The document analyzes techniques used in the trailer for the film "The Shining" to build tension and atmosphere. It discusses how the trailer uses techniques like low camera angles, slow pacing with few cuts, dull color palettes, and ominous music and sounds to create an unsettling, ominous, and anxiety-inducing tone that draws in the audience and prepares them for a horror film. Close-ups of the protagonist's creepy face and inconsistent depictions of his character add to making him seem mysterious and unsettling.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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 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.
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 long shot of the elevator helps to build tension and create an eerie
atmosphere coincide with the genre of the film.
A low angle shot is used on the doors to build tension. The use of a low angled
shot also makes the doors look more important/significant than the viewer,
the audience is looking up on them and therefore are in a vulnerable position.
No movement in the shot is another tension building technique, the viewer
knows something will happen.
The use of a minimalistic shots mean there are less places for something to
hide, should they see it coming?
Establishing shots of mountains and forests helps set the scene. Though in
these shots the forests are not particularly intimidating, forests can connote
danger and peril.
There are lots of close-ups of the protagonists face (it is distinctly creepy and
the more the audience sees it the more likely they are to remember it - the
closer something is to you the scarier it is)
The use of slanted camera angles is slightly unexpected or irregular and
therefore suggest something may be going wrong.

3. Ascending titles throughout the trailer in a simple white typeface ensures the
audience are not distracted from the visuals.
The titles at the end of the trailer resemble the titles at the end of a film. The constant
scrolling creates tension and attracts the audiences attention to make them continue
watching.
The lack of cuts and changes in shot emphasises simplicity and helps the audience
focus more clearly on the visuals and creates a sense of anticipation.
The use of fades to black both builds tension and helps the audience to focus on the
information they are being given. This is also a technique used to show a jump in time.
Towards the end of the trailer the tensions start to build, this is because the clips get
shorter and therefore the pace of the trailer picks. This creates a more panicked
intense atmosphere and requires the audiences full attention , putting them on the
edges of their seats.
Cuts quickly to a zooming close-up shot of the protagonists face to intensify the fear
for the audience.
Editing
4. Lots of dull colours are used like brown, grey
and white which creates an eerie atmosphere
as they are dark, grimy colours.
The bright red blood gushing through the
doors contrasts with the dull colours of the
room. This shows connotations of death and
terror which are representative of the horror
genre.
The setting of a hotel lobby makes the scene
seem more present and real to the audience
as this will be a familiar place to many viewers
as most of then will have been in a hotel at
some point.
The location is also rural and secluded, hard to
get help.
The protagonists character is contradicted
making him appear very mysterious
and deceiving, he was
shown attacking someone in then in the
following clip he is depicted as a professional
looking, family orientated businessman.
Mise-en-scene
5. Non-diegetic crescendo played on group of stringed instruments
builds tension and works with visuals to create tension.
Single non-diegetic piano notes played throughout the trailer
also build tension through their simplicity as they give the
audience a chance to focus on the visuals.
The voice over at the beginning plays a big part in setting the
scene and introducing characters. The voice is very stern and
powerful, the voice of someone you would trust and listen to.
This makes it sound more believable.
Striking sounds are used at the end to make the audience feel
uncomfortable and scared, this is a generic trait of the horror
genre.
