We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
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.
1. In what ways does your media
product use, develop or
challenge forms and conventions
of real media products?
2. Whilst developing ideas for my film idea I decided to take it in a new
direction and pursue a genre I haven't tried before, I chose to make a
documentary type genre short film as I wanted to take the audience on
a journey through time. I followed the genre conventions of wanting to
get an emotional response from the audience. My idea revolved
around telling the audience a story, to do this I decided to make a short
film based around a series of photographs and short video clips. I
thought of this as a creative and unique idea.
3. When thinking about what or who I wanted to focus my documentary
on I thought about the different possibilities, the idea of a 90 year old
grand father who has seen and experienced so much caught my
attention as it can relate to all audiences in different ways. This type of
documentary can relate to younger audiences as it can inspire them
and determine them to want to succeed in life, it can also attract an
older audience as they may have similar life experiences and can
connect with the short film.
4. When thinking of mise en scene of the scenes where my grand father
was speaking about his life experiences, I wanted it to show him in his
average everyday scenario. To do this I had him in his armchair next to
the window which added some nice natural lighting, there was nothing
in the background which was a nice backdrop as it meant the spectator
could focus on where they should be looking instead of their eyes
wandering off the main subject. For the opening and ending shots I
chose to have the same shot of the coo-coo clock, this symbolised the
passing of time and the ticking of life passing by one tick at a time. I
used post production and added visual effects such as masks, blurs and
make it more saturated, this made the clock more appealing for the
audience and catch the eye even though it’s a long shot.
5. Overall I feel as though I have created a successful short film which is
unique and shows my creative ideas through cinematography, mise en
scene and more. The short film develops the longer it goes on and
shows a true story through time and the progression of life,
highlighting key life moments and scenarios from the perspective of a
90 year old man. The audience are attracted and involved in the short
film as the voiceover connects the audience to the narrative and the
character involved.
