Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

2. Production outline :
My documentary/ film will attempt to present how creative individuals working in york operate and weather they feel
doing things in a small city is an advantage or disadvantage. I will cover 3 main topics, music, modelling and fashion and
then finally graffiti/ urban art. I will cover various individuals who work in these fields and what they do. The film will begin
with a section on music, where myself and another artist will explain what music is to us overall and then show segments
of us performing. The main message relating to the small-town aspect of the film here is lack of resources and opportunity.
This will mostly be outlined in the narration, but with some footage of people rapping in the street using a car speaker,
which should present lack of resources.
After this, I will delve into the modelling/ fashion section. Here I will cover one subject and his experience being a model in
york. The section will introduce with an overview of who the subject is by the narrator, with footage of a fashion shoot
taking place. To present the struggle of working in a small town I will outline various work my subject has previously done,
which took place out of york, and emphasize the fact its always out of york where he finds work. To conclude this section, I
will show footage of a shoot in york to present how we do it up here.
Finally, I will cover graffiti in york. I will speak to one graffiti artist from york and have him take us out around york doing
graffiti. The section will begin with an interview style format where the artist explains what graffiti is to him and what the
scenes like in york. Then a short graffiti montage will playout consisting of people doing graffiti, and other pieces of graffiti
around york. The section will conclude with another quick bit of dialogue from the artist in the interview format again. The
small town aspect in this section is the issue that there's a lack of active graffiti artists in the city due to the council's total
disregard of urban art.
The main aim of my film is to firstly present what urban creativeness is going on here, but also to inspire others who live in
or places like york to begin a creative venture. I find there's a very present stigma surrounding doing not only creative
things, but anything out of the 'ordinary' in York. From my personal experience putting my work out there, I can definitely
say there is a strong attitude against it in york. People here find it very hard to take someone doing something like music or
fashion seriously, I think because of how small the industry is here. I think due to the small industry, and the stigma it has
created, nobody feels comfortable to start a creative venture. My film aims to show people here that actually people are
doing creative things, and its not a total fantasy or hobby. Hopefully in seeing my film, people will feel much more
comfortable putting their material out there, as it won't be such an out there thing to do as it is now.

4. Storyboard breakdown:
(this is a simplified representation of my film and not all shots /
audio is covered.)
• Box 1 – The image here represents a montage of york landmark shots. There
will be a black and white filter used with a jungle soundtrack. This section will
be the intro and will also be used as a transition shot.
• Box 2 – The image here represents a shot of a group of lads standing in a sort
of dramatic, iconic way, this will be used as an introductory break up shot to
sperate the intro from the first section. This is needed as the usual transition
shot is the intro.
• Box 3 – This is the intro section to my music segment. Here I will play a
compilation of previous events to a jungle soundtrack. Narration will begin
towards the end of this compilation.
• Box 4 – the image here represents a shot of me at my desk writing lyrics and
then performing a freestyle. Narration here is explaining my experience
making music.

• Box 5 – This image represents a compilation of shots that present a fashion
shoot. One notable shot here is the model gathering clothing from the boot
of a car mid shoot. The narration here will introduce the new section, giving
an overall explanation of who the model is and the scene in york.
• Box 6 – this box represents a section where I present the models previous work
and the narrator explains it. The previous work consists of videos and photos
that I will incorporate into a montage with some visual effects and animation.
• Box 7 - this image represents a shot of the model getting on with a shoot.
Narration will stop here and we will use the audio of the video,
where directional discussion will take place that should present some key
points to how we go about a shoot.
• Box 8 – This is a close up shot which is filmed at the same location and on
the same day as the previous fashion shoot shot. It will consist of the model
giving a brief explanation of his career.
• Box 9 – this box represents the intro for the graffiti section. It will consist of a
montage of pan shots of graffiti around york.
• Box 10 – This box represents the introduction to our graffiti artist. It will in an
interview format and the artist will outline graffiti to him, as a whole, and in
York.
• Box 11 – this box holds the main section of the graffiti segment. It's a montage/
edit of graffiti taking place around york.
• Box 12 – this is the final outro to the whole film where I will use an extended
version of the intro/ transition shot (york landmarks)

