The PROSECCO network (an EC-funded project for the PROmotion of the Scientific Exploration of Computational Creativity) is organizing a computational creativity code camp in Coimbra, Portugal (January 12-15, 2015). This presentation introduces the challenge that participants will address in groups: build a creative Twitterbot that can generate its own interesting micro-fiction using a large knowedge-base of facts about real historical people and fictional characters. Computational Creativity is the scientific study of the creative potential of machines: to determine whether machines can indeed be creative, it aims to build generative machines and programs that exhibit human-scale creativity.

This document discusses different genres of films including action/adventure, romance, horror, science fiction/fantasy, and comedies. It provides conventions for action/adventure films such as exotic locations, a quest or treasure, love interests, and believable characters. Horror film conventions include stereotypical settings, monster sounds, weapons/blood, and character archetypes. Romance genres focus on love stories and relationships, typically featuring a forbidden or disapproved relationship, miscommunication between couples, and strong female characters. The document notes the filmmakers chose to make a romance genre film focusing on the loss of a childhood friendship and reconnecting later in life.
Movie
The document categorizes and provides examples of different movie genres including romantic comedies like Music and Lyrics which involve two people from different worlds overcoming obstacles to be together, period dramas like King Arthur about people falling in love and making big life decisions, and sci-fi films like Avatar set in the future or space that explore life's meaning. Other genres mentioned are horror movies like Scream that use fear to excite audiences through scares, action movies like G.I. Joe with exciting stunts and chases pitting good vs bad, and adventure films like Pirates of the Caribbean featuring heroes on quests. Musicals are also
The Creative Process
This document discusses the creative process of scriptwriting. It explains that the scriptwriter writes the foundation for the film and that every film or TV program falls under a specific genre that sells to audiences. Some current popular genres include horror, romance, comedy, and fantasy. A good story has compelling characters, conflict, and something at stake that characters want or are working towards. An effective scriptwriter comes up with big story concepts or "what if" scenarios and translates them into a workable storyline outline that follows a plot pattern and considers elements like scene count and character development. Creativity is an essential skill for scriptwriters to generate new ideas and stories.
Working With Genres
The document discusses genres and how they are created. It provides examples of common story genres like quests, voyages, comedies and tragedies. It also summarizes some rules of crime fiction according to authors like Agatha Christie and Raymond Chandler, such as the detective not knowing more than the reader. The document questions whether to obey genre rules or challenge them, and closes by thanking the audience.
My pitch copy
A mental hospital is attacked by a murderer who hates the mentally disabled. The staff are killed and the patients must work together to defeat the murderer and escape. The main character is Daniel Myers, a small, weak man with schizophrenia who would be played by Jesse Eisenberg. The killer is a large, strong man whose face is covered for most of the movie, and would be played by Rory McCann. Guillermo Del Toro would direct to add layers of fear from the characters' hallucinations. The target audience is 18-25 year olds interested in slasher films. The isolated filming location in Scotland adds to the fear of being cut off with no escape in the cold weather.
Filmtheory
This document provides a summary and analysis of the films The Hangover and Bridesmaids. It examines how the films portray gender through the use of stereotypes, the male gaze in directing choices, and dichotomies between female rivalry vs. male camaraderie. Specific scenes are analyzed that depict sex as awkward for women but idealized for men's viewing pleasure, and how characters are judged by their relationship to motherhood or defined as "frigid" or "hooker". Racial stereotypes in The Hangover are also discussed.

Films codes and conventions
This document discusses the codes and conventions of different film and television genres including fantasy swashbuckler films like Pirates of the Caribbean, superhero films like The Dark Knight Rises and Avengers, romantic comedies like Norbit, American sitcoms like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, British television dramas like Waterloo Road, soap operas like EastEnders, and reality television shows like The Only Way is Essex. It provides lists of elements common to each genre such as special effects, good vs evil narratives, relatable characters, comedic themes, school settings, character storylines, and factual unscripted content.
Sci fi Representation
This document discusses representation in science fiction films. It begins by defining representation and noting that all representations reflect biases. It then examines common character types in science fiction films, such as heroes, victims, and authorities. Two film trailers are analyzed for examples of these characters. The document also discusses how stereotypes are often used as shortcuts but can promote oversimplified or biased views. It provides examples of countertypes that challenge stereotypes. Finally, it considers how gender is commonly represented in films and posters, often reinforcing unrealistic ideals of masculinity and femininity. The key ideas are that science fiction frequently relies on stereotypes and biased representations that could influence viewers' perceptions of normality.

