I2F is a very meaningful event for me.

1. I found out that I am not a very good emcee. I made quite a few mistakes even reading from the script. I should also try to cut down reading and add in more improvision. I also need to have more confidence and eye contact with the audience

2. I have a broader vision especially when vetting proposals. Sometimes I could not really see the potential problems

3. I need to put in even more effort in dance. Many people from the audience can notice my failed attempt lol

- bro icl I honestl like legit damn proud of yall, esp the i2f ot cus I really see yall learn q a lot and improve throughout the planning phase, uk like for example from the script having tianze and I enact a scene where we were "stuck" to like a really legitimate convo abd seeing yall communicate ideas in the chat was quite nice

- i would say its a learning process for me as well cus its my first time, our first time being heads of a faculty too so like the pressure and stress is there la cus we are the image of our fc and us together are the image of our whole fac

- i think some mental notes that i would have for myself is to firstly, lower my expectations for the crowd la icl like i cant expect us to be vv rah rah also in terms of energy so i need to learn to be the one giving it out also

- next thing that i think i can do better next time is to not be so quick to shoot down ideas. Ik some ideas like the shouting one was super unfeasible in terms of the artemis dynamics and like trying to act out ourselves getting stuck is also gonna be damn huge of a challenge but i think i also need to learn to take more risks la tbh even tho we need to strike a balance.

- learning to emcee

Given the importance, time constraints, and unfamiliarity of this event, I had to resort to convergent thinking and probably too assertive as an OICs. I made certain decisions without checking with the personal involved (the initial engagements (hit the decibels), not involving the rest of OTs early on, having Jiayao do the merch + fac collab part although she was having APYLS

, the costumes for PUBs and STs, slide template, Tanghulu, the British accent XD, and the parts of the script). I think much of them were resolved but I should've check with them before planning it instead of the other way around. Surprisingly, communication went quite well in general. There were hiccups initially, but after a wake up call from FHs it gotten better (stuff with ardent and tech hub is a bit tuff though). We were stuck at ideation for the engagement quite a long time. Despite getting the general gist of what we're supposed to do (pigeon hole theory, 🙀) we can't quite pinpointed the exact thing we want to do or what the activity would look like from the students POV.

In my head, the engagements can be better but the 2 were the best that we had. I tried not to shoot them down even though my gut said otherwise (my attempt to curb up my micromanagement). I trust that it will work but I wasn't convince (overall, that's the point of trust) that's why i tried my best not the be the key personal of both the events. It was simple, if i can't sell the idea to myself, i could never sell it the rest of Artemisians. But i think it works out pretty well and it teaches me something through that very decision.

From planning this event, I would like to believe that usually, it is better to scrap a well planned idea than trying to fix and force something that are not meant to be there. The initial idea was 'connecting different costumes up with a storyline' it's prolly would not work as well if we persist with it. I learned to let go of things and surprisingly, it took way shorter to cook up a new set of proposal after version 1 (which receive a bunch of feedback to change from the teachers)

didnt rlly do much but i really enjoyed the whole process

from an external pov the comms to fc were q good so i had adequate dancing prac

really enjoyed the time on stage lol

cld hv clarified more stuff before the day itself --> i thought i knew what was gg on but i didnt fully

cld hv noticed and helped make the dry run more efficient

For me, I think one area of improvement that I should work on is making filming more efficient. I arranged for filming and photoshoot sessions on 4 separate days with different groups of people as I thought it would be the most effective method given everyone's busy schedules. However, this might caused some inconvenience to Studio Ardent ExCo, who had to loan filming equipment to me during these sessions. Additionally, there were many moments when some of the actors had nothing to do while waiting for me to film some of the scenes. Moving forward, I plan to recruit Lecia and Tianze to help me with the filming so that multiple scenes can be filmed at the same time. Additionally, I will try to arrange for all the filming to be held in one long session for convenience.

