The student used various media technologies in constructing their horror film trailer project. Premier Pro was used for editing clips and adding images/text to pace the trailer. Photoshop was used for experimenting with scary images and designing the movie poster and magazine cover. InDesign helped structure and layout the magazine. Illustrator was used for the film title design and magazine masthead. YouTube and Google were researched for inspiration. Sounds were recorded on a phone and camera and editing was done in Windows Media Player.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Q4. How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
1. How did you use media
technologies in the
construction and research,
planning and evaluation
stages?
2. Premier Pro
I used Premier Pro when creating my trailer as it enabled me to
overlap clips and edit them. It also allowed me add images/text
over certain scenes which added to the impact of my trailer by
changing the pace of the trailer. Without premier pro I would not
have been able to edit my clips to the ability I have done today
and incorporated so many different types of sound into my trailer.
3. Photoshop
Photoshop I have mainly used for
experimenting with images so that I
can achieve the scariest look possible
to conform to my genre. I created all
of my movie poster on Photoshop as it
requires less text as the image is what
grabs the customers eye. I also used it
when editing my images for my movie
magazine along with creating the title
for it, I had to use Photoshop and
illustrator to design the ‘horror’ title
before it would finally import into in-
design how I wanted it.
4. InDesign
InDesign is where I finalised my magazine as it gave me more
structure when creating it so that I could get all of my column’s
aligned so that it looked neat and professional.
I used this programme as I could have a ‘Fangoria’ magazine on the
same screen page which I could use to take inspiration from.
5. Illustrator
I used illustrator to construct my title for
the film to make it look as though my title
had been scribbled by a young child, I
wrote it roughly to convey the horror and
anger the trailer is based around. I also
used it when looking at my masthead for
my magazine to design the letter F and A
to bend around my text.
6. Google
I used google at school to be able to access sites such as edublogs
and YouTube, also when doing research into other previous film
posters and magazines so that I could understand my genre better.
I used safari from home to do something similar, I would watch clips
of previous horror trailers so that I could really understand my genre
and what aspect I would need to feature to be able to make a
successful teaser trailer. I used Google to plan the plot and aim it
towards my target audiences.
This is what gave me the initial inspiration to
have a young girl on the front cover – even
though it’s a poster for a musical the girl
featured looks creepy.
7. Platforms: YouTube,
Polldaddy, Edublogs
I used YouTube as it is the number one website for viewing and
sharing videos. I used it to watch previous trailers to gain inspiration
from them so that I could create mine, also I used YouTube as a
platform for my video.
Edublogs is where I have I have a free account (a blog) where I am
posting all of my research, planning, evidence of editing and my
final trailer – this is where my progress is seen.
Polldaddy is a website which I used to gain feedback on certain
aspects of my edublogs site and creations.
8. Windows Media Player
Windows Media player is the default programme which opens for
sound on the school system so the clips I had recorded I tended to
export them onto windows media player and then re-export it from
there as I knew this method was reliable.
9. Phone
I used my phone to record
sounds and guitar playing.
Then I sent the sound clips
as file over BBM (BlackBerry
Messenger) which was then
e-mailed to the computer
where I could open the
clips and use them freely.
10. Video Camera
I used the school Nikon D3100 camera to shoot the clearer more
steady shots of my trailer.
I used a stereotypical handheld camera for the unsteady shots to
add to the realism of the trailer (this was the Cannon FS100
I also used some of the sound from my camera to incorporate into
my trailer, things like the diegetic sound of birds tweeting etc.
11. Conclusion
Overall I used many technologies in my construction, generally
ranging from certain programmes such as Photoshop and
PremierPro being used mainly in my construction.
Websites such as YouTube and Google were used for research.
I used different camera’s and phone technologies when creating
my video
Finally I have used PowerPoint (SlideShare), Prezi and a video
uploaded onto YouTube and my Edublogs site in my evaluation
