these new gadgets because our caring lecturers will definitely guide you along.

This video was done for our module: Radio Production and TV management. We got to feel what it would be like to partake in a live recording, and deal with all the tools they use during all live recordings. Just like those in TV shows you see! DMC equips you with all the tools you need for production, right here at our swanky new working environment called The Agency. This module will endow you with almost all the skills you need to be a technical director, producer, director, scriptwriter, visual director, floor manager and of course the star in front of the camera!

This video was done during a module called Social Media. Seen all those viral videos on Youtube or Facebook? Well you can do it right here at DMC with the power of social media at your fingers. This module teaches you all about social media like Facebook, Twitter and Blogger and all the tips behind how to successfully manage your social media presence. The best part about this module? You are graded for your social media participation! Sounds fun?

So there they are. Our very own work that we did over the past two years, with a little hardwork and a lot of shamelessness [ which you will definitely learn in your course of studying here in DMC! >:) ]

There's so much memories we have created along this wonderful journey and i don't think we could ask for anymore. And we hope you will have just as much fun (if not more!) in this jolly journey right here at DMC! 

*We would also like to credit and say a huge thank you to all the awesome people who appeared in the videos, from DMC 04'11/12! )*

Truck loads of love,

DMC, where you find out who you are.

Hello DMC enthusiasts!

DMC offers a broad spectrum of modules that cover almost all the aspects of marketing communication. This is great for mastering the complete gamut of marketing communication but it can also lead to uncertainty about what exactly you want to do.

After all, many a times in life, we are all confused about just what we want to do in life exactly right?

But fret not because we may have just what you need to help you decide who you are! Just take our personality test and you might have a clearer stance of who you are in DMC!

PERSONALITY TEST:

Found out who you are? Now you know just what you should focus on and which modules you will be more interested in. This personality test might even help you decide on which practicum you want to take up in Year 3!

Now for those of you, who could not decide on just one end point of the personality test, don’t be anxious! We all know that most of us are a mixture of different personalities.

Perhaps you’re a mixture of a designer and a writer? This could mean you are more inclined towards writing for a fashion magazine!

Or maybe you are a blend of an analyst and communication personnel? This just means you can do your own research and pitch it yourself!

Share with us your results whether at facebook.com/spmediacomm or tweet us at @CassyDMC, or if you have a blogger account, give us a comment here! The point is sometimes you may not know exactly who you are in life, but that doesn’t mean you are not just as special as the others. With a little bit of time and practice, you will find out right here at DMC.

The place where you can create all your stories.

From your Guardians of DMC,

Amirah and Razinah. 

CAMPIFYME!: THE CASS FOC FROM A DMC P.O.V

In the faculty of Communications, Arts and Social Sciences (CASS), our diploma (obviously I’m talking about the Diploma in Media and Communications, why else would you be here if it were about something else?) is the largest in terms of size, sprawling across five classes, when most of the other courses in CASS have only two. So, the CASS Freshmen Orientation Camp (FOC) would be a good way to get to know some of your peers before you start school. Also, having a familiar face around when poly starts (like literally, on the first day) would definitely help you ease into the curriculum and grind of poly life better!

Don’t friends always make anything/everything better?

Drawing from our past two and upcoming third experience of being in the CASS FOC, we can safely say that the people you meet from camp are a bunch that will stay with you throughout your three years! Out of the eight other people that were our camp group, there were three of us who were in the same class and till today, we were in the same groups for projects and we have been pretty close ever since then!

(Taking a step back, we realize that we might like overly enthusiastic camp goers, so to those objective minds out there, we sound slightly biased. We probably are!)

Hence, to bring the opinion level and objectivity to a balance, let us bring in bunch of other people into the picture! I’m gonna let them relay to you, their experiences of being in CASS FOC from a DMC kids perspective:

Here is what they have to say!

Charmian Tan

Year 3 DMC Student, President of CASS Club for AY 2011/12

"From attending the camp when I was freshman to planning it eventually, CASS FOC was always the one thing that made my poly life memorable. It makes you feel like you're part of something bigger. Go!”

Clara Lim

Year 1 DMC Student, took part in CASS FOC 2012/13

"Each time the song "I'm Glad You Came" plays on the radio airwaves, the memories I made in FOC2012 flashes. That song was literally the song of our camp, I pretty much glad I went to the FOC2012 and I enjoyed every bit of it especially the night walk.”

Rossyazzellinna Murniattie Zaihanie                                                                                                                                    Year 2 DMC Student. Camp Chief for FOC (Freshmen Orientation Camp) 2013/14

“Camps are the time to let loose and just be ourselves and that is why I enjoy being part of camps. Come for 2013’s FOC if you’re looking for fun and a once in a lifetime experience right before you officially become a poly student!”

Carissa Ho

Year 1 DMC Student. Logistics In-Charge for FOC 2013/14

“FOC was FUN and I to think had actually contemplated whether I should go for it or not. It is the best camp I’ve been to! The seniors are friendly and I have also made a lot of friends from it. If I could do it all over again, I would without any hesitation.”

Also, if you are already selected for DMC and have plans to come for the CASS FOC, here are just three friendly tips you might wanna heed:

1. It’s a new chapter in your life, so why not let's just start afresh! Be who you want to be but at the same time, keep it real. 

[False guises don’t really last long cause in DMC, we all kind of have a knack for digging up dirt. ;)]

2. Don’t judge anyone by anything, especially in DMC. We are a real quirky bunch, composed of people from the whole of the social spectrum! Open your thoughts and more importantly, your heart.

(Not literally though, that would be slightly IMH-worthy.)

3.  It's definitely going to be scary, thinking about how you are coming to the camp alone and how you barely know anyone there, but hey; take faith in the fact that the person next to you is probably feeling something similar. Use that to make a connection! (We are all underdogs, and underdogs rule!)

Also, you might be wondering who is actually crafting out this whole post that you have just read.

(Well not really, I might have actually just popped that idea into your head…)

Before we end and reveal our identities, let us just say, that you should feel free to hit us up if you do end up coming to the CASS FOC 2013/14 ;)

WE’RE KIDDING!

(No seriously, we are, please don’t hit us up, we’ll get hit down by our lecturers!)

  

Follow us at @SPCASSBLUB or add us on Facebook at facebook.com/SPcassclub to check out our latest updates on the camp.
We hope to see you at this years’ CASS Freshmen Orientation Camp!

With love,

Edmund and Gabriel.
