Overall, she challenged conventions by having unconventional layouts while also including traditional magazine elements.
Final Cut Pro was used to edit the short film. This software provided options for editing and allowed importing music and adding transitions between shots. Filters could also be applied, such as using greyscale in one scene. The software enabled adjusting the pace of shots to match the storyboard. Overall, Final Cut Pro was versatile for the construction and editing of the short film.
The document discusses the use of various media technologies in the planning, research, and evaluation stages of a project. Slideshare and Powerpoint were used in the planning and research stages to document work in a presentation format. Powerpoint was used to create the slides, which were then uploaded to Slideshare and linked to a blog. Prezi was used for the evaluation question due to its focus on media technologies, allowing the user to zoom in and out of a project and share the Prezi file through other technologies like Blogger.
The filmmaker received feedback that the characterization of the protagonist and antagonist was unclear. Specifically, the scene where the protagonist approaches the antagonist did not establish their roles well. There was also not enough emphasis on establishing the villainous nature of the antagonist through various shots showing her mysterious persona. Adapting techniques from other films like "Paranormal Activity 3" and "Orphan" that clearly establish the creepy nature of the antagonists could have helped audiences better understand the narrative.
The original production crew pack timetable lacked strict time framing for filming, which led to reshoots. However, it was efficient for tracking crew availability and equipment needs. A better timetable would have allotted specific days and maximum times for shooting, props, and documenting progress to improve efficiency and avoid reshoots. As producer, a more accurate and disciplined schedule should have been created for the production crew to follow strictly.
The combination of the main product and ancillary texts is very effective. The poster depicts the protagonist in a long shot standing alone in the trees, which directly relates to one of the key shots in the film where the protagonist stands alone in the center of the frame surrounded by trees. For the double page spread, the creator aimed to directly link it to the climax of the film. Elements like character costumes, lighting colors, and the protagonist's image were adapted from the climax scene to the double page spread layout and design.
Production log cheryl[1] a2 (upload to blog)ChezInspireMe
This production log summarizes the first three weeks of filming for a short film. In week 1, the film crew had a camera workshop to learn filming skills. Week 2 involved shooting the exposition scene, establishing the main character at home, school, and in public. Various camera shots and angles were used to introduce the character. Week 3 continued shooting other scenes, including one at a bus stop and of the character interacting with a bully.
The document provides a production log summarizing the placement of sound effects and music in a short film. An urban song called "Pass Out" was used for the opening scene to relate to the main character. An "alarm clock" sound effect was added to coincide with scenes of an alarm. The climax scene uses divided rushes of forest sounds with varying volume enhancements. Music was added to a "Chinese whisper" scene to change the mood and pace. An overview lists all sounds used throughout the film, including the opening song, climax forest sounds, and alarm clock.
The document provides screenshots and details of shots taken for the exposition and classroom scenes of a film. For the exposition scene, shots show the protagonist crossing the road, interacting with a homeless person, and boarding a bus for college. Examples of these shots are selected for closer examination. The classroom scene features different camera angles such as medium close-ups and predominantly wide shots to establish the setting and capture multiple classroom actions at once from a large scale perspective.

The Fallen Apple Productions crew pack outlines responsibilities and tasks for the film crew of an upcoming short horror film. The producer, Cheryl, is responsible for securing locations, finding actors and props, creating the script, and overseeing the crew. The director, Topaz, will decide shots and scenes to match the storyboard and genre conventions. Camera and sound operator Deborah must find appropriate sounds and work with the director on shots. Editor Orianne will select shots, ensure narrative flow, and edit the film with input from the camera operator and director. A production timetable schedules camera workshops, rehearsals, and two weeks of filming over three weeks.
Week 6 was the last week of filming for the Fallen Apples production. It was also the 3rd week of editing. The last day of filming involved reshoots of shots to replace mistakes made in editing. This final day of filming allowed them to reshoot scenes from new angles to improve continuity and replace errors from earlier editing. They also continued editing and worked on production logs.
Week 3 of filming was challenging due to replacing an actress last minute. This caused delays and limited preparation time. Week 4 was productive with filming of multiple scenes and the start of editing. Week 5 involved reshooting a scene and continuing editing, though filming took longer than planned due to actor scheduling issues.
Production log cheryl[1] a2 (upload to blog)ChezInspireMe
This production log summarizes the first three weeks of filming for a short film. In week 1, the film crew had a camera workshop to learn camera skills. Week 2 involved shooting the exposition scene, introducing the main character at home, traveling to school, and arriving on campus. Various camera angles were used to show the character's reactions and follow his journey. The last scene of the exposition was easiest to film as it took place in an open public space.
The short film draws influence from the plot and characters of the feature film "Jennifer's Body". Specifically, the antagonist of the short film eliminates the protagonist, similar to "Jennifer's Body". However, the short film features a shy and reclusive antagonist persona rather than a popular one. The location of the school introduces the main characters and the woods brings them into conflict. The short film also features a subversion of the "Final Girl" character type commonly seen in horror films, with the "Final Girl" character being cunning and defeating the protagonist rather than the other way around. This unexpected conclusion leaves the door open for a potential sequel.
The document outlines the roles and responsibilities of the production crew for Fallen Apple Productions' short film. It details the key tasks of the producer, director, camera and sound operator, and editor. It also includes a production timeline spanning 9 weeks, outlining the shooting and editing schedule. The crew consists of a producer, director, camera and sound operator, and editor, as well as two actors.
The document discusses adapting elements from feature films and short films in the horror genre to a new short film. It analyzes the shot composition, mise-en-scene, lighting, and locations used in films like "The Lovely Bones" and "The Hitcher" to build tension and fear. Specific techniques that will be adapted to the new short film include using a medium close-up shot of an antagonist in dark, deserted woods to startle the audience and create a sense of mystery and isolation for the protagonist.
The document summarizes a group's final idea for a narrative story called "The Boy That Cried Wolf." It includes:
1) Details on the characters of Harry as the false hero/protagonist and Hermione as the antagonist/villain.
2) A description of the 5 stage narrative structure to be followed, with some subversions including leaving the story on a cliffhanger.
3) Explanations of changes made to simplify the original narrative and emphasize the horror element more toward the end.
4) Outlines of the exposition, development, complication, and climax scenes before adding a resolution at the end.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

