Analysis of emalkay
The document discusses the music video "Emalkay - Fabrication". It begins with a man walking into a building to establish the setting. Dark colors and strobe lights are used to focus on the character and elements of the narrative. The video tells a story through visuals that sync with the song lyrics. It is classified as a "non-performance piece" by Joe Gow's genres of music video since it does not contain a performance of the song but instead uses narrative.

Analysis of modestep sunlight
The music video for Modestep's "Sunlight" features both a studio performance and narrative sections that contradict stereotypes about the daily activities of elderly people, such as drinking and taking drugs. Not all of Modestep's music videos include full narratives, only their highest-rated tracks that are predicted to get enough views and sales to justify the budget.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.

Mixmag contents page 2 analysis
- 1. Main Image Although there are other images on the contents page which invite the reader to continue reading the magazine, the main image is the most attractive. Personally I think this picture has been used to emphasise a certain theme of youth and recent music culture. The fact that ‘ Don’t stay in! Go out! Have fun!’ has been used alongside the photograph, connects the quote to the image. This image relates to the ‘Don’t Stay In!’ sub-heading feature of the contents page. Regular features that appear in a magazine refers to furniture, also used to mean the graphic devices used to indicate differing sections of the magazine or a page. Skyline The skyline runs across the top of the page. For ‘Mixmag’ the skyline displays the name of the music magazine, the month and year of the issue and ‘contents’ to instruct the readers that this is the contents page. Also, the skyline uses all different fonts which has been primarily used to add creativity to make it more appealing to the target audience. Columns ‘ Mixmag’s’ contents page is on a double-page spread which consists of two pages. It features one column; flush left which compliments the layout and design of the music magazine. Sub Headings Sub-headings of the magazine are classed under fashion, tunes, tech, Don’t Stay In! and regulars. This indicates that editors of the magazine have researched on what kind of subjects to include so that readers can be attracted; ‘fashion’ may be targeted at readers who are interested in the latest trends, ‘tunes’ may be targeted at readers who are particularly interested in the music industry, which is one of the main features in a music magazine. ‘Tech’ may be targeted at readers who have an interest of technology, ‘Don’t Stay In! suggests this is not a regular feature of the music magazine but is an advertisement and ‘regulars’ may be targeted at regular monthly readers who are used to the house style and features. ‘Big questions’ included under the ‘regulars’ sub-heading suggests an agony column; a regular feature where reader’s letters about personal problems are answered. Usually written by an agony aunt but there are some agony uncles. Other features Alternative features such as a small copy of ‘Mixmag’s’ front cover contributes to the layout of the contents page. The image is presented under ‘contents’ which suggests it is reflecting the front cover to the content page. Display advertising is another feature of ‘Mixmag’, advertisements in which large type or images are used to attract the reader’s attention in distinction of classified advertising. One of the images links to the ‘fashion’ section of the magazine, whereas the other links to the ‘tunes’ section of the magazine. ‘Mixmag’ has also used the white on black effect which increases the contrast of the images and highlights the fonts and colours used.
