The document discusses three projects created to promote a fictional band: a music video for the song "Be Somebody," a digipak containing album information, and a magazine advertisement. It analyzes how the projects work together to effectively promote the band through a consistent style, representation, and use of visual language like facial expressions, camera angles, lighting, locations, and color palette. The projects aim to represent the band's enigmatic alternative rock style while portraying working class characters striving to succeed through determination.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.

2. Aim
My three projects had one aim which is
to promote a band through 3 products.
Those being a music video, digipak and
magazine advert. I personally believe
that they are all have unity and are
suitable for their purpose, with the
music video being approximately three
minutes long and accompanies the
track ‘Be Somebody’ and the digipak as
it is has four panes and contains the
following information;
-Album name
-Band name
-Song list
-Record label
-Barcode
-Copyright information
-Band website
The magazine advert serves it original
aim also which was to advertise the
album ‘Be Somebody’, doing this by
containing the release date and the
places you can buy the album e.g.
iTunes and Amazon.
If the band was actually real, all of the
three products would be produced by
the record label, for example Domino.
They would be created by the
marketing team and they would use
similar source material to give a
uniform and coherent identity to the
products so it would establish the style
of the band. We, as a group, have tried
to achieve this by making the products
similar through the gloomy, low lit
shots in the music video and images in
the digipak and advert. We have also
created an enigma style to the band by
not including them in the music video
(only the singers mouth) and having
back shots of them on the magazine
advert.
3. Media Language
Between my three products I have used various codes of
visual language, those being…
Facial expression. We kept the facial expressions of the
actors very serious throughout the first part of the music
video as they are trying to achieve something and be
somebody. The actors begin to smile at the end of the music
video as they have achieved their goal.
Body language. The body language in the music video is fairly
relaxed and calm apart from when the dancer falls and she is
in pain. The body language in the advert is also very relaxed,
with the band leaning on trees etc.
Camera angles. Throughout the music video we have used
various different camera angles to show power and
vulnerability, for example when the dancer falls, the camera
angle is high showing vulnerability and when the dancer gets
back up and starts again, the camera angle is high to show
power and prosper.
I have also effectively used mise en scene in the combination
of the music video, digipak and magazine advert.
Objects/props/iconography. In the music video there aren’t
many objects to take representation from however in the
digipak and magazine advert the old, worn out converse
connote that the band aren’t very rich and are relatable to the
majority of young adults today.
Set/location. We spent a fair amount of time deciding the
locations we were going to film at as our characters are
working class, so we needed to represent this through the
location and I believed we achieved this. In the music video
there are recognisable and relatable settings like a house and
office etc. In the digipak and magazine advert the wood and
outdoorsy images add to the enigma style of the band.
Clothing. The characters in the music video have everyday
affordable clothes on which represents that they are working
class.
Colour. We have used a few bright colours in our three
products despite belonging to the alternative rock genre. In
the music video we used a grainy overlay effect but this only
darkened the colour slightly. The digipak has the most colour
out of the three with the CD containing bold oranges and
blues and the magazine advert not really containing much
colour and being the one representing the genre most.
Lighting. Across all three products the lighting is fairly
gloomy and not very bright.
4. Representation/
Image
The way the band is represented in
the three products, it can influence
what fan base they have. target
audience etc.
Alternative rock doesn’t focus on
image instead the focus is more on
the music, so I incorporated this into
my three products. In the music
video the band is not shown, only
the lead signers mouth same for the
digipak. For the magazine advert the
band are featured but their faces and
therefore image is not shown, this
keeps in tie with the enigma feel. By
doing this though the band are not
fulfilling the audiences personal
identification (Uses and Gratification
Theory), but keeps them intrigued to
find out what the band look like,
similar to Daft Punk but not as close
to that level.
In the music video, I have
represented the characters
positively as they are teenage female
working class (dominant social
group) who are aiming to succeed
and make something of themselves.
Overall, we have been effective with
our three products as we have
presented a unified representation
through the connotations we have
constructed through the media
language.
