I think the ideology of innovation is naturally part of us. Society is constantly identifying problems and crafting the proper solution to more forward. Likewise, in film industries, there will always be limitations. Be it in pre-production (e.g. Writing scripts,  Casting, etc), production and post-production (e.g. Editing, animation, etc). Innovation is essential in the film industry because it's important to evolve how we tell stories - to make it more immersive, entertaining and exciting. Not to mention, the sky is the limit for innovation. There is no real way of knowing what is the next revolutionary thing that will emerge in the film industry.

Innovation can help me develop my critical and creative thinking in solving problems and creating the best possible solution in a systematic and efficient manner. I can make use of many different approach to a thought provoking-situation and come out with possible solutions as to how to overcome the problem or to improve myself. And at the end of the day, even if I do not come up with the best solution, I still learn from the experience and be better innovators myself. It's a ideology of trial and error, self-improvement and working towards a better future.

Here is an example of innovation, specifically advancements in technology, that has helped improve the film industry as a whole: https://www.wired.com/insights/2015/01/how-tech-shaped-film-making/

In media post-production we learn about producting videos, visual effects, sound and so on. The media industry to this day is rapidly changing and innovation is very crucial to us because we have to constantly up our game with the changes in technology. With more software and hardware to use, the media industry have to be constantly putting up good quality production such as videos shot in 4k etc. If we do not continue coming up with new innovation, people will not feel interested or motivated to watch the media which is constantly the same.

This is an example of artificial intelligence changing the process of video editing:

Innovation is important to the media industry as the media industry is ever-changing, in terms of its content, production, and broadcast. In order to cater to the newer audiences, the media industry has to come up with new ways to engage its audiences. For example, newspapers are starting to become obsolete due to the advancements in technology. This is one way the media industry makes use of technological advancements to stay relevant. In media post production, one example would be the use of CG. This allows for filmmakers to create realistic characters on screen such as monsters, invoking fear in the audiences because of how uncannily realistic they look. This makes more people want to indulge themselves in film because of the experience they provide. If these innovations did not exist, they will become outdated media.

Here is an example of how media is going to change in the future to cater to Gen Z, a generation that is all about technology and crave interaction.

a Diploma in Film, Sound, & Video

Innovation is the natural progression to anything we do, and film is no exception. Thus, even in my diploma, it is important for me to have an innovative mind to help me create new ideas to more effectively tell my stories. For example, many stories that are an inspiration to famous films come in the form of retelling past events in a a more glamorous, cinematic fashion. However, at times this is hard to do as locations etc have changed over time, thus, employing innovation in this situation is key to more accurately portray time pieces.

For example, the film 'They Shall Not Grow Old' is a film that was made from real footage shot during the war, and the process of converting the film to digital video required the filmmaker to innovate an entirely new process of converting film to digital video, including digitally colouring the footage, artificially correcting the framerates, etc.

Innovation is related to my course as in an industry where new ideas have to constantly be brought up to keep people interested. Where there are so many many companies and artists are trying their hardest to make a name for themselves. Sometimes, it’s the smallest innovations and sparks of creativity that make you stand out from the rest. It is that easy to become forgotten over time. But using just a new unique editing style, a captivating storyline or with eye catching colour schemes; which all require innovation. It’s the little things that make that much of a difference to your work.

A simple example is of course the popular social media platform Instagram. By constantly adding new filters as well as allowing anyone to create their own filters to add to the popular story feature, it is still one of the few social media platforms that have maintained it’s popularity over time.

Here is an article that discusses how filters are used in many different ways to attract all kinds of people to use the feature, which demands first downloading the app: https://www.google.com.sg/amp/s/www.standard.co.uk/tech/instagram-filters-disney-2020-resolutions-trend-where-next-a4342366.html%3famp

Innovation is key in the industry, some of us look at the videos and don’t really think about what goes behind the videos. Inside a video there is many things planned and executed. In a pre-production phase, storyboarding and location scouting are done and then it goes into a production phase, where the team comes together and shoot for the video. And lastly, going to post-production which is the last phase, where everything comes together to make a video. All these uses data, and everyone is aware how much space a high quality video would take up, and in this COVID-19 situation, its harder to pass data physically, which means we need to pass the data virtually, and this leads to many issues such as data privacy, speed of transfer and online storage space as well

Innovation is important in the film industry as with the help of more developed technology and equipments, it makes their jobs easier and more efficient. An example would be the progress from physically pulling film stocks by hand to digital filmmaking breakthroughs. It has seemingly been more convenient but with more innovation I feel that it would save more time (for eg. manual editing) and the product that comes out would also be similar to that of manual editing which definitely shows that it is more beneficial to rely on technologies since the results are almost the same.

Distribution of meals at The Salvation Army's Peacehaven Nursing Home used to be a strenuous task for senior staff nurse Thomas Jeena and her colleagues.

They spent about 80 minutes a day collecting meals at the kitchen and manoeuvring heavy trolleys over uneven floors before the food reached the 380 residents.

But all that changed one year ago when the home bought two automated guided vehicles (AGVs) to distribute meals in a safer and more efficient manner.

"Food can be served earlier to the residents and we can spend more time with them," said Ms Jeena, 44.

The AGVs have also replaced some of Peacehaven's outsourced manpower for kitchen tasks, enabling the home to save about $12,000 a month on salaries.

