This document outlines several common cinematic techniques used in superhero action films, including dynamic camera movements, dramatic lighting and color, impactful sound design, costume designs inspired by comics, elaborate settings, and impactful special effects. It also notes that editing is often fast-paced to match action sequences, performances require physical strength to appear believable, and dialogue is minimized with catchphrases emphasized.

Évaluation des effets de la participation des entreprises locales à la constr...LISEA
LISEA a mis en place un observatoire socio-économique dont les principaux objectifs sont de participer à l'argumentaire national sur les effets consta-tés des Lignes à Grande Vitesse ferroviaires et d'exposer aux acteurs « locaux » les effets territoriaux, économiques et sociaux de la LGV SEA Tours-Bordeaux. Ses travaux s’organisent autour de plusieurs thématiques : effets « chantier », offre de transport et mobilité, effets « gare LGV », dynamiques métropolitaines et territoriales, tourisme et LGV, stratégies des acteurs et organisations. Cette synthèse s’inscrit dans le cadre de la thématique Entreprises et sous-traitance. Les résultats présentés sont issus d’une enquête réalisée entre juin et septembre 2014 auprès de 213 entreprises situées dans les 6 départements traversés par la ligne. Ont été interrogées des entreprises locales ayant parti-cipé au projet SEA (35% des entreprises locales ayant obtenu au moins un contrat au 15 mars 2013) mais aussi des entreprises locales ayant souhaité travailler sur le projet SEA mais n’ayant pas obtenu de contrats.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

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
2. Camera Angles/Shot and Movement
• In this genre the camera is a dynamic
participant – Movement is very common
• New technology allows the camera to move
far more freely and some technology has been
specifically designed for this genre
• Steadicam
• Flying – Cam
• Virtual Camera
3. Camera Angles/Shot and Movement
• Whip pans – a very fast pan often used to give
the impression that the camera is just keeping
up with the action. Combined with a handheld
camera this can help to give the scene a
‘documentary/ real feel (verisimilitude)
• Crash Zoom – an extremely fast zoom in. Used
to emphasis something, often connected with
a POV shot. Can make things dramatic and fast
paced (linked with editing)
4. Camera Angles/Shot and Movement
• Subjective shot are extremely common (flash
word for POV) – sometimes combined with a
binocular mask
• Use of Wide shot is very common –
emphasises the location and actions
5. Camera Angles/Shot and Movement
• Canted angle (Dutch Tilt or Dutch Angle) -
used a lot, often to indicate an unstable mind
• Aerial Shots (birds eye view) – used to again
highlight the location, often filmed with the
assistance of a crane, building or aircraft.
6. Camera – Lighting and Colour
• Lighting is used in a very dramatic fashion and
often used in combination with smoke or
particles placed in the air.
• Colours are coded to convey specific meaning
and sometimes this is different to the
traditional connotations.
7. Sound
• Theme or signature sound is often used
(emphasises key action)
• Music is used to add ‘shape to an action
sequence and create emotion
• Key words
– Symphonic
– Melody
– Atonal
– Rhythmic
– Dissonant or Discordant
8. Mise en Scene – Costume Design
• The look of both the Superhero and Super
villain owes much to the costume design, hair
and make up. This design is often heavily
influenced by graphic novels and comics
• The Joker Batman
9. Mise en scene – Production Design
• Settings and locations – Cities, tall buildings,
crowded places full of innocence people
• Props again are heavily influenced by graphic
novels and comic books – key items are
expected. Cool/ New technology and gadgets
are common and looked for by the audience.
• Sometimes the city is almost like a character.
10. Mise en scene - SFX
• Of central importance's in many superhero
films and in many cases have replaced the
physical pro-filmic aspects of the film
(explosions, realistic fights etc)
• Key words
– Models and miniatures
– Matte painting
– Animation/ CGI
– Makeup / Prosthetics
– Physical effects (stunts)
11. Editing
• As chases, races and escapes are key narrative
elements, editing pace is also very important (fact
paced)
• Over cranking – Speeding up the frame rate (speed
that the films strips passes through the camera). Play
back is slow motion
• Under cranking – slowing down the frame rate. Play
back is accelerated motion
• Other key words
– Cross Cutting/ Parallel Editing
– Action Match
– Continuity Editing
12. Performance
• Actors need to be physically powerful in order for
the audience to ‘believe’.
• We expect to see very physical confrontations
(combat work) between heroes and villains
(choreographed
• Combat work can be elaborate with the use of
wires (wire work)
• Elaborate stunts
• Emotionless facial expressions and suppressed
emotional responses (don’t really feel pain)
• Dialogue is kept to a minimum but catchphrases
are common
13. Two other Scenes
• You now need to watch two other scenes from
both movies and take notes on how well they
fit the conventions of the genre and how they
have used the techniques e.g editing, MES,
Performance and camerawork
