They were influenced by crime fiction and typically involved convoluted storylines told through flashbacks. The male protagonist usually wished to escape his mysterious past and had to choose between different paths. Some quintessential examples include Laura (1944), The Maltese Falcon (1941), and Double Indemnity (1949). Film Noir explored tensions of the post-war era through themes of melancholy, alienation, and disillusionment. Central characters were often flawed detectives and the femme fatale, a mysterious and manipulative woman.

Conventions of cd advertising
The document provides guidelines for creating an advertisement for a CD. It recommends prominently displaying the artist's name and album title, using the main album image, including a recognizable logo, and noting the artist and label websites and release date to inform fans. Optional elements are positive reviews from recognized publications.
Star image
Richard Dyer's star theory argues that celebrities are constructed by media institutions for financial gain rather than representing real people. Stars are modeled to appeal to target audiences, with their public personas carefully crafted through various media to increase sales. While stars possess extraordinary talents, they must also seem ordinary enough for audiences to relate to them. Their popularity relies on audiences identifying certain admired features of the star that they see in themselves.
Props and costume
The document lists various props and costumes needed for a music video. Props include a treadmill, car, hospital bed, wheelchair, plates, and basketball. Hospital equipment like medicines and oxygen tanks are also listed. Costumes are simple, with characters wearing sports kits for gym/running scenes and basic clothes like jeans and t-shirts for other scenes. The lip-syncer will wear all black smart casual clothes.
Institutions (a2) media
YouTube would be a good institution to distribute a new video due to its large user base and potential for viral views. It provides easy access for friends and family to view uploaded content. MTV would also be suitable due to its large global fan base and multiple channels that could feature the video. Signing with MTA Records, founded by popular artists Chase and Status, could expose a video to millions of their fans if selected as the artists' official video.
Audience research
People tend to choose music that reflects their emotions and mood. Research shows angry or frustrated individuals prefer heavy metal or rap, while happier people prefer pop or classical. However, being angry can also lead one to choose upbeat music to cheer up. Whether music videos impact music enjoyment depends on the individual. Avid film fans may like or dislike a song based on its video, while others focus only on the music. What attracts or puts off individuals from music videos varies widely based on personal preferences around production quality, acting, and other factors.
Chosen song a2 media
This document provides information about the song "Alive" by British record production duo Chase & Status featuring Jacob Banks. It was released independently on December 15, 2013 as the third single from their third studio album Brand New Machine. The genre is drum and bass, which is characterized by fast breakbeats between 150-180 beats per minute. The video for "Alive" reflects the quick pace through rapid shots and tells a story of a character who is kicked out by his father, commits a robbery, but then leaves a life of crime behind after losing his girlfriend.
Audience member media
This document describes characteristics of a stereotypical film noir fan. It notes that he would wear classic film-inspired clothes like open shirts and glasses. He eats ready meals like noodles and curry since he watches films all the time. He enjoys classic and 1980s jazz music as well as modern TV shows with an old American setting like The Sopranos. He occasionally rewatches film noir classics such as L.A. Confidential and The Third Man.
Investigating narrative theories
This document discusses narrative theory and Vladimir Propp's analysis of characters and their functions in Russian fairytales from the 1920s. Propp proposed that characters could be classified into clearly defined roles like the hero, villain, donor, dispatcher, and others. Propp's model fits stories like Star Wars well but not more recent nonlinear narratives. The document also links roles like the hero, villain, donor, and dispatcher to a film noir film about a recently graduated police officer working to bring down a local gang leader.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
