This document provides guidance and questions for analyzing Act 1 Scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet. It asks the reader to consider what is learned about Prince Escalus from his language and how to direct actors in portraying the characters of the scene. Specifically, it suggests escalating a fight between households to show the depth of their ancient grudge and having a thoughtful Prince attempt to defuse the violent situation with fear and authority.
Conventions of thriller
The antagonist is usually intelligent and has a relationship with the protagonist, who is stereotypically male. Music in thrillers starts slow and gets faster, building drama towards the climax. Settings take place in busy cities that feel realistic to audiences, with casual costumes allowing antagonists to blend in and props often being clues, weapons, or guns. The pace is quick during action but slower when the protagonist solves problems, with open-ended conclusions.
Presentation1
Crime conventions in films usually involve a complex storyline, police investigation, and twists. There is a villain committing crimes, victims, and a mysterious female character. The hero is often not who you expect. Horror conventions include close-up shots of victims, dark lighting, spooky settings, and loud dramatic music to create tension and scare the audience.

This document provides guidance for analyzing various elements of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, including character motivations, language techniques, and relationships. It discusses directing actors in the fiery Capulet character in Act 1 Scene 1, explores oxymorons and antithesis used in Petrarchan love poetry, and asks how Baz Luhrmann effectively conveyed aspects of this opening scene on film. Analysis focuses on Romeo's confused state of mind and enjoyment of love's contradictions based on his use of oxymorons when speaking of Rosaline.
Production Concept. Summer Homework
The document discusses setting, props, costumes, lighting, makeup, camerawork, and sound considerations for a film trailer in the romance genre. Key settings mentioned include beaches and houses to show relationships. Typical props are candles during meals and phones showing conflict. Costumes should have men well-dressed in suits and women in dresses. Lighting can be low-key for intimacy or high-key for happiness. Makeup usually involves red lipstick. Camerawork uses wide, close-up, and long shots. Music fits the mood of scenes as either slow for conflict or fast for happy moments. Dialogue and sound effects are also important elements.
Evaluation task 1
Our film 'Psychosis' follows the conventions of a thriller genre. It tells the story of a girl, Codi, with a mental disorder that causes her to lose touch with reality and feel no emotion, which is used as a threat throughout the film. The opening scene shows one of the main characters, Lewis, calling in a panic to report that another character, Nick, has been injured by Codi, setting up suspense and mystery. We use techniques like camera angles, editing, music and props to further immerse the audience and develop tension, in line with typical thriller codes and conventions.
Assignment 26 – individual pitch
The document proposes an opening scene for a horror film based on the home invasion subgenre. The scene would show a victim communicating with emergency services while hiding from an intruder in their home. Tension and fear would be built through the victim's cries for help and the cutting off of their phone line. The intruder would find and stab the victim to death with a knife. Key conventions like the use of masks, knives, and failed emergency responses would be employed. The goals are to create an intense, realistic scene through staging, camerawork, acting, and special effects like fake blood. Inspiration is drawn from the tense opening of the film "The Call."
Literary Devices in Narratives
This document discusses various narrative devices that authors use to shape stories. It defines a narrative as a retelling of events and explains that narratives shape history by constructing a series of events. It then outlines several common plot devices like plot twists, red herrings, and deathtraps that aim to advance or misdirect the plot. Additionally, it examines literary techniques used to provide backstory context through visions, dreams, flashbacks, and prophecies. The document concludes by presenting different types of story endings such as cliffhangers, twist endings, and resolutions through poetic justice or deus ex machina interventions.

The man who wasnt there
This trailer summarizes a crime film set in a suburban area. It establishes that the main protagonist is an experienced barber who may be privy to private information from his clients.

Transitions between clips hint at relationships between scenes that are not yet fully clear. The rising action includes confrontational dialogue that hints at a climactic revelation about what the barber did.
Drama
Drama is fiction intended to be performed by actors on stage and interpreted by directors. It aims to create tension that engages the audience and tells an intense story in a short period of time. Like fiction, drama tells a story of human change through a protagonist struggling against an antagonist. However, in drama the story is brought to life through actors, props, costumes and dialogue rather than just words on a page. Plays must externalize characters' thoughts, limit settings to what can be portrayed on stage, and use stage directions and dialogue rather than just narration to move the story forward in a focused and intense way over a continuous live performance.
Thrillers by esther
A thriller is a genre found in literature, movies, and television that uses suspense to keep audiences wondering what will happen next. Thrillers typically involve crimes or horror and feature extraordinary things happening to ordinary people. Thrillers are normally marketed toward late teens to early thirties who enjoy psychological movies and like to be fully engaged in the movie experience. Conventions of thrillers include dark color schemes, themes of isolation, props like guns to create tension, and constant twists in the plot. Thrillers differ from horrors in that they focus more on realistic reactions and the victim's perspective through suspense, while horrors emphasize graphic violence for its own sake.

