Gayatri Horror Genre Conventions
Horror/slasher films typically involve a psychologically disturbed or vengeful male killer targeting innocent female victims. Common locations include dark basements, forests, and victims' homes, and the killer often uses weapons like knives or guns.

Assignment #4 genre partner
1. Drama originated around the 16th century BC in ancient Greece and was used to act out stories for gods. Over time, drama has expanded its audience and become a hybrid genre, blending elements of comedy, drama, and romance.
2. Charlie Chaplin's 1936 film Modern Times exemplified this hybrid genre, blending comedy and social commentary about modern industrial society. The film relied heavily on music to convey emotions and heighten different scenes.
3. Horror and thriller films first emerged in the early 20th century to shock and terrify audiences. Advances in technology have allowed these genres to incorporate more realistic and convincing special effects over time. Many modern horrors blend with other genres like comedy.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
