G325 question 1b
This document discusses key concepts related to genre, narrative, representation, audience, and media language. It defines genre as a categorization based on common elements like plot points. Narrative refers to the story and structure, such as linear or circular. Representation is how media presents versions of reality intentionally through production choices. Audience theories explore how media affects or is interpreted by viewers. Media language includes signs like camera shots and editing that convey meaning.
Questionnaire Results
The document summarizes data from a questionnaire about a potential zombie horror film. It finds that the audience is mostly male (67%) and between ages 17-18 (78% and 22% respectively). All 9 respondents were interested in the film concept. While 6 of 9 liked the idea of an apocalypse, others suggested tweaking the plot to not explicitly show one. Responses called for an action-packed trailer to entice audiences and confirmed the target demographic is young people aged 17-25. Finally, 89% said they would see the film.
Scala diamond
Scala provides a solution called linearization to resolve the "diamond problem" that can occur when a class inherits from multiple parent classes. Linearization works by ensuring each parent class has only one child, avoiding multiple inheritances. It starts from the leftmost parent and expands the child class to include the types of all its parent classes, removing duplicates from left to right. This determines the method resolution order from right to left.
Media language
This document discusses several key aspects of media language in music videos. It addresses how media conventions and symbols cue audience understanding, and how elements like editing, camerawork, sound, and mise-en-scene impact meaning and provide pleasure. Specific techniques are examined, including thought beats, narrative, performance, star image, and the relationship between visuals and song. Semiotics, the study of signs, is also introduced. An analysis of the Katy Perry music video "Roar" is then provided to demonstrate these concepts.

It will feature keynote speakers, panel discussions on topics like indoor navigation, payments, and analytics. The second day includes tours of partner facilities. Sponsorship packages are available and provide opportunities to speak, exhibit, and advertise.
Postmodern Music Video
The music video starts with Rita Ora and her boyfriend entering a diner where Iggy Azalea works as a waitress. When the boyfriend complains about his food, there is a reference to the song "what does the fox say?". Iggy then daydreams of getting revenge on the boyfriend in a parody of Kill Bill, seeking revenge while dressed in jumpsuits and fighting in the same style. Throughout the video, Iggy and Rita portray a strong female message as they train and use weapons to ultimately kill the boyfriend by black widow spider bite, referencing how black widows sometimes kill males after mating.
Linguistic breakdown of my investigation texts
The document provides a linguistic analysis of the traditional Rapunzel story and Disney's Tangled film script. It analyzes differences in lexis, semantics and grammar between the original 1812 story and the modern adaptation. Key differences noted include the replacement of archaic words like "tresses" and "ells" with more modern terms, less frequent use of figurative language, and shorter sentences in the Disney version compared to the original story. The analysis also identifies new words and meanings that have emerged since the 1800s through processes like compounding, borrowing, and contraction. Some language theorists view changes between the versions critically as a "decay" or simplification of language over time.
Brand Guidelines
Brand guidelines are a set of rules that explain a brand's identity and ensure consistent communication. They typically include a brand's vision, values, logo usage, fonts, colors, images, and business cards. Following brand guidelines ensures the brand message is consistently conveyed across marketing channels and customer touchpoints, and provides a unified look. Examples of elements covered in brand guidelines include logos, typefaces, and color palettes.
Risk Assessment
Chelsea Harper is producing a music video for Chelsea's song. There are several risks to consider including personal injury to the actors, health and safety issues across various filming locations, and potential damage to equipment.

