The document discusses how the filmmakers attracted their audience to their horror film title sequence. They did research which showed that horror is a popular genre, especially with male audiences. They used typical horror conventions like good vs evil and isolation to attract viewers familiar with the genre. While they followed most conventions, they broke the "final girl" convention of having a sole female survivor, instead excluding female characters altogether. This unusual choice may have limited some female viewers but attracted others interested in a unique twist. Feedback on the title sequence was positive, praising the sound design and climactic killing. Areas for potential improvement include increasing tension through faster pacing, including a female role to fit conventions, or designing a more eye-catching title. Overall

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.

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.
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

1. How did you
attract/address
your audience?
Before we started to film our title sequence, we
did some research which was very useful. We
discovered that most people enjoy watching
horror films, especially males due to the fear
factor. Therefore, by choosing the horror genre
we were able to attract an audience because it
is one of the most popular genres. Using the
typical conventions would attract the audience
as they knew what to expect.
Firstly, we attracted our audience to our film by
using the typical conventions of a horror film.
For example, good vs evil and gore, set within
isolated areas. Also, I think we achieved good
camera work, mise en scene, lighting and
sound, which are all important to create a
successful film. Costume was another success
as we created a fantastic horror antagonist.
However, we decided to go against the final
girl theory. This states that within a horror
film, a female always survives. However, we
didn’t even include a female character.
Therefore, we attracted the audience as they
would have liked to have seen a horror film
that goes against such a typical convention.
However, doing this may have lost a few
female viewers as they may not find it
relatable to themselves.
I think people would like to continue to watch
our film after seeing the title sequence as it
leaves you thinking what is going to happen
next. The main character has been killed so
how are the other characters within the film
going to solve this horror mystery. The
audience isn’t sure from the title sequence
whether or not the Cloaked figure will be
caught or if he will go on a killing streak.
Therefore, they will want to carry on watching
to see what happens next.
I think our audience would be satisfied with our
film as it follows the majority of the
conventions and even challenges one. This
might attract more people to watch to see if
this challenge could work in the future. I
believe the audience would be satisfied as it
creates tension, fear and includes weapons and
death. Throughout, the atmosphere is of fear,
which is created through different camera
shots and the non-diegetic sound.
After completing our film, we showed our title
sequence to our audience and we had
successful feedback. Many people said they
thought the sound matched with the sequence
and that they enjoyed it when the continuous
ticking sound increased speed when the
antagonist appeared to confront the
protagonist. They also like the killing at the end
as they said that is what you expect within a
horror film.
To improve our title sequence I think we could
have increased the tempo to create a more
tense atmosphere. We could have included a
female character to fit in with the final girl
theory, however, I think we wanted to
challenge that convention. Finally, I think we
could have created a more eye catching title to
attract the audience. Overall, I think our title
sequence was successful and we would know
how to improve if we did it again.
