LOVEFIELD is a 2008 short horror/suspense/drama film directed by Mathieu Ratthe about a man who finds a screaming woman in a wheat field. The film uses elements like unrevealing camera shots, tense music, and lack of dialogue to build suspense around what is happening. It challenges expectations by revealing that the man, initially made to seem suspicious, is actually a kind farmer helping with the woman's childbirth. The film shows that people should not judge by appearances and that not everything is as it first seems.

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. By Lauren James Genre: Horror/Suspense/Drama Year: 2008 Director: Mathieu Ratthe Writer: Mathieu Ratthe Editor: Mathieu Ratthe Producer: Mathieu Ratthe Cast: Pierre Lebeau, Bianca Gervais Run time: 5mins 29secs Funded by: Matt Ratt Productions Brief Synopsis: LOVEFIELD combines elements of horror, suspense and drama to create a story that takes the audience on a roller coaster of emotions.
2. Camera Establishing shot – iconic image – wheat field, relates back to Ridley Scott's 'Gladiator'. Focus blurs, slow movements – builds the tension. Pull focus between the man and the crow – long takes. Camera manipulation.
3. Framing Usually the man is in the middle of the screen – he's the focal point of the short film – told from his POV. Rule of thirds – in the picture, when he stands up and looks around, it's to show how secluded the area is – the character is isolated. The frame is wide – to show the location better. The director has chosen not to show the woman in the frame at the beginning, to keep the suspense going.
4. Mise-en-scene (Including location) Props – phone, money, bin bag. Clothes/Make-up – Dungaree's and baseball cap. Greasy, sweaty man – already looks suspicious. Lighting – Cloudy sky at the beginning. Sunny sky at the end. Location – Wheat field – intertextuality. Crow – connotation of bad things about to happen.
5. Sound Sound plays an important part in this short film. Welcome sign – creaking noises – builds the suspense – horror convention. Phone beeping – another horror convention, showing the call hasn't worked. Diegetic woman screaming – you cannot see her, so your imagination runs wild. Non diegetic music – long, tense violin chords – builds tension. Ending soft music – John Williams.
6. Editing Fade transitions – wheat images mould together slowly. Editing and sound work crucially together.
7. Script & Narrative Hardly any dialogue – just at the end - “It's a boy.” The director didn't have any dialogue in the beginning – just the woman screaming. The narrative is being told by the man's POV. The story is centred around what's happening to him, so the characters play a vital part. The audience will understand the narrative when the baby is revealed – putting all the clues together.
8. Titles/Institutional Reference Simple font – names in capital letters. Black screen, white writing. Fades in from the middle word. Doesn't represent the film - represents the director – all his work have the same titles .
9. Genre specific elements; codes and conventions Horror – Music. Crow. Number 13. Creaking noises. Blood. Knife. Skull Tattoo. Suspense – Music. Unrevealing camera shots. Build up in the narrative. Drama – Child birth. Police intervention.
10. Representations Context – present day – mobile phones, police cars, tractors. The micro elements build up the man to look like a villain – the bloody knife, etc. The film challenges stereotypes – evil rapist is in fact kind, helpful farmer. Gender – men represented, in the end, as the saviours.
11. Audience The audience in the film is being represented by the crow – at the end, when the man places the blanket over the camera – the crow mimics the audience expression. The target audience could range from any person to any age – parental guidance maybe for the beginning. The audience would respond positively to this short film because of the happy ending. The audience is being asked to identify with the man. The audience would also have to be computer owners.
12. Themes and Messages. Idea Generation/Reflection Are “ Don't judge a book by it's cover.” - Everything is not as it seems This short film really impressed me. Unexpected twist ending. Mathieu Ratthe is a director to watch – The Talisman. The film relies heavily on camera, editing and sound tricks because of limited budget but it's just as good as a big Hollywood production.
