Officer Cadet School
Media
During my National Service, I served as an Admin Specialist, overseeing Regimentation & Discipline and Manpoweroperations. In addition to my core responsibilities, I was appointed as the Media IC for the Officer Cadet School (OCS), where I managed various media initiatives to support the institution’s communications and engagement efforts.
As Media IC, I was responsible for managing OCS’s social media platforms, ensuring content was strategically curated and aligned with key events. I also undertook photography and videography duties, covering major milestones such as Total Defence Day and the Commissioning Parade, documenting these significant occasions with high-quality visual storytelling.
Beyond event coverage, I contributed to the production of official digital assets, including a montage for the Change of Appointment Ceremony of COL Alvin Tjioe, capturing the transition in leadership with a compelling visual narrative. Additionally, I co-directed the SAFTI Corporate Video, a production designed to highlight the institute’s heritage and role in officer training, reinforcing its mission through impactful storytelling.
I also refined the series for the Sword of Honour Interview beginning from the batch of 134/23 Officer Cadet Course, enhancing its presentation to make it more engaging and captivating for viewers. This effort involved editing the content to highlight the significance of the interviews and improve viewer experience, making it more dynamic and aligned with the audience's interests.
Furthermore, I assisted in adding motion graphics (mograph) animations into the graduation video, enhancing its visual appeal and creating an impactful viewing experience for the audience. These animations helped convey the emotional significance of the moment, making the graduation video more memorable and resonant.
To ensure consistency in OCS’s branding, I developed a comprehensive style guide, defining key visual elements to maintain a cohesive look and feel across all official communications. This guide served as a reference for future media projects, reinforcing the institute’s professional and authoritative presence.
This role allowed me to integrate my expertise in media production with organizational operations, strengthening my ability to manage high-profile communications while contributing to the institution’s outreach and legacy.