5. Location list:
• Minster
• Shambles
• River
• Train station
• Train yard
• River foss
• Industrial areas
• Groves flats
• Walmgate flats
• White brick tunnel
• Train bridges
• Motorway
• General city center
• Corner shops
• Skatepark
• Multistory car parks
• Sainsburys car park stair
well
• Uni tunnel
• Layerthorpe gas works
• Terraced back alleys
• Cycle tracks near doddy
• Bridge near doddy
These are some
locations the main
body of the film will
take place. They
should create a gritty
urban environment
that really seems
different to the usual
york we see on tourist
info etc.
These are the
locations I will use for
my intro/ transition
section. The aim of
this section is to
present york
traditionally, as the
tourist boards do, so
the use of these well-
known landmarks
should do this well. It
should make for a
shocking transition
from nice peacefull
york to our grittier
version as the film
plays out.
6. Further breakdown of main locations:
Holgate yard
One of the longest segments to my film is the graffiti section. Since the early 80s graffiti
artists have used trains as canvasses, and its still going on today. Yorks train yard is a great
place to spot heavily painted freight trains and paint them. The section on graffiti should
really present the weird underworld to york, by showing somewhere most residents will
never go. Not only is it somewhere people wont go, it’s a shockingly out of the ordinary
environment. The combination of trains, electrical equipment and general industrial
atmosphere really emphasizes the urban city like look. This location represents graffiti
perfectly due to its history and the fact there's graffiti everywhere. this will be one of the
main locations in the graffiti section.
Rowntree Wharfe
This location will be used for some of my fashion/ modelling segment. The segment will
consist of a photoshoot for the model I will cover. The location of this shot isn't particularly
important as most context is gathered from what's going on in the shot (the photoshoot). I
came to the conclusion of this location due to its brutal urban look which should match the
rest of the film. This location should present the style of photo we take, and what we look
for as a background. As mentioned in the explanation of the train yard location, I want to
present the gritty underside to york that not everyone sees. Though this is quite a known
area, it really gives the industrial look I want.
Leeman road tunnel
This location will be used in the graffiti section and the fashion/ modelling section. This
tunnel presents the dirty side of york probably the best out of all my locations, with
grime dripping from the walls, bird poop everywhere and anti-style graffiti all over it. I
think this tunnel creates a very hostile, threatening environment which is perfect for the
graffiti section. With the modelling section, this location is used to present what we look
for when choosing a photo background, and hopefully the use of this location in the
graffiti section will make clear this vibe is what we go for throughout all aspects of
creating. Also, for photoshoots this location is really effective due to its dramatic length,
lighting and symmetry.
All these locations come with some downsides, notably the train yard. The train yard is not a public place meaning it would be illegal to enter. To
overcome this, I am going to film all shots from the perimeter with a zoom lens. To get shots of the artists painting, I will provide the artist who will
enter the yard with a POV camera to capture what he does in there clearly. Another prominent issue is with the tunnel, and the fact that its often
busy. To film the shot I want I will need to block the tunnel therefore I will need to do this on a quiet day.
7. One of the main and definitely most distinctive shots is the
intro/ transition shot. This shot is entirely black and white
and so are some others in my film. I will use more faded
b&w filters where the blacks are less prominent.
Another large style aspect of my film is the use of vintage /
VHS filters. The style of these is fairly universal with only
minor differences between all I explored. The general look is
some boxy text saying something like the date or 'recording'
and then a slightly grainy, under exposed filter. I will use a
combination of various different vintage/ VHS filters.
Text won't be used all that often in my film however I still want it to have a
developed style. From researching similar products to mine ive decided I will use
fairly simple fonts, like the examples above, with distinctive colours like red and
yellow. This is quite a popular style in similar products to mine at the moment. I
have explored font websites like 'Dafont' however due to wanting a simple style I
will just use a built in one - Helvetica.
I will use mainly for the graffiti section but also sometimes elsewhere glitch
effects and glitch transitions. I will use these simply for aesthetic effect, yet they
do somewhat match the graffiti section style. I have explored various premier pro
preset packs and have decided to use a combination of a few. I will discard ones
with strong colour and try stick to the ones that resemble VHS cameras and static
TV white noise.

9. Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
Rain – my camera is not waterproof, also lots of my shots are
people doing graffiti which you can't really do in the rain, some
costume is grey tracksuits which don’t look good when wet
Camera – I will bring my phone as a back up as its more
waterproof and smaller making it easier to avoid rain. I'll also
bring a carrier bag to cover it with. Graffiti – I will have to
postpone graffiti shots if its raining or find legal walls with cover
e.g under a bridge. The costume issue will be overcome by
bringing backup clothes or standing under cover till the rain
stops.
Public interference – some activities I want to film might look
dodgy to members of the public. Some shots are us doing
graffiti which often people are angry about. Also, I want some
shots of a large number of boys running with hoods on which
might be scary for some people.
I will make sure all graffiti takes place at legal walls, so even if
people interfere, we aren't doing anything wrong and can
explain to people its legal here. For the shots of boys running, I
will make sure its quiet and nobody's around that could feel
threatened by it.
Annoying the public – For my section covering music I will
have people in the street rapping and loud music playing
on a speaker. This could really annoy people living/
working around the shot location.
I will make sure to keep volumes relatively quiet and tell
rappers not to project too loud. Also, I will choose my location
effectively so that it's not too near residential areas or where
people are working. Also, I will try not to take too long at these
locations, I'll try get everything in only a few takes to minimize
the time we are there possibly annoying people.
Resource limitations - I only have 2 cameras available and
one is just my phone. This means I will struggle with
multiple angles and even more so as my phone can't be
connected to a tripod. Also, I don’t have a microphone and
the built in one on my camera isnt very good.
I will ask my friend if I can borrow another camera and also try
find somewhere selling an attachment for my phone that allows
it to be screwed onto a tripod. For my mic issue I will either buy
one or record audio on my phone and sync up in edit.
Time schedule – I need to meet 4 people to make my film
on and it could be challenging to get everyone available at
once.
I will ask everyone's work schedule and find a day everybody is
free, if this isn't possible ill have to film on multiple days.
Lighting – lots of my shots are at night and this could result
in poorly viewable shots if not lit correctly.
I'll make sure to film near streetlights to keep the dark gritty
vibe I want from the night shots but still be able to see what's
going on. I also have LED bar lights that could come in handy. If
visibility is poor with these shots I'll just use as few as I can.
10. Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be avoided?
Injury – Some of my shots include people climbing
buildings and jumping off walls and over fences etc. This
could result in injury. I also want shots of people running
through the street, this could be dangerous as of car or
pedestrian collisions.
Ill make sure to heavily choreograph these shots, fully
rehearsing the jump/ climb. Also, I will make sure to do these
shots in relatively safe environments e.g not near rivers or from
height. To make sure nobody is hit by a car I will only do shots in
the road when there is literally no cars. I'll also plan a route so
its not just people running randomly as that could be
dangerous.
Spray paint fumes – for my shots doing graffiti it is possible I
could inhale paint fumes which is bad for your health
I will make sure to ware a mask designed to stop paint fumes,
also I'll ensure I'm always painting in a ventilated area
Rain – Lots of my shots include people running and
climbing and wet weather could make this very dangerous
I'll make sure shots of people running only take place in nice
weather and if possible I'll shoot them under cover still in the
rain
Trainlines – various shots take place track side and by the
station, this could be dangerous as you could get hit by a
train or get electrocuted by wires etc.
I'll make sure I don’t go near the actual tracks or touch anything
around these areas. Also if a trains coming I'll move away.
Shooting in the dark – Lots of my shots are in the dark and
often the camera man will be running. This already is a
hazard as your focussing on the camera not where your
stepping. This could result in falling over and shooting in
the dark makes this even more of a risk.
I will make sure when filming while running and in the dark
especially, that I don’t look through the viewfinder and keep
checking the ground ahead. Also, I will check the area
thoroughly before filming, removing for example any large
rocks that could be a trip hazard.
Falling equipment – Some shots I will hang up LED lights,
this could be dangerous if they aren't secured properly.
I'll make sure to throroughly attach any lights and also ensure
there in positions where nobody will be around them in off the
chance they do fall.
11. Production Schedule
Day/Lesson Tasks
Thursday 22nd april – 26th april : filming Film all shots
Monday 26th : editing First day editing so will organise footage and
compile into logical orders, removing any shots
I feel I don’t need. I will also possibly begin
editing my transition shot that I will use
throughout the film.
Tuesday 27th : editing I will finish my transition shot I began the
day before and begin building up a timeline
structure.
Wednesday 28th : editing I should now have a basic structure of the
whole film and I will begin adding effects, text
and audio.
Thursday 29th : editing from home I will record my narration at home on my
microphone ready for monday at college where
I will begin adding it over my film
Monday : editing I will now hopefully have a somewhat complete
film that just lacks narration audio, so it should
be quite simple to add that in
