The trailer summarizes the plot of the film "The Woman in Black" and builds suspense and fear. It shows the protagonist investigating an old, isolated house that has dark secrets related to the Woman in Black. Eerie music and quick flashes of disturbing images like possessed children and a supernatural presence establish an ominous tone. The trailer aims to make the audience curious about the mystery and scare them with jump scares and the threat the Woman in Black poses.
this is my analysis of the advertising campaign for the film insidious; including the trailer, poster and magazine cover for my ocr a2 media studies coursework.
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.

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

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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.
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.

2. The trailer begins with a smoky setting and
red writing stating the production company of
the film. There is the ambient sound of a train
as one is shown on the screen. It creates a
peaceful atmosphere because it has calm non
diegetic music while they are explaining the
protagonist’s situation and who he is. this
briefly gives the audience an insight to the
protagonist and creates sympathy for him
because they don’t want anything bad to
happen to him and for it to stay peaceful.
3. The house is shown along with other eerie clips
of the surroundings, showing that the house is
lonely and creates a sense of fear for the
audience. The clips are all dreary and dark
which signifies danger. A lonesome cross is
shown in the middle of the marshland
portraying that bad things have already gone
on there. Isolation is a convention of horror
films because it means that the characters
are more vulnerable because there is no one
there to help them.
4. The peaceful music stops as he walks into the
dark house showing that the security is gone and
bad things are going to happen in there. The music
after is tense as he walks round the dark house
with a light. This builds up to the crescendo, as it
gets louder and tenser. It stops as he hits the toy
that spins round. the audience’s mind is taken off
what is going to happen as they watch the old
fashioned toy go round with no music. A distorted
eye then appears combined with a loud noise to
show that the film has unexpected parts in it and
will make people jump. the dialogue ‘please don’t
go back to the house’ shows that there is
something scary there and makes the audience
associate that place with fear.
5. The trailer focuses on the house to show that it
is dangerous there and to evoke questioning
from the audience. A woman shakily pours a
drink whilst saying ‘don’t go back to the house’.

protagonist is then shown to give the effect
that she is the danger. A voice over then says
‘she’s there’. a crow is shown to signify death
and fear. It lets the audience know that the
film is dark and gothic. After the crow is shown
there is a montage of death with fire and
screaming. The music is tense and the montage
flashes on quickly making the audience feel
terror.
6. the music stops as the protagonist says ‘i can’t
leave yet.’ this indicates to the audience that
a lot more things are going to happen and
keeps them wanting to know what he is going to
do and why he can’t leave. the words ‘the most
chilling ghost story of our time’ are shown
which is used to persuade the audience of the
trailer to see it because they think it will be
worth while.
7. A theme of children is shown to show the
vulnerability of the victims in the film. Because the
children are vulnerable it also makes the audience
sympathise with them and want to find out what
happens to them. The 3 girls looked possessed and
step on one of their toys, cracking it’s head. they
open their windows as if they are going to jump out
and a man shouts ‘you should of left. you should of
gone when we told you to’ to the protagonist. this
makes the audience ask questions because they
would wonder why he had to leave and if he has
anything to do with it. A montage of children
covered in mud and in the rain, a child’s footsteps ,
the protagonist with his own son, a nursery with
bloody writing on the walls and a child’s toy are
shown. This shows a clear theme of children

9. The fast paced music and low key lighting
throughout the trailer show that it is a dark and
tense watch and has to be portrayed well through
the trailer to show the film’s potential to scare
the audience. It is trying to persuade the audience
to watch at all times and does this by putting the
name of the main actor because he is well known
already and people may want to watch it because
it has him in it. After his name is shown it fades out
to flash up clips him being scared and looking
around to evoke emotion for him from the audience.
To seem like he is being watch or running away
from something the montage also includes a
woman’s face in the window, the turning of a door
handle and a hand on the glass of the door. The
audience wouldn’t want him being harmed if they
know who he is. The theme of isolation is also
reiterated through showing the house on a

shown at alternate times in the
middle of another fast paced
montage of the film. The font is
bold, in sans serif and capital
letters to show the dominance the
woman in black has over the
people in the film. The font gets
The setting is old fashioned which asassociated with

closer which might make the

11. After the quick montage at the end the name of the
film ‘the woman in black’ is shown to remind the
audience of the title and help them remember the
name of the film. It then fades out to the dialogue
of a woman saying ‘she’s always there’. a clip is
shown of the protagonist looking out of the
window and a hand appearing. He touches the hand
slowly and a face of a woman appears screaming.
The clip quickly turns off to reveal when the film
is out in the cinema. This last clip shows the
connection of the two main characters and gives
the audience one last fright, reminding them that
is scary and has unexpected parts in it.
