By constructing their opening film sequence, the author learned about various film production and post-production technologies. They used new equipment like a DSLR camera, tripod, slider, and microphone to film different shots. In post-production, they discovered editing techniques like slow motion, rain effects, sound design, text overlays, and color grading to tell the story. Overall, the process taught them about planning, filming with different equipment, and using editing software to craft their final sequence.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
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.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*
Question Six
1. Question Six - What have you learnt about
technologies from the process of
constructing the product?
By Katie Allison
2. • While making our opening sequence we have
learnt lots about the making of a film, including
the filming itself and the post-production. We also
learnt how to use a range of different filming
equipment.
3. Research
• When we began thinking about our opening sequence I
thought it was important to look into other opening
sequences, this included The Exorcist and Juno.
• I then also researched into the conventions of a horror film
to see what we should include, we also asked some people
what they think should be included in a horror film. When we
changed our genre to drama I then also looked into the
conventions of dramas.
• Looking into the drama film Juno I was able to see how
important it was to build the characterisation in drama films.
4. Planning
• From our other ideas we realised the importance of planning.
This included picking the perfect days to film on, it was
important that we had the right weather when filming our
protagonist walking down the street, this was so we could use
pathetic fallacy to portray the girls sadness.
• For one of our original ideas planning was extremely important
as we had to set barbies on fire, this meant we had to plan for
the right day, the right location and get ready to extinguish the
fire, this made sure everyone was safe.
• Planning was also important when it came to costume as we
had to make sure we were able to get a hold of a school shirt.
5. Equipment
• We used a lot of new equipment that we had never used before.
• The camera we used was a Nikon D50100 this was the first time we had used a
camera like this so it took a lot of practice in order to get the best results, this
included using different lenses, including zoom lenses.
• For some of our footage it was vital to use a tripod, this was especially when
we were filming our protagonist type on her phone, this is so we could get the
angle that we wanted and so the footage we filmed was not shaky or bad
quality.
• For one part of out opening sequence we had to film under some toilet doors,
for this we had to use a slider this was completely new equipment for us but it
was able to produce the best quality of film as it was able to flow unlike when
we attempted to film it a bit at a time.
• We also had to use a microphone to film the non-diegetic dialogue.
6. Editing
• We learnt a lot when it came to editing our opening sequence as we had never edited anything
before, the editing software we used was final cut pro.
• One editing technique we learnt to use and ended up using a few times was slow motion, we
thought that the slow motion was able to help us add to the fact our protagonist was depressed,
we added slow-mo to parts of our footage such as her walking to school.
• Another effect we learnt to add was the rain effect, we added this to make the idea of pathetic
fallacy really clear, the idea that the weather when she was walking to school was really dull
reflects her mood towards going to school.
• We were also able to edit our dialogue and sound, we added the echo effect to our dialogue to
produce the idea that our protagonist’s mums voice rings through her head.
• To add to the idea that our protagonist was getting cyber bullied we added text boxes that were
edited to look like text messages to show the kind of messages she was getting sent, to this we
also added the sound of typing and ringtones.
• We also learnt a lot about colour grading/matching, so we were able to make our work flow
together and look more professional, all the colour in our opening sequence.
