Chloe Collins discusses how her film opening uses, develops, and challenges conventions of the media genre. She inserts logos of real production companies to make it seem realistic. Pictures of the vampire character Luca show horror conventions like a cape and blood. Comedy is incorporated through Luca's slippers. The location challenges expectations by being a modern house. It is filmed at dusk to incorporate horror elements. Character names at the end mimic real films. Introductory text establishes it as a documentary, relating to What We Do In The Shadows. Overall, it blends horror and comedy conventions while challenging expectations through modern elements.

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.
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

In what ways does your products use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products
1. QUESTION 1: IN WHAT WAYS
DOES YOUR PRODUCT USE,
DEVELOP OR CHALLENGE
FORMS AND CONVENTIONS OF
Chloe Collins
2. In my film opening I have inserted
certain distribution/production
companies in order to have a more
realistic effect. I have also chosen
Metrodome Distribution and Funny or
Die in particular as they distribute the
kind of films that I have made myself. I
found this out as What we do in the
Shadows was distributed by
Metrodome Distribution and produced
by Funny or Die.
3. By making and adding my own
production logo means my film
looks more professional and
realistic. Therefore knowing
who made the film. I made this
on LogoMaker.
4. For this I have put a picture of Luca
as a vampire in this shows a
convention of my genre relating to
one half which is horror, we can
see this through his costume
(vampire cape), make up (blood
coming from his mouth, darkness
around the eyes and vampire
teeth). My audience are likely to be
looking out for these main signs
when they know they are going to
be watching a horror about
vampires. Stereotypically we all
think of a vampire as a person that
has a black cape, fangs and blood
coming from their mouth this is
why I have included these aspects
in order to make it clear to the
audience. The costume has also
been inspired with how they
dressed the characters in What we
5. I have added within the costume the slippers
this is the only part of the costume that
makes the film funny. I have added these to
tone down the film so it’s not too serious at
that point with the slippers it looks like he
isn’t taking ‘being a vampire’ very seriously
therefore wanting a more humorous effect
from the audience as he is trying in the clip
to be serious. This is then made obvious to
the audience that the film is also comical.
This also matches with parts of What we do
in the Shadows which I have inserted a
picture underneath Lucas Slippers.
6. This clip is fairly early on in the
film opening, this is before Luca
is even seen. I think this is most
likely one of the funniest scenes
as it shows there is something
wrong to the audience before
they even see what it is. The
expressions on their face and
the drop of the cutlery show the
funnier side and the first sign to
the audience that it’s not a
serious horror film. I have then
shown this at a point in What we
do in the shadows that is similar
to mine where something funny
is also going on at the table.
This links to the comedy side of
the genre.
7. The location of the film
opening shows how it’s a
documentary style rather
than a film. This is known
straight away. Also telling
the audience that it’s a
modern day documentary
to fit my target audience.
This then follows and fits
nicely with my actors as
they are young and
modern. I think this
challenges my media genre
as the style of the location
may not be what you would
of imaged stereotypically
when you think of a horror.
Then again with the
comedy side it fits in
better.
Although What we do in the Shadows is set in
a house I have used a more modern/normal
house as it is better suited to my target
audience and looks normal as half of the
characters in my film opening aren’t
vampires.
8. I have chosen to film it when it
was going dark which you can
see in this picture, this was to
get the effect of the horror side
as stereotypically horrors are
filmed at night. Again
incorporated with an actual
film like What we do in the
Shadows is filmed/set night. I
believe that this setting uses
my media genre well.
9. Here I have put a picture of each
character in with the actors name next
to it. I believe this represents a real
media film as obvious they show the
names of the characters. I have placed
this at the end as Luca is dressed as a
vampire so by putting it at the start
would of given the whole thing away,
also as the actors aren’t well known I
have placed them by the end so the
audience aren’t put off it. By the font, I
represented the genre of horror.
10. I have added a piece of writing
to my film opening to show
the documentary style. This
then proceeds to say what
they have done to film this
and what the audience will be
experiencing if they watch the
film. This relates to What we
do in the Shadows as they also
have the writing telling the
audience about what they are
about to watch.