Here are 3 potential questions you could ask about the type of movie:
1. What is it about this genre that appeals to you?
2. Who is your favorite director or actor known for this genre?
3. What elements like story, visuals, music make it so enjoyable to watch?
Codes and conventions of Slashers
Slashers typically involve a psychotic masked killer who murders a group of people before focusing on a final girl. Characteristics of the final girl include being a virgin who avoids drugs and alcohol. The first girl to die is usually an attractive blonde who engages in risky sexual behavior. The killer is often unstoppable and masked with an unknown backstory. Locations involve isolated areas like woods, houses, and summer camps. Common weapons are knives and power tools. German Expressionist techniques like unrealistic sets and shadows influenced the atmosphere of slashers.
Irony 1
This document defines and provides examples of different types of irony: dramatic irony which involves the audience knowing something a character does not; situational irony which involves unexpected coincidences or contradictions of what is expected; and verbal irony which uses words to express something different than their literal meaning through sarcasm.

Horror Sub Genres
This is my horror sub-genres power point. By clicking on the images, it will direct you to the youtube video appropriate.
Classification
Genre is important for films in three key ways: 1) It allows film companies to effectively market and advertise films by targeting conventions of that genre, such as advertising horror films with dark imagery around Halloween. 2) Genre provides audience members an understanding of what to expect in terms of conventions and story. 3) Having a clear genre helps film producers understand their target audience and increase the likelihood of profit by marketing the film to that audience.
Genre and Age Restrictions UNFINISHED
Genre is an important categorization tool that helps target audiences and influences marketing and conventions. It groups similar works together by subject matter, style, or form. This creates a target audience and makes it easier to advertise to them. Genre also provides conventions for creators to follow within that category. Examples of common genres and their conventions are given such as westerns featuring horses, cowboys, and guns or horror featuring blood, death, and screaming. The British Board of Film Classification system is also overviewed which rates films based on their content and appropriate age groups.
media Stereotypes
This document analyzes the portrayal of gender in stalker thriller films. It notes that typically in these films, the female protagonist is presented as vulnerable and weak compared to the male antagonist. The filmmakers of this discussed thriller also portrayed the female character as vulnerable in order to conform to this stereotype of male dominance. However, they realized their stalker character, who is young with a different ethnicity than typical stalkers, challenges some stereotypes around the portrayal of stalkers in other films which usually depict white, middle-aged males.
Potential ideas for my final major production
The document outlines plans for a book series called "The Target Zone" centered around a character named Steve Target. The first book, called "Blood Moon," would be set in 1980s York and involve Steve investigating a secret organization with his friends. It would incorporate genres like mystery, adventure, and romance and explore themes of friendship, bullying, and questioning what is morally right. The document provides details on characters, locations, plot points and story structure for the first book.
Sub genre
The document discusses five horror subgenres: supernatural, psychological, slasher, possession, and gothic. It provides details on some common conventions and tropes of each subgenre. For example, it notes that possession films often feature religious imagery and focus on characters displaying abnormal behavior after becoming possessed. The document also explains that the author's group chose to focus on the possession subgenre for their project because it offers rich narrative possibilities and appeals to modern audiences. They believe the subgenre provides an opportunity to flex their creative skills as media practitioners.
Adventure pro forma
Here are some suggestions for your video game, magazine, and advertisement layouts based on your research:
Video Game Layout:
- Simple side-scrolling gameplay from left to right
- Long background that scrolls to give illusion of character movement
- Layered backgrounds with foreground/background color differentiation
- Main character stands out against backgrounds (e.g. red character)
- Clear UI elements like health bar, inventory, etc. at top of screen
- Varied sound effects and music to add engagement
- Cutscenes for story/boss battles
Magazine Layout:
- Bold masthead in prominent color that matches game
- Large cover image/character(s) in center to draw
Slasher tropes
