Film sound is carefully designed and added during post-production to emphasize important elements and set the atmosphere. Sound can be either diegetic, existing within the film's world, or non-diegetic, coming from outside the world. Selective sound is used to emphasize key sounds, while ambient sound creates a sense of place. Film sound is also carefully mixed and can be synchronous, matching visuals, or asynchronous and originating outside the story.

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.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
1. Sound
Film sound is as important and as carefully controlled as the visual elements of a
text. Although sound is often recorded on set, most film sound is added in post-
production
Film sound will be mixed very carefully to ensure that important sounds are
emphasised and that the correct atmosphere for a sequence is maintained
Selective sound is: Used to emphasis key sound elements within a sequence
Ambient sound is: to create a particular atmosphere or a sense of place
Other elements of sound design to look out for:
Sound bridges – sound to help transitions between sequences pass more
fluidly
Sound effects – to create a sense of realism or to create a psychological
impact or effect
Sound can be either:
Diegetic – that is, it exists within the world of the film or
Non-diegetic – that is, it emerges from outside the world of the film, eg film
soundtracks
Diegetic Sound Non-Diegetic Sound
Voices of characters
Sounds made by objects of the story
Music represented as coming from
instruments in the story space
This is the sound coming from within
the films world
It can be either on screen or off
screen depending on whatever the
films frame is – to create different
meanings for an audience
Narrators commentary
Sound effects added for dramatic
effect
Musical score/ soundtrack
Non- diagetic sound coming from a
source outside story space
Depends on understanding of
conventions of film viewing and
listening
Eg a sound effect is added when you
punch someone, they fall over ect..
2. Film sound can be either:
Synchronous – when a sound effect is matched with another technical event
or action – reinforces the effect
Asynchronous – originates outside of the diegetic reality of the film
Contrapuntal – noise of effect that doesn’t match the visuals
Other elements of sound design to look out for:
Voiceovers – voice of the person on the screen normally coming from their
head
`
Theme music – we know who the good and bad people are from the music
playing around them
Musical Score – the music that goes underneath
Silence – normally only moments of silence to provoke a reaction from the
audience
