Varun's favourite movie. heh heh
so how's school for everyone?
i'm going to be applying for my unis soon.... probably going to put RMIT first. then JMC and VCA Prod followed by VCA Film and TV. though putting VCA last is just like putting RI as your last choice. elite school that looks at 1st option entries.. surely won't get in one.
RMIT: Bachelor in Communications (Media)
- Pros: Recognises Ngee Ann. Cheaper. about 5k/year. Fixed 1 and a half year course.
- Cons: Won't be learning much new things. Equipment is barely standard only. They are not even doing 5.1 Surround Sound. Will not be really specialising in any sound aspect apart from what projects we work on.
- Conclusion: Doing this course is Cost-Time-Effort the easiest way for me to get a degree.
JMC Academy: Bachelor in Audio Engineering
- Pros: Private Uni. Facility and Equipment is top notch. Active work experience in the surrounding commercial studios as part of course. May get cut down up to 2 years depending on specific modular arrangement. Really get indepth in understanding protools and sound recording and all the other sound aspects.
- Cons: Expensive. 13k+/year. Working while studying won't sustain me. Deg just got recognised by Aust Govt. So probably no recognition in Singapore.
- Conclusion: Most ideal course to learn the exact art of sound. but Cost-Time-Effort doesn't work out coz simply put, we can't afford it unless i haev a larger lump sum already and i'm not going to ask my father. also not being well known in Singapore is a minus point.
VCA production: Bachelor in Production
- Pros: goes back to my roots on how i started in this industry. very interesting. stage work mostly. life sound recording and broadcast blah blah. seemingly flexible course. VCA is also very well recognised throughout the world. Very hands on.
- Cons: Elitist intake. no cutting down of years. Small intake, expensive course suggest high quality but its a con for me coz of extra effort needed to get in. Cost/yr uncertain.
- Conclusion: Probably won't get in lah.
VCA Film and TV: Bachelor in Film and Television
- Pros: Best deg in australia to get in my line of work. Work is substantial. work on 3 16mm and 3 videos in the 3 year course.
- Cons: Concentrates more on story telling than on technical work. Elitist intake. no cutting down of years. Small intake, expensive course suggest high quality but its a con for me coz of extra effort needed to get in. Cost/yr uncertain.
- Conclusion: Probably won't get in anyway... and may not be able to afford it.

VCA production seems like the best choice should money allow and to get in, in terms of actual learning and pride in learning new stuff. The RMIT things according to u is a repeat of the poly days, so is it really worth the time(different from worth the paper)...
yah lor... exactly. VCA quite unlikely to get in... its coveted by aussies and foreigners alike.. and i think coz of the cost i'm going for just the paper. money was/is going to play a big part in things... llst really.
maybe you could take up the 'poppy for money' scheme offered by the junta government.
What happens is that they allocate a plot of land near your area, you go there and grow these plants they want and when they mature fully, you harvest them and sell it in your domestic market.
I guess you could look at it more as like a gardening kind of hobby rather then work...
yeah.. my mum would like that.. but there're water restrictions. cannot water your garden, 4 min showers... blah blah...
