We used an HD camera, battery, tape and tripod to film. I learned different shot types like close-ups, long shots, and over-the-shoulder shots. Factors like applicable shots and positioning equipment were considered during planning, shooting and editing.

A revealing wide shot showed the strings led to the tent indoors, furthering the intrigue. A close-up of the character picking up an axe built tension over an unknown threat. Silence during a walk heightened discomfort. The door handle turning on its own gave a thrill while maintaining the mystery.
Film openings by Cleo Coogan
The opening scene of Black Swan shows a stick of chalk being dragged across a sheet to mimic ballet movements. The chalk starts smoothly but then cracks, mirroring the tension between grace and frustration. Dark colors and an old-fashioned sepia filter set a moody tone. Stylized text titles fade away quickly, hinting at a hidden meaning beneath the film's surface. Together, these visual and editing elements immerse viewers in the world of ballet while foreshadowing inner conflict.
Question one -evaluation
This document discusses the conventions of the thriller genre that were used in a student media project. It describes including a range of lighting levels to create different moods, using jump cuts to build suspense without identifying a main protagonist. Tension music was used but had to be adjusted to keep the viewer engaged. Overall, the project focused on sound and lighting to build suspense and used thriller-style titles to fit the genre.
Title & Opening Sequence Textual Analysis
The document analyzes the opening sequence of the psychological thriller film "Before I Go To Sleep." It summarizes that the opening sequence creates mystery and confusion by providing very little information. It begins with just the title on a black screen with no sound. Unrecognizable sounds are then added, building tension. The audience is introduced to the main character through a point-of-view shot that reveals she is not alone and confused about her surroundings. As more dramatic nondiegetic sounds are incorporated, both the character and audience try to understand what is happening. The lack of clear information builds suspense and mystery as the plot develops.
film openings research UPDATED
The document provides an analysis of different film opening techniques that connote the thriller genre. It summarizes several scenes from example film openings.
At the beginning of one clip, non-diegetic music creates suspense as the audience wonders what will happen. Two men are introduced, and their futuristic clothing implies the film is set in the future. In another scene, a girl is distressed but her sister's comforting relates to the "hero character" concept.
One opening uses music to introduce an illusionist character, then shows him correctly guessing a card's location in a surprising way. Another uses close-ups and interrogation to introduce a hypnotist character. Dramatic music and a performance introduce a magician character.
The strangers
The lighting creates a gloomy, nighttime atmosphere that isolates the characters and makes them vulnerable. Shots of a romantic dinner establish the couple's tranquility before danger intrudes. Fast editing cuts between disturbing images to overwhelm the audience with tension. Handheld camera work and shots of the unseen antagonists behind the protagonists increase the audience's fear for the couple's safety.
Evaluation jess
The document summarizes the opening of a student film project. It describes editing techniques used such as fading characters in, introducing the setting with environmental shots, and using titles with fading effects. It discusses using friendly character interactions at first to build anticipation before introducing horror elements. Research on other film openings informed genre and tone decisions. A variety of shots were used including close-ups to show emotions. The opening represents some gender and age groups in a stereotypical way but subverts others. The target audience is teenagers and the skills learned include editing, sound mixing, and using music to build tension.

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.

Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Thriller sequences
- 1. The girl with the tattoo opening sequence Many of the shots used in this sequence are close ups which therefore got the audience more involved in the sequence, as the close ups gave us the audience a great view of what was going on. As we were so close up to what was going on we could relate to the pain the character was going through. The framing was very pacific as the main characters/props in the sequence were always in the centre at all times which would have grabbed the audience attention toward what the directors want us to see. The movements from one frame to another therefore built a lot of tension as the movement of each frame matched the fast pace of the music .The way each scene was edited was very effective as the fast pace of the cutaways always caused a bit of suspense. Many establishing shots were used to portray a really disturbing, sinister movie. Such as when they zoomed in to the character when it was tied up, that scene did give us the idea that the girl with the tattoo has been affected psychologically ad there is no way out. The use of montage was used very well as all the frames put all together, gave the sequence a very fast pace, which therefore built up some form of secrecy.
- 2. The sound used in the sequence was very fast and it also made the audience think of what was going to have next. Some form of non-diegetic sound was mixed in very well with the theme music, which sounded a bit like a girl’s scream. This could suggest that the girl with the dragon tattoo may feel trapped or even isolated, the screams could signify a cry of help. The theme music in this sequence creates a sense of realism and also the emotional involvement of the girl’s feelings towards this tattoo. In the theme music there was a mix of a voiceover, which helped set out the scene more clearly in the sequence. Moving on to the mise en scene, the colour used in the sequence is black and white all throughout the whole sequence. This suggest some form of secrecy, they have many element that suggest torture. Such as the way they showed a many pair of hand that capture the head of the character, which suggest control, kidnap or even murder. The props used in the sequence such as the match that dropped and cause a fire, this part shows destruction and also disaster .The facial expressions of the character when he was tied up was very disturbing as, this suggested the character was trapped. The liquid that was splashing everywhere was a representation of blood, which could suggest a murder is going to take place.
- 3. Usual suspect In this opening sequence there are many different shots were used ,such as a close up of the character holding the matches just before he drops it .This made us as an audience feel more involved in the tension and suspense in the scene . They also used a mid-shot which gave us a general action of the movie but not so much of the intimacy. An establishing shot was used to create the established mood of the two characters just before one of them was shot. This shot therefore gives us an audience more knowledge and understanding on what’s going on. They also use a two shot which shows he link in the reaction of the two characters ,for example when the other man was about to get shot they had a bit of a conversation going on there. The low angled shot was also used in this in this scene on the man before he got shot to show the importance of the other character, this shot also gave the audience a clue to what was going to happen. The use of pan that followed the fire was a way to build up tension and suspense. The use of slow paced editing was used in some frames such as when the main character was coming down the stairs this therefore, overshadows the idea of mystery.
- 4. The theme sound used in this sequence really went well with the scene because it felt like it was gradually building up to something mysterious and secretive. There was also some non-diegetic sound, such as when the man dropped the matches on the floor and catches on fire, this sound added more affect to that scene to build more tension .Some uses of ambient sound was used and was very well mixed in with the theme song so it wasn’t as noticeable as it was very realistic .The sound effects used really got the audience more emotionally involved in the sequence, as the sound gave the audience a wider range of understanding. The colour used in this sequence was very misty, dull, and mysterious, the colours used were grey, yellow black and white. All these colours come together to create the idea of secrecy, suspiciousness and fear. The location of the sequence is on some abandoned boat which could suggest murder was going to take place. The fact that the face of the other man wasn’t shown suggest his a mysterious, person with many things to hide.
