This document provides instruction and guidance for students to analyze opening title sequences (OTS) in films. It defines an OTS and its purpose of introducing the film. Students are asked to watch example OTS clips and fill out an analysis chart. They will then work in groups to analyze 2 OTS in more depth using a provided worksheet. The group will create a PowerPoint presenting their analysis, comparing similarities and differences between the 2 sequences. Extensions encourage students to watch as many horror OTS as possible to help with their coursework analyzing OTS for a new horror film.

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.
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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
1. What is an OTS/TS?
L/O: to be able to know what an
opening title sequence is and be able
to analyse existing OTS’s in a group
2. Starter (3 mins)
• What is an opening title sequence and what is
it’s purpose? (known as: OTS or TS)
• Write down your definition….
• Then class feedback…..
3. Wiki definition
• A title sequence is the method by
which films or television programs present their title,
key production and cast members, or both, utilizing
conceptual visuals and sound.
It usually follows but should not be confused with
the opening credits, which are generally nothing more
than a series of superimposed text.
• Purpose of OTS: to introduce the film.
• Purpose will vary depending on genre and type of OTS
4. Your coursework
Main task:
the titles and opening of a new fiction film, to last
a maximum of two minutes.
(everyone will be doing horror genre)
For now, you will begin research on OTS’s in
general.
We will be setting blogs later so you need to keep
all work stored on One Drive (office 365)
5. Before the next activity
• Arrange yourselves in groups of 4 (if odd 1
group of 3)
• Get a piece of sugar paper or large paper (2
A3’s taped together is fine)
• Also, get out a thick felt tip …….
6. Short intro task
• In the centre, write “Things in OTS’s”.
• Task: Create a mind map of everything that
goes into opening title sequences…
– i.e. the title of the film
– Try to give examples from films if you can
10 mins and then each group share with class
7. Main task

video from this website)
Extension question:
how are they similar and how
are they different?
Answer:
8. Artofthetitle
• http://www.artofthetitle.com/
• You will use this website to research OTS’s
• It’s excellent because it has the videos (tv and film
openings) but also further information
• For example:
• http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/true-blood/
• Scroll down, sometimes there are interviews……and
sometimes there is info about the ‘making of’ so spend
some time playing around on this website!
9. Task/Homework (Due ____)
• You will have some class time to work on this, but the rest should
be done for homework
• In a group, go onto http://www.artofthetitle.com/
• Choose 2 different OTS you want to analyse
• Fill in worksheet
Rules:
• Be sure to scroll through the ALL the title sequences and watch at
least 10 different ones before you decide on 2
• No one can analyse the same opening sequence so tell your teacher
which OTS’s you will analyse so we don’t double book
• In presentation, everyone in group must say something
• This will go on your blog later so don’t lose paperwork/notes
10. Powerpoint instructions
*colour code slides
• Slide 1: Assignment 2: OTS Analysis with names in group
• Slide 2: Names of your 2 OTS’
• Slide 3: Screen shots and annotations from different things you see, hear and feel
from OTS 1
• Slide 4: Screen shots and annotations from different things you see, hear and feel
from OTS 2
• Slide 5: Table to compare the similarities and differences between the two OTS’
• Slide 6: Conclusion (copy and complete: In a film’s opening title sequence we
expect to see…..
*Don’t divide the slides up between group, everyone should do parts of each slide
11. During presentations
• Play the OTS from artofthetitle.com first
• Then explain your analysis to class
• Rest of the class during presentations:
(peer assessment)
– Could they identify key features of the OTS?
– Did they use a range of key terms?
– Did they understand the purpose and style of the OTS?
– Could they make connections between the 2 of the
OTS’s by comparing the similarities/differences?
12. Extension tasks
Please try to watch as many horror opening title sequences as
possible!!!!!!!!!!!!
• The more you watch, the better your coursework is likely to be!
• Resources:
– www.artofthetitle.com
– www.watchthetitles.com
– Netflix / lovefilm /amazonprime / google play
– DVD’s
– Youtube (but not the best for finding OTS’s)
It would be EXCELLENT if you could keep a list of all the OTS’s you’ve
watched so you can put these on your blogs later!