The document discusses several common character tropes that are often seen in slasher films. It describes the villain, who is usually disfigured or wears a mask, and is oddly powerful. It also discusses the group of friends, which often includes a jock, stoner/nerd, promiscuous girl, and final girl. Other tropes mentioned include the benefactor, who gifts the group items; common locations like cabins in the woods; and the final girl character who is typically the last survivor. The document also examines psychological theories about the oedipal complex and how some analyses see the final girl representing castration anxiety.
4 irony-verbal-situational-dramatic
The document defines and provides examples of different types of irony:
1. Verbal irony is when what is said differs from what is meant, such as insincere compliments.
2. Situational irony occurs when the actual outcome differs from what was expected, like in The Sixth Sense where the main character is unaware of his own death.
3. Dramatic irony exists when the audience understands more than the characters, as seen in horror movies where viewers know dangers the characters do not.
Ideas generation
The document describes 6 original screenplay concepts:
1) A hairdresser and brother-in-law kidnap money to rescue a child (Forrest Gump meets Two and a Half Men).
2) A space alien and ex-con battle aliens while discovering the truth with a pet pig (Aliens meets Jurassic Park).
3) A psychic detective and hired killer con the government while discovering the truth with a DA (Men in Black meets CSI: Miami).
4) A plastic surgeon and hired killer wreck meth labs to prove their worth to his family (Bridget Jones' Diary meets CSI: Miami).
5) A cab driver and superhero find lost treasure while drinking with
Horror Movie Pitch
The document outlines a movie pitch for a supernatural horror film. It describes the genre as horror and subgenre as supernatural, with a minimum runtime of 3 hours. The story involves a male protagonist who is increasingly disturbed and targeted by a supernatural presence after receiving a sinister note and USB containing a video of his death. As he seeks help from the police and friends, strange things continue to happen and shots show his battered appearance in the mirror. The story ends with the protagonist staying up at night guarding the door as more letters arrive, before he is finally claimed by the supernatural being after opening the door. Potential actors, locations and props are also briefly discussed.
Elit 17 class 6n film she's the man
The agenda includes a film screening of She's the Man, a 2006 romantic comedy directed by Andy Fickman, starring Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum. It runs for 1 hour and 46 minutes. The homework assignments ask students to discuss what Olivia's interchangeability of Cesario and Sebastian in Twelfth Night says about love and marriage, and to compare a scene from She's the Man to the corresponding scene in Twelfth Night, discussing how the director made the film relevant while staying true to Shakespeare.
Unweaving the lexical rainbow: Grounding Linguistic Creativity in Perceptual ...
The challenge of linguistic creativity is to use words in a way that is novel and striking and even whimsical, to convey meanings that remain stubbornly grounded in the very same world of familiar experiences as serves to anchor the most literal and unimaginative language. The challenge remains unmet by systems that merely shuttle or arrange words to achieve novel arrangements without concern as to how those arrangements are to spur the processes of meaning construction in a reader. In this paper we explore a problem of lexical invention that cannot be solved without an explicit model of the perceptual grounding of language: the invention of apt new names for colours. To solve this problem we shall call upon the notion of a linguistic readymade, a phrase that is wrenched from its original context of use to be given new meaning and new resonance in new settings. To ensure that our linguistic readymades, which owe a great deal to Marcel Duchamp’s notion of found art, are anchored in a consensus model of perception, we introduce the notion of a lexicalized colour stereotype.
Game of tropes
Twitter has proven itself a rich and varied source of language data for linguistic analysis. For Twitter is more than a popular new channel for social interaction in language; in many ways it constitutes a whole new genre of text, as users adapt to its new limitations (140 character messages) and to its novel conventions such as retweeting and hash-tagging. But Twitter presents an opportunity of another kind to computationally-minded researchers of language, a generative opportunity to study how algorithmic systems might exploit linguistic tropes to compose novel, concise and re-tweetable texts of their own. This paper evaluates one such system, a Twitterbot named @MetaphorMagnet that packages its own metaphors and ironic observations as pithy tweets. Moreover, we use @MetaphorMagnet, and the idea of Twitterbots more generally, to explore the relationship of linguistic containers to their contents, to understand the extent to which human readers fill these containers with their own meanings, to see meaning in the outputs of generative systems where none was ever intended. We evaluate this placebo effect by asking human raters to judge the comprehensibility, novelty and aptness of texts tweeted by simple and sophisticated Twitterbots.

