School of Film & Media Studies

FSV gave me the tools to transform thoughts and ideas into moving images which was exhilarating for a wide-eyed teenager who had just graduated from secondary school. We watched movies, learned from them and then picked up the camera and made our own! It’s not only a school to receive an education, it’s a place where dreams can be realised.

MCM is a safe haven for creative and unconventional minds. It was the place where I discovered that creativity was incredibly powerful, especially if you attained the skills and craft to apply it in the real world. There is no better place to learn these skills, which has served me well throughout my advertising career, all around the world.

FMS has provided me the foundation of communications which has opened up so many opportunities in the workplace, even after I pivoted to sustainability. It’s allowed me to communicate environmental and social issues in ways that different audiences can understand and care about. Whether I’m speaking to colleagues or community partners, the ability to connect, listen and speak with purpose is something I lean on every day. 

As the pioneer in Extended Reality (XR) and In-Camera Visual Effects (ICVFX) for virtual production, we have seen the technology grow by leaps and bounds. There is no better time than now to promote and train future talents in this new technology. Virtual production will be a pillar in the next decade for not just the filmmaking sector but also broadcast, media and entertainment industries. Together with NP, we are excited to grow the virtual production industry for the next generation.

By working with Ngee Ann Polytechnic to deliver courses that are core to the current and future needs of the media sector, I am confident that we will build a strong pipeline of industry-ready graduates with the right skill sets to enter and excel in the broader media ecosystem, including fulfilling careers at Mediacorp.

Honour (Singapore) is happy to support the work of young and aspiring filmmakers from NP. I am both impressed and encouraged by how they have been able to imagine the practice of Honour in so many different situations in life. This shows their understanding and commitment in building a worthy future for themselves and for Singapore.

I’ve enjoyed working with the students from the Advanced Radio module for the last few years. Apart from their creativity, the broad-based training they’ve received also enables them to think beyond the radio show to consider different aspects, such as the marketing of the programme.

I am always impressed by the FSV students who intern with us. Besides having the skills that allow them to hit the ground running, they are attuned to the latest trends and developments in the media landscape, often injecting fresh perspectives into the creative process.

The students whom I worked with really exceeded expectations by constantly going out of their comfort zones to produce very interesting and high-quality podcasts. They showed maturity and courage in tackling challenging topics ranging from relationship abuse to the changes in society, and demonstrated keen understanding of the assignments.
