The document discusses how the student's media project uses and develops conventions of real music videos. It summarizes how the student's music video uses a variety of shots and unique camera techniques like green screen and shadows to retain viewer attention, while also developing conventions by adding more medium shots and portraying the artist as passionate about the music. It then compares the student's magazine advert and digipak to the music video by discussing how they maintain branding elements like neon colors and lasers to achieve professional, attention-grabbing designs that clearly identify the artist's genre.

Empowering the Data Analytics Ecosystem: A Laser Focus on Value
The data analytics ecosystem thrives when every component functions at its peak, unlocking the true potential of data. Here's a laser focus on key areas for an empowered ecosystem:
1. Democratize Access, Not Data:
Granular Access Controls: Provide users with self-service tools tailored to their specific needs, preventing data overload and misuse.
Data Catalogs: Implement robust data catalogs for easy discovery and understanding of available data sources.
2. Foster Collaboration with Clear Roles:
Data Mesh Architecture: Break down data silos by creating a distributed data ownership model with clear ownership and responsibilities.
Collaborative Workspaces: Utilize interactive platforms where data scientists, analysts, and domain experts can work seamlessly together.
3. Leverage Advanced Analytics Strategically:
AI-powered Automation: Automate repetitive tasks like data cleaning and feature engineering, freeing up data talent for higher-level analysis.
Right-Tool Selection: Strategically choose the most effective advanced analytics techniques (e.g., AI, ML) based on specific business problems.
4. Prioritize Data Quality with Automation:
Automated Data Validation: Implement automated data quality checks to identify and rectify errors at the source, minimizing downstream issues.
Data Lineage Tracking: Track the flow of data throughout the ecosystem, ensuring transparency and facilitating root cause analysis for errors.
5. Cultivate a Data-Driven Mindset:
Metrics-Driven Performance Management: Align KPIs and performance metrics with data-driven insights to ensure actionable decision making.
Data Storytelling Workshops: Equip stakeholders with the skills to translate complex data findings into compelling narratives that drive action.
Benefits of a Precise Ecosystem:
Sharpened Focus: Precise access and clear roles ensure everyone works with the most relevant data, maximizing efficiency.
Actionable Insights: Strategic analytics and automated quality checks lead to more reliable and actionable data insights.
Continuous Improvement: Data-driven performance management fosters a culture of learning and continuous improvement.
Sustainable Growth: Empowered by data, organizations can make informed decisions to drive sustainable growth and innovation.
By focusing on these precise actions, organizations can create an empowered data analytics ecosystem that delivers real value by driving data-driven decisions and maximizing the return on their data investment.
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.
As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.
2. How does your media product use, develop or challenge
forms and conventions of real media products?
Mise en scene:
Explanation:
Our music video have used a large variety of different base tracks, which
seems to be a common theme within the Pop Rock genre. I believe that
we have both used it, and developed this convection as instead of just
having simple location performance, we added unique shots. This
development was done because we wanted to represent our artist
quirky, and decided against having a dance within the video. By using a
variety of unique shots, I believe we were able to retain the attention of
the viewers. This affect was achieved by using green screen and shadow
manipulation. The main idea behind the Mise en Scene, was to attract
the audience to want and see more of the video as it continue.
3. Comparison to real music video:
The original video uses a lot of close up shots of the artist, and we
seem to follow the same theme. We didn’t want to be copying the
original video so we decided add more medium shots and make the
artist more “passionate about the music” The original video uses a
lot of lasers and bright blue lights. Originally we planned to also
include lasers, however we were usable to make enough usable
footage so we decided not to use it anyway. Even though our video
has some similarities to the original one, I believe the changes we
made along with the rebranding of the artist was successful.
4. Magazine advert
Colour correction:
The main convection that we have used
in our magazine advert is the colour
correction, which has allowed us to
create a really “popping” image. The
poster is really bright which attracts
a lot of attention, and would stand
out in the crown. We decided to stick
to the same neon colour and lasers as
were used in the digipak and video.
By using simplistic design and
appropriate font, we were able to
achieve a professional look. By
looking at the poster, you can clearly
identify the genre of the artist .
5. Digipak
While creating the digipak we
were trying to achieve a very
quirky and hyper-real feel to it.
We decided to follow the
theme which we established in
the video with all the different
neon colours and dim lighting.
By using the silhouette of the
artist we were able to achieve a
mysterious effect which clearly
shows style. You can easily
associate neon colours and
lasers to the artist as it has
strong branding.