Breaking Bad and Coming Good: Computer-Generated Stories of Change
Stories move us emotionally by physically moving their protagonists, from place to place or from state to state. The most psychologically compelling stories are stories of change, in which characters learn and evolve as they fulfil their dreams or become what they most despise. Character-driven stories must do more than maneouver their protagonists as game pieces on a board, but move them along arcs that transform their inner qualities. This presentation describes the Flux Capacitor, a generator of transformative character arcs that are both intuitive and dramatically interesting. These arcs – which define a conceptual start-point and end-point for a character in a narrative – may be translated into short story pitches or used as inputs to an existing story-generator. A corpus-based means of constructing novel arcs is presented, as are criteria for selecting and filtering arcs for well-formedness, plausibility and interestingness. Characters can thus, in this way, be computationally modeled as dynamic blends that unfold along a narrative trajectory.

WHIM: The What-If Machine
This presentation surveys work done on the EC-funded WHIM project (The What-If Machine) by the UCD partner, lead by Tony Veale. WHIM focuses on computational creativity and automated ideation, that is, the construction of autonomous software that can generate, filter and package its own original ideas.
Computational Creativity is the scientific study of the creative potential of machines: to determine whether machines can indeed be creative, it aims to build generative machines and programs that exhibit human-scale creativity.
Placebo effect
The document discusses different styles that can be used to frame a narrative, ranging from objective to subjective, playful, poetic, or metaphorical. It also mentions the possibility of using an "active, passive, negative, positive, or even a 'dream narrative'" style. The document concludes by inviting Mr. Simpson to star in a North Korean movie about Barack Obama, though noting that something "doesn't fit...all that well."
SemEval 2015 Task 11: Sentiment Analysis of Figurative Language in Twitter
This presentation summarizes the objectives and evaluation of the SemEval 2015 task on the sentiment analysis of figurative language on Twitter (Task 11). This is the first sentiment analysis task wholly dedicated to analyzing figurative language on Twitter. Specifically, three broad classes of figurative language are considered: irony, sarcasm and metaphor. Gold standard sets of 8000 training tweets and 4000 test tweets were annotated using workers on the crowdsourcing platform CrowdFlower. Participating systems were required to provide a fine-grained sentiment score on an 11-point scale (-5 to +5, including 0 for neutral intent) for each tweet, and systems were evaluated against the gold standard using both a Cosine-similarity and a Mean-Squared-Error measure
Colorful Twitterbots
The names we give to colors tell us as much about the namer as about the color itself. With so many hues and shades to choose from, a good color needs a good name. Just look at how paint companies like Dulux name their colors. Can we build a software agent, in the form of a Twitterbot, that invents meaningful and apt (if mischievous and sometimes rude) names for real colors? This presentation outlines the task of building a lexical invention system that assigns clever new names to colors and tweets the results on Twitter.
Metaphor for NLP (at NAACL 2015)
While the world contains many differing views, a clash of opposing perspectives can both educate and entertain by highlighting the implicit assumptions that form our viewpoints. Consideration of an experimental Twitter bot illustrates how even simple artificial systems may aim for logical consistency in hopes of fostering meaningful exchange, and how a single metaphorical framework can bring together contrasting positions.
Seduced and abandoned in the Chinese Room
This document discusses grounding the use of color symbols by bots in external visual reality. It proposes building a bot that assigns meaningful color names to random RGB color codes by grounding the meaning of color words in actual RGB codes and combining color words and codes compositionally. The bot could use n-grams to suggest conventional or unusual combinations of color stereotypes to derive creative color names. A user study is mentioned that found human-generated color names on ColorLovers.com were rated as more descriptive, preferred and creative than machine-generated names from a proposed HueHueBot.
Tutorial on Creative Twitterbots
Computational Creativity is the scientific study of the creative potential of machines: to determine whether machines can indeed be creative, it aims to build generative machines and programs that exhibit human-scale creativity.
Creative Twitterbots are software agents that have their own world views, formulate their own opinions and tweet their own original messages. This Tutorial considers what it means for a text to be creative, briefly surveys the emerging technology of Twitterbots, and describes the workings of a creative metaphor-generating Twitterbot called @MetaphorMagnet

TEDx Talk (From 2015 TEDx Osnabruck event on Facets of Sustainability) on Computational Creativity, and the role of creative machines in sustaining human creativity.
Introducing Computational Creativity
An illustrated lecture introducing key concepts in the emerging field of Computational Creativity.
Computational Creativity is the scientific study of the creative potential of machines: to determine whether machines can indeed be creative, it aims to build generative machines and programs that exhibit human-scale creativity.
Metaphors all the way down
This document contains summaries of several fictional characters including Darth Vader from Star Wars, Bane from DC Comics, and Hamlet from William Shakespeare's play. It also references two European Commission coordination actions related to computational creativity.
Tutorial on Creative Metaphor Processing
Metaphor is both a rhetorical device and a cognitive lever. It allows us to make the familiar seem strange and the strange feel familiar. It allows us to use our knowledge of a well-understood domain to structure and fill-out a domain in which we are less knowledgeable, or for which we lack the established terminology. In short, metaphor gives new life to our words, and new power to our concepts.
The tutorial focuses on the computational processing of metaphor: how might a computer understand a metaphor, and how might a computer generate meaningful and novel metaphors of its own?

Film ratings also help audiences understand what level of content is appropriate for their age.
Narrative codes blog
Roland Barthes identified 5 narrative codes used to analyze media: (1) Action code signifies progression of the narrative; (2) Mystery/Enigma code grabs audience attention by posing unresolved problems; (3) Semic code conveys signs and meanings about characters and narrative; (4) Cultural code references real-world elements for cultural understanding; (5) Code of Opposition relies on contrasting binary concepts like weak vs. strong that are vaguely used in thrillers.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