5th LF Energy Power Grid Model Meet-up SlidesDanBrown980551
5th Power Grid Model Meet-up
It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

3. Codes & Conventions of the contents page.
For the contents page I will be using a conventional ‘contents’ title in a larger font size and the main masthead of the product which is ‘JazzMin’
beneath the contents page in a smaller font size.
However, despite the difference in size, the contents page will mirror the font style of the masthead to maintain the products corporate identity.
This is because, the institution of the product is focused on maintaining and reinforcing brand identity as much as possible so that the
audience recognise the product straight away – when the product becomes distributed.
C O N TE N TS
I will be using the conventional masthead title for the contents
page to be ‘content’. This is to make awareness for the target
audience to know where they can get information to help them
navigate their way through the product.
4. What type of graphics will you be using to navigate your target
audience and why?
The type of graphics that I will be used to help the target audience navigate their way through the product will be the use of boxes with images
inserted into them.
On these images will be page numbers to help the target audience find out the information behind the image. To add to this, other boxes will be
placed below the image to give readers an indication as to what to find and discover what the story behind that image is. Essentially, this
box will be the teaser that selects minimal information that will lure the target audience to read what the magazine has to offer alongside

5. What four shot types will you be using for your contents page and why will they appeal to
your target audience?
For the contents page the shot type that I will be using, range from medium shots to close-up.
• The close up shot achieves a great communication with the target audience – the image is one that is very close up and personal. In this
way the consumers of the product will know they can trust the product, and can feel comfortable with the product. Also, through this image
the target audience will be aware that as females it is important to stick together and because of this the target audience will be able to
trust the product.
• The image used as an introduction to the double page spread portrays the females in the image to be having fun; this image captivates
the warmth of the product. The image also mirrors the previous and initial cover line that was going to be used – ‘’girls just wanna have
fun’’
Also the background of this image is in a suburban area. I have selected
this image because the background is realistic and many girls who live in
areas such as this can identify themselves with the product.
Furthermore, this realistic background challenges the conventional
backgrounds of music magazine from different genres such as Hip Hop,
Rock and Pop etc. The backgrounds shown in many music magazines
of those genres usually use green screen, to create unrealistic
backgrounds for the target audience and highlighting the glamour of the
artist. I want my product to differ from this, because it is one that
represents real people than the stereotypical celebrity type glamour that
is featured on the front cover of many magazines.
6. What four shot types will you be using for your contents page and why?

8. What will the images tell the target audience?
I want all the images to bring out the fun and excitement of Jazz that expresses being a female in the Jazz Industry. All of the images exhibited
on the contents page show the females (musicians and journalist) in the magazine to be ordinary girls in the late teens and early
adulthood to be having fun and they are represented in a laid back way. I want my target audience to identify the images to be laid back
meaning they can be confident in the product, or gain some confidence through it themselves.
Also the images, especially they fourth image
Furthermore, the first image will also tell the target audience
that there is a close/ relationship between themselves and the

9. What type of fonts and font sizes will be used for your contents page and WHY?
COLOUR OF FONT
C O N TE N TS Font style used:
The font style that will be used for the masthead of the contents page

real media products to use only one consisted font in one manner on a contents page. If so, some of the text on that same font style
could have italics. More over, different font styles communicate different messages for different types of audiences. This is the concept in
which I applied for my contents page:
• Stencil – links with target audience, will also be used to mark product identity.
•Times New Roman – adds a sophistication to the product.
What will the colour of your texts be on the contents page?
The main colours that will be used for the contents page for the text will be red, white and black.
These colours will be used as it is the colour scheme for the whole magazine.
These colours will be used in a diverse way, for ex: on the images in the contents page will be
numbers which will be of the colour red.
The contents page title will look like this, again it maintains coporate Identity, by being very
similar to the masthead on the front page.
