Communication Skills Videos - Just for fun!

A collection of some videos created by students for their communication skills class. Just for laughs and some entertainment! :)

Handling Friendships



There are 2 parts to this conflict management clip - the negative and positive "version". Packaged in a "news flash" style hosted by Chersy, it describes 3 scenarios between a "blur" Serene, her "new and innocent" friend Elene and the "schizophrenic" Liling. Liling transformed from the super negative to the super positive friend in this clip. I must say that these folks put up quite an entertaining clip with touches of Singlish and "almost forget script" moments. So what's the takeaway? Well, the clip reminds us that with the right words and attitude, we can co-create a different and positive outcome with those we interact with - our friends and loved ones.

Majority Rule?



Majority Rules! In this clip, Chee Kit had this "unique" idea but it was rejected. So, he is obviously not happy. A hair pulling and punching scene ensued, with a majority rule outcome. Employing time freeze, slow motion actions and fast-forward speech, coupled with a dash of exaggerated speech and slanging, this short funny clip probably would bring on a couple of smiles or giggles from its viewer. Done by Grace, Cheekit, Jacque & Sally. Now, what if Chee Kit's idea was indeed better, but was overruled by the majority? *Ponder*

The Life of Benjamin



This story revolves around this character Benjamin and the fairy Godmother travelling back through time to see how his terrible and cocky attitude has caused him to lose his wife, job and even his friends. And what's the solution for this impenitent brat? A TIGHT SLAP from the fairy Godmother! That somehow did the trick and Benjamin recovered all that he lost and is once again a happy man. Hey, what's a "red bull beer" that Benjamin ordered during the drinking scene in the clip?? Lolz.. Enjoy.

The Muru Teamwork Magic



Muru is a talented but self-centered and proud player in his soccer team. As a result, his team missed many scoring opportunities because of his 'solo play' attitude. The conflict escalated into a tussle in the dressing room. As the story developed, Muru came to realise the value of teamwork, and became a firm believer of "working as a team". Hear the high-pitch whine in the ear pulling scene and the drumbeat-drenched kungfu sequence before the final game starts. :)

Featuring Muru, Mark, Jun Long, Tan Liang, Naz and Yat. [Editor's note: The original video was cut down to the 10mins limitation of Youtube...]

Health warning: This clip contains motion pictures which may induce vertigo in some viewers. :P
