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.

1. Openings and Genre
Film opening What features in the
film opening
highlighted the
genre?
What was effective
about the film
opening?
What could have been
improved from the
film opening?
The Hunger Games
Thriller/adventure
Screaming; brings the
audience back to
reality and not of the
nightmare
Dark, dull colours –
suggests dark themes
throughout the film,
and poverty
Costumes – implies the
film is set in the future.
Introduced the plot to
the audience and made
them question why the
main character was
leaving the house at
that time of day.
Music could’ve been
used to help alongside
the narrative, and make
the film opening more
tense and suspenseful.
Psycho
Psychological Thriller
Loud, high pitch non
diegetic music – makes
the audience feel
suspense.
Zooming in to the
apartment window –
creates tension, on
what’s about to happen
The opening created a
tense atmosphere
amongst the audience
by using the loud, high
pitched music in the
background. The film
also did this by using
zooming shots
The opening didn’t
show any main
characters and there
wasn’t any narrative,
so to improve the
opening, they could
add these two features
in.
Sherlock Holmes
Action Thriller
Fast pace music –
builds tension
The use of the
magnifying glass,
suggests that this is a
detective crime thriller.
Costumes – maybe the
Victorian times
The opening
introduced a lot of
character,as well as the
setting of the time
period that this film is
set in.
This opening was very
good and there wasn’t
much to fault. However
a better introduction to
Sherlock Holmes
might’ve been better.
The Notebook
Romance
Sunset – a thing of
beauty. Creates a
romantic setting and a
feel of love.
Non diegetic piano
music – calming music
with makes the
audience feelrelaxed
and gives a sense of
romance
Typical conventions
are shown in this film
opening – the sunset, a
couple sitting together
in a boat in the sea. All
this makes the
audience feelrelaxed.
The colour scheme of
red and black can cause
some contrast. When
together they imply a
sense of evil;
juxtaposing the initial
genre and conventions
of a romance film.
Eternal Sunshine of
the Spotless Mind
Romance
The character talks
about loneliness
making the audience
empathise with him.
There is peaceful no
diegetic music which
helps with the
narrative.
The film opening
introduced the main
character and gave the
audience an insight of
what his life has been
like. The use of the
slow, peacefulmusic
makes the audience
feel calm.
Similarly with ‘The
Notebook’ the colours
used don’t justify the
warm colours which
the audience would
relate to love and
romance.
2. Titles and Credits
LO: to analyse howfilm titles and credits are presented in the opening two minutes ofa film.
Starter: to begin the lesson we had to say what we expect from the opening two minutes of a film and
how this varies depending on the genre of the film.

The taxi and police
cars:suggests this film
could be of the crime
genre.
What information
from the common
opening sequence
does the film use?
Why?
The crew names and
production company
gives a feelof the film for
viewers.
The use of Adele for the
music not only gives her
a promotion but also
hypes the audience up.
Title: only the title
features in this
opening, so the
audience don’t expect
much from it.
This is the first in a
series of film.

‘DreamWorks’. a well
known company will
raise the audiences
expectations of the
film.
The Cast and
‘Spielberg’s’ name:
again raises
expectations of the
audience.
Howis this
information
conveyed to us?
Mise-en-scene:the is
blood and guns which
connotes violence and
danger, making the
audience feelexcited
however at the same time,
fearful of what might
happen in the film.
The diegetic sounds,
the camera shaking and
the voice over all
shows that this was a
rough part of American
History, and we would
also expect violence
from this film. The
V.O. also sets the
scene.
Continuous movement
of shots, showing a
character running away
from another.
There is also some
tense,suspenseful
music which implies
crime.
