The document discusses various theories of genre analysis:
- Buscombe's theory defines genres based on location, appearance, tools, and miscellaneous elements.
- Saussure analyzed signs as composed of a signifier (form) and signified (meaning/concept).
- Neale and Ryan created the audience-producer-text triangle to show how these three elements influence each other in genre formation.

Psychology of Consumer Product AdoptionDavid Tracy

http://pptlab.com/ppt/Why-Consumers-Dont-Buy-The-Psychology-of-New-Product-Adoption-16
Some innovations are truly spectacular, but consumers are slow or just refuse to adopt. In fact, over 70% of all new products fail in the marketplace—and innovative, new products fail at an even higher rate.
Why is this the case? And, how do companies overcome this?
This document discusses the psychology of product adoption. Topics include Prospect Theory, Endowment Effect, Loss Aversion, Give and Get Dynamics, Innovator’s Curse, Product-Behavior Value Matrix, among other topics. It distills these concepts into Six Product Launch Strategies.
The foundation of this consumer adoption discussion is around the difference between objective gains and losses vs. subjective gains and losses. This fundamental consumer bias results in psychological switching costs, in addition to economic ones. Studies have shown that, psychologically, losses loom larger than gains by two to three times.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

Semiotics
1.
2. Buscombe’s
Buscombe said that “One genre is differentiated from another by the icon associated with it,
the physical objects or symbols”
He believed that based on 4 categories a genre can be defined, these categories are;
− Location
− Appearance (clothing, hair, tattoos)
− Tools (Guns, cars, machines, computers)
− Miscellaneous (anything else)
Saussure
He believes that the sign which is made up of a concept and a sound-image; the impression of
the sound of the word, is made up of the signified and the signifier.
− Signifier: the form which the sign takes; a word, colour or image (ie. The colour blue)
− Signified: The concept which it represents/meaning/associations that the sign refers to
(ie. Blue is often associated with sadness or the sea)
Neale & Ryan
Created a triangle called the audience-producer-text triangle of dependency
They stated that all 3 affected each other in some way for example, the producer will change
their texts to fit the audience needs/wants.
3. The film Woman in black is a horror film. The horror genre aims to
create ‘negative emotional reactions’ from the audience by
including scenes with audience’s nightmares and fears.
Elements often included in in the horror genre are; ghosts,
extraterrestrials, vampires, werewolves, demons, gore, torture,
vicious animals, monsters, zombies, psychopaths and serial killers.
I used buscombe’s theory to analyse the trailer:
Location - Nursery, marshland, big overgrown abandoned house, corridor,
houses, town, rain, mist and sea
Appearance - Hats, dresses, suits, old fashioned, black
Tools – Horse & cart and fire
Misc – Toys, dolls, clown and old photos
Technical Codes:
In the trailer many different shot types are used including establishing, close-up,
and extreme close-up, long shot, deep shot, over the shoulder, high angle, static
and birds eye view. At the start the trailer there is a sound of wind and then
throughout there is the sound of a high pitch music box in the background, the
voiceover of a small girl reciting poetry comes in around halfway through.
Symbolic Codes:
There aren’t many symbolic codes in the trailer but there is repetitive showing of
old toys and dolls which emphasise the era and the setting of a nursery. These
objects are also often used in horror films so highlights the genre.

4. American ultra is an American action comedy film. This is a hybrid genre
combining comedy with action. An action film generally follows the
challenges which the main character faces. They normally include violence,
close combat and chases. A comedy emphasizes the humour of the main
character, typically directed to make the audience laugh by effects or the
characteristics of the character.
I used buscombe’s theory to analyse the trailer:
Location – Garage, house, lounge, sofa, petrol station, shop and police station
Appearance – Long messy hair, casual clothes, long coat, sunglasses, tight bun,
army camo, suits, tattoos, cuts
Tools – Van, helicopter, fire, knife, guns, police car, spoon, computers and
grenades
Misc – Weed, phones, drawings, explosions and food
Technical Codes;
The shots which appear in the trailer include a medium 2 shot, close up, long and
static, birds eye view and over the shoulder. The music which is used is very
upbeat and uses pop music which is well known. Explosions are also used.
Symbolic Codes
Army clothing is often used which implies the setting is an army camp even
though it isn’t as obvious.
Written Codes
Some text is used and the word play and puns create humour.

5. Iron man is a superhero film. They generally focus on the story of
one or more superheros, or a person who has superwoman
abilities compared to a normal person.
I used buscombe’s theory to analyse the trailer:
Location – Mountains, desert, underground, cave, crowds, workshop
and the sky
Appearance – Army camo, suits, sunglasses, smart, tie and sweat
Tools – army trucks, guns, rocks, missiles, explosions, planes,
technology, cars, machines and tanks
Misc – Alcohol and poker
Technical Codes:
Some of the shots used in the trailer include establishing, static, mid shot,
close up and over the shoulder. The music used in the background is often
orchestral rather than an actual song which creates tension from certain
instruments. Explosions and special effects such as flying are also used.
