Film studies as an academic discipline emerged in the twentieth century, decades after the invention of motion pictures. Not to be confused with the technical aspects of film production, film studies exists only with the creation of film theory—which approaches film critically as an art—and the writing of film historiography. Because the modern film became an invention and industry only in the late nineteenth century, a generation of film producers and directors existed significantly before the academic analysis that followed in later generations.

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.

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.

3. Editing is an art (of rejection).
•
The basic building block of editing is the
“shot”(clip) and the fundamental tool is the “cut”
(blade).
•
Editing, the basic creative force of film, is the
process by which the editor combines and
coordinates individual shots into a cinematic whole.
•
“Art of rejection.” Not uncommon in Hollywood for
ratio of unused to used footage to be as high as 20 to
1. Apocalypse Now was 100 to 1.
5. 1. The Long Take (The Sequence Shot)
Sequence Shots contain no editing.
Early cinema relied entirely on “long-take” shot.
“Long Take” is not the same as “long shot.” A “take” is one run
of the camera that records a single shot.
Usually filmmakers use the long take selectively. One scene
will rely heavily on editing, another will be a long take. This
permits the director to associate certain aspects of narrative
form with different stylistic options (usually doco).
Example: Manufactured Landscapes
6. Manufactured Landscapes
(Jennifer Baichwal, 2006) 90 minutes
Style: Realism
A documentary about Edward Burtynsky
Burtynsky is internationally acclaimed for his large-scale
photographs of nature transformed by industry.
Manufactured Landscapes follows Burtynsky to China,
as he captures the effects of the country’s massive
industrial revolution. This film leads us to meditate on
human endeavour and its impact on the planet.
8. 2. Continuity Editing
Temporal Continuity
Ellipses or “Cutting to Continuity” tries to preserve the
fluidity of an event without literally showing all of it.
Cause and effect relationships are clearly set forth.
For example, a 45-minute action might take ten seconds
of screen time yet nothing essential is left out.
“Unobtrusive condensation.”
Spatial Continuity
The 180 Degree Rule
9. Toward Interactivity …
2a. Dis-Continuity Editing
Temporal and Spatial Discontinuity
Storyline may weave several complex subplots
Film sequencing may jump around in time.
Flashbacks, flash forwards. (Eg. Cloud Atlas)
Spatial discontinuity suggests creative ways of
letting go of the 180 degree system.
Opens up action for creative uses as interactive
cinema or videogame narrative.
10. Lola Rennt (Tom Tykwer, 1998)
Tykwer also directed and produced Cloud Atlas (2012)
Style: Fiction (Classical) Toward Formalism
Plot Outline: Lola runs. To save her boyfriend's life.
Significant as being videogame-like
• In character building scenes
• Interactive “choose your own ending” scripting
• Incorporation of animation
• “Discontinuity editing,” breaking 180 degree rule.
12. Classical Editing -- DW Griffiths
Classical editing involves editing for dramatic intensity and
emotional emphasis rather than purely physical reasons.
Birth of a Nation (2’48”) by carefully selecting and juxtaposing
long, medium, and close shots, Griffiths constantly shifted
the spectator’s point of view -- consolidating, connecting,
contrasting, paralleling and so on.
The space and time continuum is radically altered “Thematic
montage” that stress the association of ideas.
Also perfected the conventions of the chase making use of
parallel editing-- alternation of shots of one scene with a
different location.
13. Birth of a Nation (D.W. Griffiths, 1915)
Style: Classical (Hollywood Fiction)
AKA In the Clutches of the Ku Klux Klan
Heavily racist overtones but despite that, Birth of A
Nation is one of the most influential films of all
time. It features the rise of the Ku Klux Klan,
introduced as the picture's would-be heroes. The
famous classical editing depicts Griffith integrating
a love story in the midst of a race war Thrilling and
disturbing, at the same time.
Genre: Drama / War (more)

15. Editing Styles
Montage “to assemble”
•
Soviet formalist filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein was interested in
exploring general principles that could be applied to a variety of
apparently different forms of creative activity.
•
He believed the function of artists is to capture a dynamic collision
of opposites -- to incorporate dialectical conflicts not only in the
subject matter of art but its techniques and forms.
•
He felt cinema was most comprehensive of the arts — incorporates
visual conflicts of painting and photography, the kinetic conflicts
of dance, the tonal conflicts of music, the verbal conflicts of
language, and character and action conflicts of fiction and drama.
•
He placed special emphasis on the art of editing. Battleship
Potemkin was conceived as an editing construction and it is most
famous for “The Odessa Steps” scene.
17. Un chien andalou
(Luis Bunuel/Salvador Dali, 1929)
Style: Avant Garde Formalism/Surrealism
(Abstract Cutting)
Plot Outline: Un Chien Andalou consists of seventeen
minutes of abstract, surreal images and is a startling
example that almost any interpretation can be
drawn from the juxtaposed image montage. Every
scene is random and unconcerned with any other,
but there are items which are present throughout the
film. In some ways the repeated glimpses of these
things in situations where they shouldn't be adds to
the confused feel, enhanced by the off-putting and
nonsensical time-markers deployed.
