Media theorists
The document summarizes the narrative structure theories of Todorov and Propp. Todorov's theory includes five stages: equilibrium, disruption, recognition of disruption, attempt to repair disruption, and return to a new equilibrium.

Examples are given of how these theories can be applied to analyze stories and characters. Claude Levi-Strauss is also mentioned for his structuralist approach to analyzing myths based on binary oppositions like good vs evil.
Propp's Character Theory
Vladimir Propp analyzed folk tales and identified 8 main character types that help move the narrative forward. These include the hero, villain, donor, dispatcher, false hero, helper, princess/prize, and her father. Propp argued we should view characters by their narrative function rather than as real people. The document then discusses how some of these character types, such as the hero, villain, donor, and helper, apply to the horror genre and film The Conjuring specifically.

Cinder plot notes.pdf
Plot is the sequence of events that make up a story and includes exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. Exposition introduces characters and the setting, and establishes the main conflict. In Cinderella, the characters are introduced and the conflict is that Cinderella's step-family won't let her attend the prince's ball to choose a bride. The rising action builds suspense as Cinderella's fairy godmother helps her go to the ball. At the climax, Cinderella flees the ball at midnight and loses her glass slipper. In the falling action, the prince uses the slipper to find Cinderella, and in the resolution, Cinderella tries on the slip

The document discusses various narrative theories and how they apply to a storybook called "The Loaf of Bread Man". It summarizes Vladimir Propp's character archetypes and identifies the hero, villain, and prize in the story. It also discusses Tzvetan Todorov's theory of narrative equilibrium and Claude Levi-Strauss's theory of binary opposition. Finally, it outlines different types of narrative structures like open/closed, single/multi-strand, linear/non-linear, and realist/anti-realist and provides examples of each.

3. Action Adventure year 11
This document discusses narrative theories and character types for action adventure films. It outlines Tzvetan Todorov's narrative theory of equilibrium, disequilibrium, and new equilibrium. It also discusses Vladimir Propp's theory of character archetypes like the hero, villain, princess, donor, dispatcher, and helper. Examples are provided of how to apply these theories by analyzing the narrative structure and characters in films like Spiderman 2. The document provides guidance on identifying these classic narrative and character elements in action adventure genres.
Graphic Narrative
Vladimir Propp analyzed 100 Russian folk tales and identified common narrative components, which he organized into a theory. He identified 8 character types that frequently appear: the villain, helper, princess/prize, father, donor, hero, false hero, and dispatcher. Propp's analysis found that tales share a common structure involving an equilibrium that is disrupted, a hero's journey to restore equilibrium, and a new conclusion/equilibrium. His work established structuralism in folklore and narrative studies.
Narrative theory powerpoint
The document discusses various narrative theory concepts including:
- The hero is typically the main character who has a goal that drives the plot. In the story of "The Elves and the Shoemaker", the elves could be considered the heroes as they help the shoemaker out of poverty.
- A villain opposes or prevents the hero from achieving their goal. In this story, the only villain is the shoemaker's poverty.
- The prize is what the hero achieves by completing their quest, which in this story could be defined as helping the shoemaker.
- A donor gives the hero assistance, like the elves do by making shoes for the shoemaker. The document analy
Meaning theory pro forma
Kanan and Erza engage in an intense fight with Darth Vader and Storm Troopers. The costumes, camera angles, and dark color scheme are used to portray Darth Vader as the imposing antagonist through imposing shots and dark colors. The fight features laser weapons and lightsabers with a bombastic musical score that builds tension. Though the heroes believe they have defeated Darth Vader, he rises again at the end, forcing them to retreat and cementing his power over them.
Meaning theory pro forma
The document provides definitions and examples of various concepts related to film analysis. It defines denotation and connotation for the terms "snake," "flag," and "gun." It also summarizes three movie posters, discussing visual elements and what they imply about the main characters and plots. Further sections define soundtracks, stereotypes, iconography for different genres, and linear and non-linear narratives. One section analyzes a clip showing the dark villain Darth Vader as a stronger opponent than the allies dressed in brighter clothing.
Theory meaning
The document discusses various concepts related to film analysis including:
- The use of color in film posters to convey meaning, with examples from Tangled and Snow White. Blue and yellow typically suggest good characters while dark colors like black suggest evil ones.
- How icons and stereotypes are used in different genres, with Western films typically featuring towns, cowboys, and shootouts, and sci-fi films featuring spaceships, aliens, and advanced weapons.
- The difference between a linear narrative that tells a story chronologically versus a non-linear one that uses flashbacks and flashforwards, citing Cinderella and Pulp Fiction as examples.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