The vehicles were officially launched on Tuesday after a one-year trial as part of a national drive to get nursing homes to automate and use technology more effectively.

Peacehaven, in Upper Changi Road, is currently the only nursing home in Singapore that uses such technology.

BETTER USE OF TIME
Food can be served earlier to the residents and we can spend more time with them.
SENIOR STAFF NURSE THOMAS JEENA, on how residents benefit from the automated guided vehicles.

Each AGV, which has a trolley, is wirelessly operated by a tablet control panel.

The vehicle has built-in sensors and 3D cameras, allowing it to detect its programmed route via magnetic strips installed across the three-storey home. It uses this system to detect its destinations, where it stops for staff to load or unload the trolley.

According to Peacehaven, the machines automatically navigate around obstacles and can brake firmly even on slopes. Should a Wi-Fi breakdown occur, trolleys can be detached from the AGVs and manually manoeuvred without disrupting meal schedules.

Besides the four meal distributions each day, the home will also be using the AGVs - each with a high load capacity of 300kg - to transport logistical supplies once a week.

The AGVs cost $220,000, which was heavily funded by the Healthcare Productivity Fund and Community Silver Trust, administered by the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC).

Mr Tan Kwang Cheak, chief executive of AIC, was guest of honour at the launch.

Madam Low Mui Lang, executive director of Peacehaven Nursing Home, said: "When we adopt a system, we have to adopt a system that is safe and follows regulations."

She hopes to minimise the occurrence of workplace incidents and injuries, adding that the technology will also benefit the nursing home's efforts in recruiting and retaining older staff.

With the time saved, staff will be able to provide more personalised care for the residents, improving their quality of life, she added.

Innovation is related to my diploma because as an engineer, not only do we just fix and do maintenance but we also have to be innovative and creative by always coming out with new idea or product to change the world or meet the user's need.
It matters in my industry because nowadays company are looking for engineers with new skills requirement. They always want to develop something new that never have been done before.
For example, here the example of an driverless electric bus launched by NTU. Not only is it driverless but it is also electric. This can help to save the earth instead of using petrol which is more harmful to the environment.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
SINGAPORE - Road users near Nanyang Technological University (NTU) could see a self-driving bus on the road later this year, as autonomous vehicles edge closer to becoming a viable form of transport.

NTU and Swedish firm Volvo have launched a 12m-long autonomous electric bus, which they say is the world's first.

The bus, which can fit about 80 people, has gone through multiple tests at the Centre of Excellence for Testing and Research of Autonomous Vehicles - NTU (Cetran), and is now ready for tests in actual traffic conditions.

It is able to travel 25km on a full charge. Through a 300kW fast charge system from engineering giant ABB, the bus can be charged to full capacity within six minutes.

At an event unveiling the bus on Tuesday (March 5) at Cetran, NTU president Subra Suresh said: "This fully autonomous electric bus will play a role in shaping the future of public transportation that is safe, efficient, reliable and comfortable for all commuters.

"This research project not only involves cutting-edge science, technology and artificial intelligence, but is also an excellent example of close partnership among academia, industry and government agencies in translating basic research into products and services for the benefit of Singapore and beyond."

Mr Lam Wee Shann, chief innovation and technology officer at the Land Transport Authority (LTA), said the launch of the bus for on-road trials marks an "important milestone" in the joint project between LTA and NTU to develop autonomous buses for fixed route and scheduled services.

The partnership was previously announced in October 2016.

"(The autonomous bus) is in line with Singapore's vision of deploying autonomous vehicles to improve accessibility and connectivity for commuters," he said.

"We will continue to work closely with NTU to facilitate the safe and robust testing of the autonomous vehicles."

The bus is equipped with Global Positioning System antennas, lidar (light detection and ranging) sensors and stereo-vision cameras that record a three-dimensional view of the surroundings.

Inputs from these sensors are combined and managed by an artificial intelligence system developed by a 23-man team at NTU.

The system then determines the bus' position to as accurate as 1cm of its actual location.

This platform is built into a 2m-tall container that is placed in the bus and is protected with cyber-security measures.

NTU's Energy Research Institute executive director Subodh Mhaisalkar said the bus is classified to have near Level 4 autonomy.

Level 4 is when a vehicle can drive by itself but is still manned, while Level 5 is the highest level of autonomy when the vehicle can operate on its own with no one on board.

To reach full Level 4 autonomy, the bus will have to be tested in residential areas and in mixed traffic conditions with other vehicles.

Prof Subodh said the mixed traffic demonstration will be done on the NTU campus later this year, and plans are in place to extend the tests to the route between the university and the nearby Pioneer MRT station.

There are two such buses, which were provided by Volvo in 2018 as part of a partnership with NTU.

The on-the-road trials will start later this year, with one bus to be tested at the university without any passenger pick-ups.

The other bus will be trialled at an SMRT depot to check if it can navigate itself into washing bays and park at charging stations.

One goal for the NTU-Volvo team is to be one of the successful tenderers for the Government's plans to have autonomous vehicles in Punggol, Tengah and the Jurong Innovation District from 2022 for commuter use.

Prof Subodh said the team is excited about the potential of the NTU-developed platform.

"It's a platform technology that could be used for other types of vehicles... Potentially, it could also be used for transportation on the sea," he added.

"This is a platform that will catalyse other autonomous applications."
