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.

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.

Evaluation Question 2
1. 2. HOW EFFECTIVE IS THE
COMBINATION OF YOUR MAIN
PRODUCT AND THE ANCILLARY
TEXTS?
BY MELISSA MINSHULL
2. WHAT DID WE TRY TO ACHIEVE IN OUR
MAIN PRODUCT?
• For our main product we wanted to achieve a film with a twist at the end
that would catch audiences off guard despite being subtly hinted at
throughout the film, and that would highlight the struggles of mental
illness.
• We tried to do this by showing Charlotte’s face before the gun shot,
showing Charlotte appearing in each room despite never seeing her leave
the previous one like when Georgie leaves Charlotte in the bathroom yet is
sat at the table downstairs. This hints at the final twist which reveals that
Charlotte is a figment of Georgie's mental illness.
• I feel like this worked well as when we asked people whether they enjoyed
and understood the film the answer was an overwhelming yes and when
talking to friends after watching the film they asked if we meant to
foreshadow the ending as he only noticed the hints after watching so the
ending still caught him off guard.
3. HOW DID OUR MAIN AIM REFLECT IN OUR
ADVERTISING PRODUCTS?
• When designing our posters we decided that we only wanted to hint at the plot of the film
so that we wouldn’t give away the twist at the end and to intrigue the audience into
watching our film.
• We did this by creating a teaser poster and a main poster. The teaser poster features
Georgie facing away from the camera peering around a tree. The fact that we don’t see her
face creates a sense of mystery as to who she is and the fact that she is peering around
the tree suggests she’s hiding from something and that something is wrong.
• The final poster also features this shot of Georgie but in the foreground is Charlotte
looking into the distance, this was created by stitching two shots together. The colours in
this poster are more saturated than in the teaser poster to exaggerate the green and
brown theme indicating the army, the contrast was also heightened to make the picture
darker to hint at the darker themes of the film. The fact that they are hiding behind the
tree suggests that they are in danger. The title itself hints at what the film is about, the
aftermath of the pictured situation. The title is in the centre of the poster to indicate that it
is an important piece of information. I chose the font as it looks formal yet it isn’t too bold
matching the tone of our film which is more about subtlety. We used white as it contrasts
with the darker background image as does the flashback with the main film. The names at
the top are all uniform indicating routine and order as there would be in the army.

4. HOW EFFECTIVE IS THE FILM POSTER IN
SELLING THE FILM?
• Posters are an effective way of selling a film as they can be shared world wide
on billboards, buses, buildings, and online adverts. These are all things that
most people see everyday meaning that the message of the film will be
spread effectively. They can also be shared around social media sites such as
Twitter and Facebook which would create hype for the film and raise
awareness to a larger audience than could be reached with other forms of
marketing. Cinemas also display posters to advertise upcoming releases
which means more people go and see the films.
• As posters are so popular we wanted ours to stand out from the crowd. To
achieve this we researched what posters in our chosen genres looked like as
we wanted to actively portray our genre but also stand out. During research I
discovered that often posters for films in the drama genre often feature the
characters but also often doesn’t show their faces, such as the poster for The
Fleeting Little Life of Peter Wright which features the backs of the two main
characters. The colours on the poster are both bright and subtle at the same
time and the text is simple which helped to inspire our poster.
5. WHAT MAKES OUR FILM POSTER DIFFERENT
TO ANY OTHER?
• After looking into film posters, specifically the poster for The Fleeting Little
Life of Peter Wright, I decided that I liked the fact that the poster was simple
and ambiguous. I decided to put my own twist on this by stitching two shots
together to get both characters in the poster, one with their back turned to
the camera and the other facing the camera showing her face to keep it
ambiguous. This is unique a s usually either both characters are facing the
camera or neither are. However we didn’t want it to be too ambiguous as
that might have a negative effect on views. To counteract this we included
positive critics reviews to show the audience that it is a good film that they
might enjoy. These were written in a different but similar font to draw
attention to them and to make sure they were read. This is also unique as
usually the critics reviews are in the same font as the rest of the poster

7. WHY ARE RADIO TRAILERS AN EFFECTIVE
FORM OF ADVERTISEMENT?
• Radio trailers are no longer than a minute long. As they are so short they also have to be
straight to the point to convey the information. The contain music and dialogue from the
film they are advertising alongside a voice over giving details about the film such as
actors, star cast, critic reviews, and when and where it will be available. As the name
suggests they are most commonly found on the radio but can also be heard in other
places such as music streaming sites like Spotify. This means that the radio trailers reach
a wide demographic due to the multiple types of radio stations and the wide accessibility
of music streaming services.
• In our radio trailer we included the music from the flashback scene as well as the sounds
of combat as it created suspense and intrigue, whilst also setting the scene of where the
tragedy. We also included dialogue from the bathroom scene and the table scene which
hint at Georgie’s mental health issues along side a recording of Jasmine giving the
information about the film. We felt that our radio trailer gave enough information to
capture an audience whilst not giving away the twist at the end whilst also giving them
enough information so that they can find and watch the film.
8. OVERALL SUCCESS OF OUR ANCILLARY
TEXTS
• Overall I feel that our ancillary texts are successful at spreading awareness of
our short film to a wider demographic than would be possible with just the short
film. This is because they can be shared easily across social media and other
more conventional platforms. I also feel that that the ancillary texts are effective
in portraying the genre of our film and what to expect when watching it. This is
backed up by the fact that when receiving feedback on the ancillary texts we
were told that “It told [them] what to expect whilst not giving everything away.
• The fact that the radio trailer and the poster contrast in how they are consumed
means that they can be spread even further than if they were both visual or both
audial. This is because as they are both different they appear in different places
where different people will encounter them.
• I also feel the poster, radio trailer and film link together well as they all have
common themes of subtle darkness and combat (both physical and internal).