Lesson 2
Glossary of Literary Terms
When you study literature, like any other discipline, you should become familiar with the terminology that is used. There are more terms than those listed below, but this list is a good place to start. The terms below are listed in alphabetical order.
Alliteration is a poetic method of repeating the first consonant sounds in a line of poetry.
Assonance is a poetic method that relies on close repetition of vowel sounds to create rhymes. The rhymes may seem to be just a little off, not quite what one might expect. For example, vowels sounds are sometimes close, but not identical, like love and prove.
Audience: This is the reader. Unlike the audience for a TV program, the audience for fiction must be engaged. That means the person reading the story, novel, play or poem, has to work a bit to get everything out of the literature that the creator put into it.
Character: The protagonist is the character at the center of the story, the main character; sometimes called the “hero” or “heroine,” the protagonist does not necessarily act in a “heroic” manner. Sometimes, there is a major character that works against the interests of the protagonist whether he/she realized it or not. This character is called an antagonist. Sometimes, the protagonist meets his or her match in the antagonist.
Major characters are those characters about which the audience learns the most and comes to care about the most while minor characters are less central to the story than major characters.
Round characters are very clearly individuals. They seem like real people. The audience gets to know a lot about them because they express a full range of human emotions and are firmly placed in the community.
On the other hand, flat characters can be somewhat lost in the background, needing to be in the story, but not the main part of it.
A dynamic character is one that changes during the course of the story because of what he or she experiences in it.
A flat character does not change throughout the course of the story. He or she is the same kind of person at the end of the story as he or she is at the beginning.
Dramatic elements are those elements that apply to plays. Reading a play is somewhat artificial because plays are merely scripts of dialogue whose true meaning does not come alive until the play is performed before a life audience.
The dramatis personae is a list of characters in the play. The terms for “character” apply here. There are no narrators in drama, unlike other fictional forms.
An act is a large division in a play made up of “scenes.” They function like chapter breaks in a book. The number of acts and scenes varies from one-act plays to plays with several acts. Usually, the text of the play also applies numbers to the lines of the play (not the sentences or paragraphs).
Dialogue is the term given to the words characters speak to each other. A soliloquy is a speech by one character given alone on the stage that gives the chara ...
Short Story
A short story is a brief work of fiction that focuses on a single incident or conflict. It emphasizes human nature and values through limited characters and events occurring over a short period of time. Key elements include a plot involving a conflict, characters that may undergo some change, and the use of symbols, themes and point of view to convey emotion and meaning in a concise manner.
Scruggs fiction notes to post
This document provides an overview of different genres of literature including fiction, nonfiction, poetry, epics, drama, and novels. It then focuses on defining terms related to narrative fiction, including setting, mood, stereotypes, diction, style, theme, conflict, plot elements, characterization, and more. Key points covered include the differences between external and internal conflict, how to remember the standard plot structure, and how to identify and write a theme statement for a work of literature.
Evaluation
The document discusses how the media product represents different social groups. It focuses on representing teenagers, using them as main characters to appeal to a wide audience that can relate to the issues portrayed. Specifically, it features a group of British teenage friends dealing with independence without caution. While some stereotypes are followed, like a setting in the woods, others are subverted, such as having the protagonist and antagonist be different genders than typically seen in thrillers. The goal is to capture a realistic portrayal of rebellious yet respectful British teenage culture and appeal to audiences both within and outside the UK.

It then discusses elements of Petrarchan love like oxymoron and antithesis seen in Romeo's dialogue, and tasks finding examples and analyzing their effect and what they reveal about Romeo. Finally, it expresses confusion about how to play a character in this scene and how the audience should feel.
Theory of Novel
The document defines the novel and discusses its key characteristics and elements. It begins by defining a novel as a lengthy prose narrative driven by character actions and thoughts. It then discusses some key aspects of novels like having a believable plot, well-defined characters, and a sense of realism. The document also outlines different genres of novels like mysteries, science fiction, fantasy, westerns, horror, thrillers, romance, and historical fiction. It concludes by detailing important elements that make up novels, such as plot, characters, setting, point of view, dialogue, conflict, and resolution.
Elements of a Short Story
The document discusses various elements of short stories, including plot, characterization, setting, point of view, symbols, and theme. It provides examples from short stories like "Blonde" and "Wild Meat and Bully Burgers" to illustrate different literary devices. Key elements of short stories like exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and resolution are defined in relation to the plot of "Blonde". Methods of characterization such as direct and indirect are explained using examples from stories.
Narrative elements
There are 7 key elements that make up the components of narrative: plot, setting, character, atmosphere, theme, point of view, and literary devices. The plot is the sequence of events in a story and can involve various types of conflicts. The setting establishes when and where the story takes place through descriptions of place, time period, weather, and social conditions. Characters fall into the categories of protagonists, antagonists, dynamic characters that change, and static characters that remain the same. Atmosphere and theme convey the overall mood and central message of the story. Point of view determines the perspective that the story is told from, such as first person, third person omniscient, or third person limited. Literary devices

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