Research into the Rock Genre
The document discusses several rock music genres including hard rock, heavy rock, alternative rock, and post-grunge. Hard rock originated in the 1960s and incorporates distorted electric guitars, aggressive vocals, and heavy use of drums and bass. Alternative rock emerged from indie music in the 1980s and gained widespread popularity in the 1990s, known for its distinctive guitar sounds and lyrics addressing social issues. Post-grunge is a derivative of grunge and alternative rock that became commercially successful in the late 1990s, featuring thicker distorted guitars but in a more radio-friendly style.
Research Into Equipment
The document discusses the key equipment that will be used to film a music video, including a Canon 550D camera for its excellent image quality and video recording abilities. A tripod will also be used to allow for smooth panning and tilting shots to give the video a professional look. Adobe Premiere Pro and Photoshop software will be used to edit the video footage and images respectively, with Premiere used to assemble the final sequenced video and Photoshop for touch-ups, removing backgrounds, and color adjustments before placing footage into Premiere. Experience with this equipment will help ensure the best possible outcome for the music video.
Lyrical Analysis
The song "You" by The Pretty Reckless is about heartbreak and unrequited love. The lyrics describe the singer's desperation to be loved in return by someone who does not love or need her the same way. Throughout the song, the repetition of lines emphasizes her continued pain and inability to stop loving this person, despite knowing they are not right for her. The simple and direct language allows the singer to clearly convey her feelings of wanting and needing this person in her life, yet realizing there is no hope since they cannot see or feel for her the same way.
Music labels
Universal Music Group is the largest music corporation in the world, owning labels like Island Def Jam and operating out of California and other global locations. It has a long history originating from Decca Records and has acquired many other labels. Warner Music Group is the third largest global record company and owns labels like Warner Bros and Atlantic, starting as the music label of Warner Bros studio. Sony BMG was a joint venture between Sony Music and Bertelsmann Music Group that merged their labels until Sony bought out Bertelsmann's share and it became Sony Music Entertainment.
Genre
Genres are categories of media texts that are recognizable through repeated codes and conventions. Different genre theories propose that genres derive their form from social occasions or help media produce consistently for audiences. Genres can be instances of repetition or difference and influence audience expectations and production standardization. Music videos are analyzed as belonging to genres through their narrative, themes, characters, and visual elements.
Audience
This document discusses audience theory related to media consumption. It outlines different types of audiences and their potential reactions. Several theories are described, including cultivation theory, which suggests heavy media consumption can shape viewers' perspectives; and uses and gratifications theory, which examines how audiences utilize media for purposes like diversion, surveillance, relationships, and identity. Reception theory holds that audiences interpret media through their own experiences and knowledge. The document analyzes Cheryl Cole's "Fight for This Love" music video in light of these theories, exploring how the audience for the genre and artist is targeted and may emulate or discuss the content.
Language of the 2000s
The growth of the internet in the 2000s led to increased globalization and new ways of communicating across the world. Major events like 9/11 and the Iraq War occurred, as well as scientific advancements like the Mars Rover mission.

Researching existing magazines informed the design and conventions employed. Creativity was shown in original shots and makeup styles captured with the camera to portray the artist for readers. The digital tools both facilitated post-production improvements and allowed experimentation that enhanced the work.
Digipak
The document analyzes and compares the album packaging (digipaks) of several popular artists. It discusses design elements like images, colors, fonts and layouts used on the front and back covers as well as inside panels of the CDs. Specific elements that contribute to effective designs are highlighted, such as using bold images that represent the theme or genre of the album. Consistent use of colors, fonts and other stylistic elements helps create a cohesive look and reinforce the artist's brand. Imaginative or symbolic imagery can make an album more memorable compared to straightforward photos of the artist.
Digipak Research
The document summarizes the design elements used on the album packaging, or digipak, of three different albums:
1) Britney Spears' "Femme Fatale" album uses bold makeup and hair on the front cover to portray her as a sex symbol. Gold is prominently featured to portray her as strong. Images of Spears draw attention to her popularity and the tracklisting.
2) Imagine Dragons' "Night Visions" uses dark, earthy colors on the cover to match the album's mysterious theme. An unusual font builds recognition of their name. The inside is plain to focus on the cover.
3) The Fray's "How to Save a Life" uses symbolic
Magazine key concepts

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.

“Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transfor...Edge AI and Vision Alliance
For the full video of this presentation, please visit: https://www.edge-ai-vision.com/2024/06/temporal-event-neural-networks-a-more-efficient-alternative-to-the-transformer-a-presentation-from-brainchip/
Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
