Digital technologies provided both advantages and disadvantages in creating and communicating media. Key advantages included enabling filmmaking through equipment like cameras and microphones, and allowing global communication through apps like Facebook and Instagram. However, technologies can also encourage laziness and piracy which hurts filmmakers. In making a film opening, the document discusses how various digital tools were used throughout pre-production, filming, and post-production stages, including computers for planning, phones for communication on set, cameras and microphones for recording, and Apple software like Final Cut Pro and Garageband for editing and original music.
Hello Friends, today in this blog our focus will be on the Stop Motion Software.
As we all know that Stop Motion is an animation technique to bring static objects to life on screen.

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.
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.
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 have you learnt about
technologies from the
process of constructing this
product?
By Gurveer
Birring
2. Advantages and Disadvantages that digital technologies have brought in
terms of the power to create and communicate
Advantages Disadvantages
• One advantage brought to the
public in terms of power to
communicate from digital
technology is that it has allowed
media to have equipment to have
devices and equipment to make
films, videos and TV programs.
• It has allowed people to
communicate as apps such as
Facebook and Instagram were
created for people to communicate
with each other from around the
world from any device.
• A disadvantage of this is that
people are becoming lazier due to
the technology becoming more
advanced and people being able to
do almost everything just by sitting
at home.
• It is very expensive as you have to
buy the equipment such as camera
and microphone.
• People can now illegally download
and watch movies making the film
makers lose out on huge amounts
of money.
3. Before filming (Pre-Production)
Before starting to film we used many digital equipment to get ready for
filming. This included the following;
• We used computers – we used these to do our research and planning for
our film. For example we used google maps to get pictures of the area
where we were going to film and show the house. We also used word on
the computer to type up all our documents and post them onto my blog
on WordPress and completed the location recce and risk assessment etc.
• We used our phones during the process as we had to create a group chat
with our group members on WhatsApp so it was easier for all of us to
communicate. In this, we shared pictures of the storyboard and any other
document we all needed. We also used this for research as it was quicker
than the computers. It was also used to take pictured of the occupants
house which was also shared on the group chat.
4. During Filming
During the time where we filmed the opening, we were highly dependent
on technology as we wouldn't be able to make the film without it. Some of
the equipment we used was;
• Camera – we used the camera to film all the scenes of the film as it was
the only equipment other than our phones which could record a video
on. It was used every time we were filming so we decided to leave it at
the location of the filming as it was easier and we couldn't forget to bring
I as it was always there until the day we had to return it.
• Phone - the phone was used during filming for multiple things. It was
used as a prop when the actress in our opening was getting messages
from an unrecognisable number which was creeping her out. We used
another number to message the phone used in the film. Our third phone
was used to take pictures of the room and of he set up whilst filming as it
was used in some blogs.
• A microphone was used during this process as it was used to record the
voice of the actress at the very start of our opening when the screen is
black and there is a voice over of a girl praying or calling the spirits.
5. After filming (Post production)
We had used a lot of digital technology In this part of the making of the opening
as it had involved a lot of work. We had to do many different things to make our
opening the way it is and that was done on many different platforms. For the
post production we used;
• USB (Flash Drive) – This was used during editing as this allowed us to move
important work back and forth from the apple mac ‘s and the normal
windows computers. We used it to move videos over and also screen shots of
the different moments during editing so we could use it in our blogs. It was
also used to transfer the video clips from the camera to the apple mac’s.
• Apple Mac’s – we used the Apple mac’s to edit the opening as we used an
application called Final Cut Pro which is an editing program and is used to
make films in Hollywood and also independent films. Once the scenes were
in place and the video was all set we needed to add in music.
• Garage Band – As we couldn’t find any suitable copyright music online, we
had to create our own on garage band and we created 2 different pieces of
background music which turned out better than the non copyright music.
