The pre-production stage involves planning all aspects of filmmaking in order to organize the production process. The director has significant influence over pre-production by shaping the mood and feel of the film. A talented crew is assembled based on the director's preferences and vision for the film. The script is refined and locations, equipment, props, and filming schedule are determined to properly execute the director's vision.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
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.

production Research

2. The pre-production stage
of film making is meant
to plan the whole
process in order to help
the producers organise
everything in time. The
director is usually the
first person they hire and
will have a lot of
influence in molding the
pre-production process
that will fit them best. A
team of production that
will execute the film
properly quality and
budget wise must be
hired.
INTRODUCTION
3. Due to the director being the heart and
soul of the filmmaking process, the rest
of the crew is formed depending on the
director’s preference. They shape the
mood and feel of the film which the
editors, cinematographers, actors, writers,
etc. have to match and fulfill.
Once a script is written, the director, together with
the writers, has to consider how well it will translate
onto the screen. Some ideas might be well developed
and seem fitting on paper, but when it comes to
realisation, they might be inconvenient due to budget
or simply not conveying the right image.
The writers and the director also need to think about
whether the script allows the film to portray the
desired mood and feel. Once the script is finalized, all
of the following steps must match it perfectly in
order for the execution to be as imagined.
Quentin Tarantino, one of the most
famous film directors of today.
4. Usually, most of the crew is hired by the film producers
and casting directors with the influence of the director.
However, the director most of the time desires a
specific appearance for the main characters, so the
casting of starring roles is largely dependant on the
director’s wants.
If the right and talented actors aren’t picked, the whole
tone of the film could feel off and the audience might
not have the prefered reading of the message it’s trying
to get across.
A production designer is responsible for making sure
the film seems believable and realistic. They work
closely with the costimographers and set decorators,
who make sure the physical appearance of characters
and their surroundings fit the time period, mood of the
film etc. Makeup artists are also needed in order to
ensure the actors look their best on camera. However,
they are especially necessary if SFX makeup needs to
be done.
5. When booking out dates for shooting, the producers must allow enough time for careful filming and
reshoots. The filming locations that will fit the mood and needs of the film also must be chosen.
Scheduling must be realistic in order for the actors’ performance to be at its peak and the crew can work
hard.
When a location is chosen, it needs to be determined how will the lighting be placed so the scenery looks
its best, while also conveying the desired tone.
The equipment needs to be bought and ready to film on the set. The producers should also think about
what kind of props would be necessary for the filming, so they can also be brought to the set and ready
to be used.
A storyboard should be made prior to filming
since it would drastically save time during the
production process and help the director and the
rest of the crew plan their shots and determine
which ones are the best fit for the effect they
want to achieve.
