The document discusses how the film "No Evidence" uses, develops, and challenges conventions of thriller films. It uses conventions such as a male protagonist and antagonist, and applies Vladimir Propp's character archetypes of the villain, helper, and hero. It develops conventions by including a homosexual character, a controversial topic. It challenges conventions by using an unconventional "weapon" - a razor used to gather evidence rather than hurt people.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

The villain: Locked in a constant struggle with the hero, often trying to harm princess.
The villain in my Thriller film would be Brunning
The helper: Assists the hero with their quest, often referred to as their 'sidekick'.
The Police officer would be the sidekick because he gets John into the prison for his
objective to gather the evidence
Hero: Reacts to the donor and saves the princess, often resulting in them falling in love
with the princess.
The hero in the film would be John because he manages to gather gather the evidence
needed to convict Brunning of his crimes
Theories that apply to no evidence

also that the police officer was on John’s side all along and working with him to build his case
This is a very common thriller film conventions as shown byThe imitation game
This decision to include a male antagonist was also influenced by target audience research in order to make the film more interested
and for it to have a more developed and exciting plot that could lead our audience gripped throughout the whole film.
7. Developing thriller film conventions Homosexuality
An example of where my short film develops thriller film conventions is by the use Homosexuality.This topic is a very
controversial topic and can be dependent of the way a director or producer portrays the character or situation. It is becoming
more widely accepted and is more commonly shown on screen.
In ‘No Evidence’ it is clear that Brunning is a homosexual as he said “I touched the boy”.This also makes him a paedophile.
I can use the example of the imitation game as a film that also includes a homosexual man as AlanTuring is the lead fictional
character who is opening gay man
8. Challenging thriller film conventions Weapon
‘No Evidence’ challenges Thriller Film conventions with the use of a possible weapon of the razor (pictured above) to shave
Brunning. Weapons are a commonly used convention in thriller films and can range from a number of objects such as
guns, swords or even objects for the protagonist to defeat the antagonist.
Although the razor itself is not used as a weapon to hurt people it can be said it is a weapon as it is used to gather the
evidence to convict Brunning of his crimes and therefore defeating him.
