Here are the key tools I would recommend for your comedy silent film project:
- A digital video camera that can shoot in black and white - Many modern cameras have filters to achieve a black and white "vintage" look.
- Basic lighting equipment - Lights are essential for shooting without sound to clearly see facial expressions and physical comedy.
- Editing software - You'll need software like Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere to assemble your silent film. Look for titles/effects that enhance the silent era aesthetic.
- Sound design software - While it's a silent film, basic sound effects and a score will enhance the viewing experience. Audacity is a free, basic option.
- Storyboarding

The purpose of the horror genre is to elicit fear, panic, and alarm in viewers by putting them on the edge of their seats wondering what will happen next. Sound is particularly effective at creating a sense of fear through sharp, high-pitched noises. Horror films often center around some change in circumstances that sets the story in motion, such as a person moving to a new neighborhood. The Purge is used as an example of how one event, such as all laws being suspended for 12 hours, can lead to generic horror conventions like death and violence. Viewers enjoy horror films because they like seeing the protagonist succeed against tough odds while experiencing fear and panic along with the characters. Descent shows a group endangered by blind,

It discusses gathering an audience's attention, providing context, outlining an argument's thesis and parts, making and supporting claims, refuting counterarguments, and closing with a compelling appeal. An example debate topic on nuclear weapons possession is used to illustrate how to plan an argument by identifying knowledge gaps, structuring an outline with classical elements, and determining the most persuasive reasons and evidence for the intended audience. The key is to understand an audience and frame an argument in a way that convinces others they already agree with one's position.

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.
