Scenario

The bit you get to choose!

This scenario will be based around an online or ‘virtual’ event.

In order to try and cater towards your interests and thus spark ideas and creativity, your event can be one of the following:

• A music festival

• A non-music festival (basically, instead of bands have something else – i.e. comedy)

• An online convention like ‘comic con’ – obviously give it your own name and theme.

The Scenario

It goes without saying that 2020 has been a tough year for the live entertainment industry and the effects are still ongoing in to 2021.

With many industries and events moving to an online model, it is perhaps unsurprising that some see an opportunity for live events to do the same.

You have been asked to develop a marketing website for an online event (in line with the choice you made above).

The organisers are well aware that they can never capture the atmosphere of an in-person event, however they would still like their website to be themed appropriately.

This is a promotional website – it is not a ticket selling website (assume they will use something like ticket master for that), thus you need not concern yourself with the selling or booking of tickets.

There are some core requirements that this website must have (at absolute minimum):

• Line up – It must promote the different acts/guests that are expected.

• Stages/Channels – Like most events, this will have multiple things happening simultaneously (like how music festivals have different stages) – Our virtual event will be no different. Themed ‘stages’/’areas’/’channels’ (depending on your choice) should be represented on the website.

• This event will take place on the 30th July through to the 1st August – This should be very clear!

• An FAQ or advice page – Just a page to inform people of what they can do in advance (i.e. install Zoom or sign up to a streaming service)

• A contact us page – this must have an appropriate HTML form on it.

Additional notes

Regarding the theme and layout of this website, that is up to you. Style your website as you feel appropriate – in the way that you envision when you imagine an event like this.

Take music festivals for example:

• Reading and download traditionally go for darker themes.

• Glastonbury goes for a more ‘earthy’ kind of theme.

• Isle of Wight is normally a little more vibrant.

• Bestival normally announces a theme each year and creates branding around that.

In other words, you have creative freedom over how it should look, as long as it is appropriate. You may want to consider the fact that it is an online event and give it a more futuristic or cyber like theme.

Tasks

There are two elements to this assessment:

• A website – based on the above scenario.

• Supporting documentation – To be submitted as a word or pdf document alongside the website.

The Website

The main element of this assessment is the development of a website based on the scenario (see previous page).

I have provided detailed grading criteria (page 4) which will state what the website must do to achieve the different grades.

You must only use the following to develop this website:

• HTML

• CSS

• JavaScript

• Node JS
o Express

o MySQL o EJS

Any technologies that were not covered in this unit will not be counted and any features developed using them will be overlooked.

(Bootstrap and JQuery, whilst mentioned in the unit, are not to be used)

Supporting Documentation

This will be a brief and concise document that will be written after you have completed your website.
It should detail the following.

• Very clear and concise evidence that your website meets the requirements as set out in the scenario (above) and the grading criteria (below)

• Proof that your website conforms to W3C standards (use their online validator)

• Explanation of the client-side and server-side components used in the construction of the website.

• Legal and ethical considerations
o What makes the website accessible? (i.e. alt text on images)

o What legal considerations have been made? (sourcing images from websites like pexels for example)

• (Where applicable) – What security considerations have been made.

• Testing – Show basic evidence of testing (The website works on different browsers etc)

Sample Solution

Sample solution

Dante Alighieri played a critical role in the literature world through his poem Divine Comedy that was written in the 14th century. The poem contains Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. The Inferno is a description of the nine circles of torment that are found on the earth. It depicts the realms of the people that have gone against the spiritual values and who, instead, have chosen bestial appetite, violence, or fraud and malice. The nine circles of hell are limbo, lust, gluttony, greed and wrath. Others are heresy, violence, fraud, and treachery. The purpose of this paper is to examine the Dante’s Inferno in the perspective of its portrayal of God’s image and the justification of hell. 

In this epic poem, God is portrayed as a super being guilty of multiple weaknesses including being egotistic, unjust, and hypocritical. Dante, in this poem, depicts God as being more human than divine by challenging God’s omnipotence. Additionally, the manner in which Dante describes Hell is in full contradiction to the morals of God as written in the Bible. When god arranges Hell to flatter Himself, He commits egotism, a sin that is common among human beings (Cheney, 2016). The weakness is depicted in Limbo and on the Gate of Hell where, for instance, God sends those who do not worship Him to Hell. This implies that failure to worship Him is a sin.

God is also depicted as lacking justice in His actions thus removing the godly image. The injustice is portrayed by the manner in which the sodomites and opportunists are treated. The opportunists are subjected to banner chasing in their lives after death followed by being stung by insects and maggots. They are known to having done neither good nor bad during their lifetimes and, therefore, justice could have demanded that they be granted a neutral punishment having lived a neutral life. The sodomites are also punished unfairly by God when Brunetto Lattini is condemned to hell despite being a good leader (Babor, T. F., McGovern, T., & Robaina, K. (2017). While he commited sodomy, God chooses to ignore all the other good deeds that Brunetto did.

Finally, God is also portrayed as being hypocritical in His actions, a sin that further diminishes His godliness and makes Him more human. A case in point is when God condemns the sin of egotism and goes ahead to commit it repeatedly. Proverbs 29:23 states that “arrogance will bring your downfall, but if you are humble, you will be respected.” When Slattery condemns Dante’s human state as being weak, doubtful, and limited, he is proving God’s hypocrisy because He is also human (Verdicchio, 2015). The actions of God in Hell as portrayed by Dante are inconsistent with the Biblical literature. Both Dante and God are prone to making mistakes, something common among human beings thus making God more human.

To wrap it up, Dante portrays God is more human since He commits the same sins that humans commit: egotism, hypocrisy, and injustice. Hell is justified as being a destination for victims of the mistakes committed by God. The Hell is presented as being a totally different place as compared to what is written about it in the Bible. As a result, reading through the text gives an image of God who is prone to the very mistakes common to humans thus ripping Him off His lofty status of divine and, instead, making Him a mere human. Whether or not Dante did it intentionally is subject to debate but one thing is clear in the poem: the misconstrued notion of God is revealed to future generations.
