The student worked with a team of four on a film project. They created storyboards and did practice runs to plan the sequence. They used a Canon HD camera, tripod, Adobe Premiere software, and LaCie drive to complete the filming and editing. Some challenges included balancing schedules and learning to use the new technology. Overall the sequence was successful and completed ahead of schedule. The student learned new camera, editing, and filmmaking skills through this project.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
2. Who did you work with and how did
you manage the tasks between you?
TEAM MEMBERS: Courtney, Joe, Susan;
TIME MANAGEMENT: Main roles: Joe and Susan
where the actor and actress, Courtney was in charge
of the camera, and I undertook the editing.
TIMES & SCHEDUALS: Any time we got after school or
within school ours we was working on our prelim task.
TIME MANAGEMENT ISSUES: In a whole we didn’t
have many issues besides trying to balance out when
everyone was free and able to work. In a whole we
was a very strong team and didn’t come across as
many group issues besides balancing out timings.
3. How did you plan your sequence?
What process did you use?
• STORY BOARDS
• PRACTICAL RUNS
• The way we planned out our sequence was through the
use of story boards and practical runs.
Story boards; This was done on a A3 sheet, we wrote done
the name of the shot, angles that was going to be used
and we drew up a small picture, which was there to
demonstrate how we wanted the shot to look.
After we created our storyboards; to help our
understanding of the scene more, we undertook practical
runs. What this means is that we role played the exact
scene several times; so by the end we all knew exactly
what our roles are.
4. What technology did you use to
complete the task, and how did you
use it?• CANON HD CAMERA
• TRIPOD
• ADOBE PREMIERE SOFTWARE
• LACIE
We uses various types of technology which helped us create our prelim.
We all had the opportunity to use ever single one; Canon HD
camera, tripod, adobe premiere software and the LaCie drive. We uses the
tripod to help us keep the camera levelled , so we attached it to the Cannon
HD camera to record each of our sequels. Once everything was recorded we
transferred it to the LaCie drive and then the clips were ready to be put
together. So then we used the software Adobe premiere to help us edit the
clips.
Through just the use of the camera as an individual I learnt how to use the
basic functions such as recording, different camera effects E.g. Slow
zoom, panning the actor etc. I learnt many new digital camera tricks and
techniques, from abstracts to zoom bursts, I also then learnt how to use
Adobe Premiere which is great for enhancing and adding effects to your
clips.
5. Factors taken into account when
planning, shooting and editing?
• TIME & SCHEDUALS
• LOCATION
• TEAM MEMBERS
• LIGHTING
• SOUND CONTROL
When filming there are many factors that need to be taken into
consideration, such as; every team members schedule timings. Everyone
needs to be free in order for the recording to take place. We also need to
make sure it’s the right time to record, so no non-cast get in the way of the
camera etc. This also effect sound control if too many people are around the
time you start recording, they will then be heard in the clip. You also have to
take into account team member needs, if you have a happy group your work
and enthusiasm will boost up. Locations is a very vital factor when
recording, the location gives off a setting of the clip, as we used a classroom
you get the impression that the invitation was given within the school
premise.
6. How successful was your sequence?
* Was successful as we completed it earlier than expected.
* Improvements: More editing done to the intro and ending text.
* Would have tried to not waste as much time on learning how to use
the camera and just got on with it.
I believe our sequence was successful, considering we had a short
amount of time to complete it. Also, we finished earlier than we
expected to, which allowed us extra time on the editing. However, as
with any task, improvements could have been made. We could have
made more improvements to the introduction and ending text. We
could have edited them to come in to the movie through special
effects or even added in sound effects
If we could re-do this prelim I would work around the fact we was
still trying to get used to the camera and the tripod, this would have
allowed us to take more shots which we could have used.
7. What have you learnt from
completing the task?
* Enhanced camera work skills
* Gained skills on how to use the tripod, LaCie drive, Adobe Premium
* Enhanced film editing skills
* Learnt how to work around a given setting
Throughout this whole task I have gained and enhanced many skills. I have gained
skills on how to use a tripod and a LaCie drive. I also learnt how to use a software
that I was completely new to, known as the Adobe Premium; this software allows
you to make edits and any changes to clips of your choice. I also learnt how to work
around a given setting or location; this will be useful later onwards as our team
members will grasp how to use our surroundings within out scenes quicker.
As a whole group we all played and individual management role; we all had an
input and we worked as a group to accomplish this task. We all made sure we stayed
as organised as we could with time and the workload. So everyone kept to their
scripts and roles, this allowed us to get through the recording quicker; which left us a
good amount of time for the editing. If we had another shot at this prelim I think as
a group we would have wanted to edit the sequel a bit more.
8. Post production - What did you learn
about the editing process?
* Dragging scenes
* Dragging voice clips
* Cutting scenes
* Cropping the clip
* Special effects
* Adding text
Through the editing process I grasped many new skills such as how to crop, extend
and drag the clip and the voice clips. I also learnt how to make certain parts of the
movie into slow motion and slow down the sound. On top of all this I also learnt how
to connect one clip to the other so it is a clean cut and flows well. The way we made
decisions whilst editing was first putting everything in order and deciding as a group
what went well and what needed to be changed, once the whole group was happy
we saved it and created it into a short film. We had an hour to edit the whole
clip, and in that hour no time was wasted, got straight into our task and we finished
it earlier than expected.
Strengths of this task were figuring out how the software works, how special
effects such as slow motion can be added into the clip. The weakness mostly was the
lack of knowledge we had, as it was our first times using the Adobe Premier
software. If this task could be done again I would most defiantly add more editing
features onto the sequel.
Editor's Notes
My group was made up of four people in total including me, I worked alongside Courtney, Joe and Susan. We all was given individual tasks; our main roles where me doing the editing, Courtney under camera control and Joe and Susan as the actor and actress; even though we was given certain roles we still had an equal input. The way we organised our times and schedules was based on our timetables. So every lesson we had together we would undertake the filming or the editing; we even took out an hour of our own time after school in order to make sure we completed our set aim to finish our prelim. As with any tasks you come across a few issues; in our cases the main problem was that we found it difficult to balance out our times due to absences. However, in a whole our group had strong team members therefore we tackled this issue by making sure if any absences did occur they would make up for it by doing the editing. Also, considering this was some of our first time we did come across still trying to get used to using the equipment, so this lost time. Our main weakness was time control as we didn’t manage our time well enough. However, we made up for this through our editing skills. If we had another shot at this the thing we would do differently is make sure we made more free time to film as we did have to rush the filming due to the lack of time.
