This document discusses conventions in media products like music videos and album packaging. It summarizes the typical conventions of a music video, such as visuals that illustrate the music/lyrics, displaying a style and voyeurism. The author's music video adhered to these conventions by syncing cuts with the beat and increasing pace in the chorus. Visuals also matched lyrics through lip syncing. The digipak and album advert conventions discussed include using 6 panels, a single color theme, artist image on the front, and including information like the label logo. The author included these conventions but also made some unconventional choices like using black and white images atypical of the genre. By following and challenging conventions, the media products aim to

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.

Question One
1. In what ways does your media products use, develop or challenge forms and
conventions of real media products?
Conventions are the expected, recognised and known way of doing things,
therefore a genre convention is what we expect to see from a specific genre. An
example of this is how we expect to see voyeurism in pop videos. The typical
conventions of a music video are lip-syncing, fitting the length of the song and
the editing matching the music.
Andrew Goodwin’s codes and conventions of a music video are one of the most
relatable and relevant around today. These include:
Visuals illustrating, amplifying or contradicting the music
Visuals illustrating, amplifying or contradicting the lyrics
Music videos displaying a style and iconography
Voyeurism
Intertextual references
In our music video we have primarily stuck to these code and conventions
despite not using any explicit intertextual references. To make sure our visuals
illustrated the music we cut on the beat and increased the pace of the shots in the
chorus to match the speed.
Our visuals matched the lyrics as shown by our use of lip-syncing throughout the
performance section and occasionally in the narrative section. This is best shown
through the shot of Tom, our male character, lip syncing “its nothing” with lip
stick round his mouth as described in the lyrics.
2. The iconography we illustrated throughout was group unity, which we showed
through the nine spilt screens of the girls around Tom, this style was the bases of
my ancillary tasks.
The conventions of a digipak are much simpler than those of a music video. The
majority of digipaks will have 6 panels although some do only have 4. From the
digipaks I analysed in my research I discovered that it is conventional for a
digipak to have one colour theme, a barcode, legal details in small print, the
artists name as a focus and for the convention pop for an image of the artist to be
the front cover, often a close-up or mid-shot with direct address.
3. Despite the majority of black and white digipaks being from the indie genre I
wanted my images look sleek and classic which is an effect that a black and white
filter does, even too a man smoking. This unconventional route is one that artists
such as Adele have chosen to maintain a classic image.
I have included the record label logo,barcode, a full sound track list and a font
that is then repeated on the album advert to follow the contentions and make my
digipak look realistic, as well as including 6 panels.
Despite genre, band or solo the majority of album adverts follow the same
conventions; the artists name, albums name, release date/out now, reviews and
imagery related to the digipak. I have conformed to the majority of these
conventions in my advert except I didn’t include reviews as the style didn’t fit
any necessary writing and I wanted the focus to be on the “#1” Comeback.
4. Unlike the majority of pop adverts I didn’t follow the conventions of my chosen
genre as I didn’t include any images of the artist. However by including shots
from the music video as well as repetition of the spilt screen I created consistent
iconography throughout my three products.
By following conventions it will offer the audience satisfaction due to the
familiarity of the product. This combined with the conventions I have no
included will create a product that is familiar yet new therefore will entice the
audience to look at the product, which will hopefully lead to its purchase.