In terms of performing on stage, I think I could have done better if I had practiced the dance a bit more. I noticed I lagged behind a bit during some parts of the dance, which could have been avoided if I was more familiar with the choreography.

imo i feel like we got off on the right foot with the first fac event of our term!

ifl i could have helped the ot a bit more (esp chloe bc she really tanked the filming by herself and i couldve offered my help more)

need to check weather forecast before filming 😅

need to be more confident when doing emceeing because i kept looking at/asking lucas if we were done or if we should continue

ik it was hard to find a time but i feel like for future events we def need more than 1 dry run/full dress rehearsal especially for larger scale events like fac brunch and fac event

still overall damn proud of everyone! love u all 🥰🥰

Even though I didn’t have lines, I should have studied other people’s lines more so that I know what is going on + be more clear on the general flow of events

I should have started on the IG post earlier as I underestimated how busy I would be with other things 😅 Happy with how it turned out though :)

Dance pracs were soooo fun and the sessions were communicated well GOODJOB GUYS

# data[].attributes.body
Super super fun!! And I think it rlly contributed to facomm bonding as well

Really grateful to i2f ics for tanking the more basic pubs (slides etc) cos pubbies were really overworked during that period HAAHA

Honestly so happy and proud of the dance I think the dance ics did a fantastic job!!

On my part I should have trusted myself to memorise the script to I wouldn’t have to go on stage with my phone

Probably could have taken the initiative to help with more pubs + keep myself more updated with the video filming

I think that day we really pushed through in trying to hype up the crowd even though they were damn sian alrd which is great!!

(actual practical stuff)

First event→ at the start everyone dk what to do and the loop of convo may be a bit off it has been stuck between me and bunnath for quite some time before everyone is in the loop

Our first draft was such a flop especially the first script… Im sorry

Communication again

I see a lot of like we be like “lets think about it” and one day later person A came up with a whole plan and person B says okay instead of actually discussing it through → lowkey caused problems at the back

But communication got better and better along the way like i fr feel it

Should have start looking at pubs work earlier now we a bit overworking them

Maybe should have a simpler teaser + opening vid? Took v long to shoot them although results is AMAZING but idk how many people actually have an impression of it

(NOT RLY A POINT TO MAKE) maybe try to take intro pics outdoors if possible and pray to the god of rain and ask them to stop raining on filming days and check weather forecast too 🙏

Maybe should have utilise hall booking to dry run instead of dance

Our dance is very well done I think we may win pop

I thought without full run we will a bit cmi but actually not that bad, will still be good with an actual full run tho

Will be good if we can be more used to being on stage, be more natural and stuff

Finishing I2F is crazy and I am really happy to see us pulling off the whole thing

(now is feelings part)

First big event i ever planned omg this is insane but i feel so accomplished afterwards

Having the whole fac in the hall is emptier than expected, no need be scared artemisians are funny

Bainaruoshui is goated he makes the games not flop

Dancing on stage in front of my classmates make me wanna end myself a little but I actually love their reactions like I'm so appreciative of this class eih

Sense of accomplishment is crazy and we really bonded through the process too

# data[].attributes.body
honestly i feel very bad for missing out it seemed like a lot of fun

even tho i wasn’t there in body i was still there in spirit, and like from the few dance practices that i’ve attended to seeing the progress that we’ve made, i’m very proud of you guys.

from what i heard from my classmates, the event was well executed and even though the crowd was sometimes a little mild, they told me it was fun and enjoyable. plus, they also spammed pictures of me in the i2f LOL which at the very least shows they were listening and like having fun.

# data[].attributes.body
I2F helped make me realise just how inexperienced and unprepared I am for certain elements of student engagement. Not only am I unacquainted with the art of stage presence lol, I'm also unsure about what the student body needs/wants to see from us, and has invoked deep thoughts in me about what Fac Brunch should do, since that's the event I'm OIC-ing this year.

I2F has made me realise just how short our FC term can be, and it has pressured me to think of how this term can be better used so that it's short and sweet. From the introduction of our Faccom to our step-down, we barely have a few months for preparation and execution when exams are taken into consideration, and as such, I hope to leave FC with minimal regrets

One of my character flaws is a lack of trust in working partners, and I think that through the process of I2F I've learnt to trust FC members more and depend on them

Also I've learnt more dance moves to put in the bag JAHAHAHA
