ENG4U CPT - AI Generated Images, Media Studies and Hamlet

AI generated images are created by, "using machine learning algorithms that analyze large datasets of images to generate new one". That answer is actually created by Google's Generative AI, Google Gemini. Google Gemini is a more advanced than Google Bard. You can ask AI to do many things, including creating images.

Meta's AI Llama is incorporated into many of its products including WhatsApp. It creates images using Imagine.

OpenAI's AI ChatGPT is used by many individuals and corporations including Microsoft. It creates images using DALL-E.

Google's Gemini is incorporated into a Google search. It created images using Imagen.

Padlet is a visual collaboration tool, and its "I can't draw" feature allows users to create AI images based on user prompts.

Let's take a moment, to take any minor character (no Victor or Hamlet!) from our course and to create an image of them using the Padlet link I provide in class.

Before we move on to the CPT, lets take a look at AI Bias. The AI Bias notes are in the Google Classroom.

Objective

Imagine that you are a social media content creator. You've spent time with Hamlet in high school and perhaps during your post secondary studies, but you've probably spent more time on social media building content. The Stratford Festival has approached you to create a social media text which will increase interest in Hamlet for teenagers. They want you to use AI to create the perfect image for an upcoming version of the play. Your image will go on their website, merchandise, promotional material, and traditional print media.

Using one of the free AI image generating services listed above, or any free one of your choice, create a still image (no movement) and, in short answer form, deconstruct a the image (media text) for an upcoming production of Hamlet at The Stratford Festival. Your objective is to persuade the viewer to want to see the play.

The CPT has 4 components, with 4 different due dates. Part 1 will be submitted in Google Classroom. Parts 2-4 will be done in class. See the course calendar for details.

Create

Using AI (see above for the list), create 1 image (media text) for Hamlet. Download either a .jpeg or a .png of your image to insert into your final assignment. You must also keep the phrase you used to create the image. You are not being assessed on the image the AI creates. You will be assessed on your deconstruction of that image.

Deconstruct

Deconstruct and analyse your image (media text).

Use short answer form to answer the following:

Identify a variety of conventions found in your media text. For each, crop your media text so your convention can easily be understood by the reader of the assignment. Refer to the cropped images as figure 1, figure 2, etc. Insert the figures after this response. Formal language, 200 words. Part 1 is submitted in our Google Classroom. See calendar for details. (Knowledge)
Explain both the overt and implied messages in your media text. Formal language, 200 words. Part 2 is done in class. You may bring only a hard copy of your course notes and a hard copy of Part 1. See calendar for details. (Thinking)
Justify specific words you chose to create your media text. Formal, 200 words. Part 3 is done in class. You may bring only a hard copy of your course notes and a hard copy of Part 1. See calendar for details. (Communication)
Describe the audience of your media text. Is there bias or inequity is in your image? Formal, can use "I" judiciously, 200 words. Part 4 is done in class. You may bring only a hard copy of your course notes and a hard copy of Part 1. See calendar for details. (Application)
