The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Q)How does
your product
use or
challenge
conventions &
how does it
represent social
groups or
issues?
Though basically my opening is
related to horror. I have used many
conventions that I will mention. Horror
is the genre of fiction which is intended
to, or has the capacity to frighten,
scare or disgust.
Location: spooky graveyard, haunted
house ,the gas station ,dark and silent
street, forest.
Props: bare hands, teeth ,fire/
explosive ,Machete, Hooks,
supernatural powers
3. HORROR
The main protagonist is often the
victim, of the movie. The villain is often
a monster, serious killer, creepy
children, The stupid moral teenagers
that always get killed. Regarding the
editing, A quick succession of fast
paced short clips will disoriented an
audience. Low key lighting is used for
horror due it creates effects it creates.
It create tension, due to it mysterious
and dark atmosphere and controlling
how much of the character are
revealed and surrounding.
4. HORROR
In general the camera shots are used were
hand held camera shot, low angles shot and
closeup shot. Sounds are used of creepy
Foots, opening of the door, etc.
Basically during the film I have used the low key
lighting to create a dark and scary effect .I have
used mid medium shots to know the detail about
the character and closeup shots to show what
the character is holding. Also I have used match
on action to show the clear footsteps of
character. Moreover, The location I have
selected is the street and the time I have chosen
is the bit late as it is the horror films so there is a
need of a house too.
5. HORROR
In my opening scene, it has certain social issues that are highlighted
and I am going to talk about anxiety, gender .Anxiety can be shown
as it is the scary film. And the character doesn’t know what will
happen in the end and what type of thing she will find in the street as
it is a suspense and mystery.
Now the second issue is about the gender. Thus can be represented
that teenagers became too scared .This can be represented when
she will look towards the doll in the room at the object or near to
hear.
Sometimes they are not given much importance in today's times.
Females are not shown as a victim but in my opening she has
been shown innocent and pure character. This can also be proven
through the white clothes as it shows that she is not indulging in
wrong things.
