The document discusses the opening sequence of the film Limitless. It uses techniques like close-ups, zooms, and sound effects to create confusion and uncertainty for the audience. Close-ups of characters and objects imply importance but provide little context. Zooms slow the pace, while banging sounds suggest someone is trapped amid the slow editing pace. Overall, these techniques aim to engage the audience from the start by leaving them wondering what happened.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin

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.

3 opening sequences of thriller films
1. The opening sequence of Limitless, uses all 4 areas of media language; Cinematography, Mise-En-Scene,
Editing and Sound to engage the audience from the moment it starts. The beginning of the extract begins
by confusing the audience, as it starts part way through the narrative, leaving the audience to wonder
what has happened, encouraging them to continue watching.
During the extract the director creates uncertainty for the audience. It does this in several ways. Firstly, he
uses a lot of close ups of both the characters and objects and places in the room. This suggests to the
audience that these are of importance, however they are being given little information to work with and
understand what has happened therefore not knowing if the are significant for good or bad reasons.
Whilst this is happening the director also uses zooms to slow down the pace of the editing and make the
audience feel perplexed. At the same time as this banging sound effects are being used to connote that
someone is trapped, or something is happening on a time scale, this is a juxtaposition with the slow paced
editing as the knocking makes the extract seem more upbeat.
2. Se7en uses many conventions of the thriller genre, for
example;
The extract begins as we are shown a series of faced paced
clips, formed into a montage. The montage is not in
chronological order, this creates the idea that the
character is in the middle of an investigation, creating
confusion for the audience. During the montage, one
image has been blurred this can connote a sense of
danger, and unknown.
The sound during the opening extract is non diegetic, this
creates and builds the atmosphere during the first few
minutes. This creates a sense of mystery for the audience.
The audio also had no lyrics, therefore we got no narrative
from the opening sequence.
3. Flightplan had a much different approach to the thriller genre, because of this it
fitted different types of conventions to the other sequences we looked at.
During the extract the director uses Mise-En-Scene to show contrast. For example at
the beginning of the extract the high key and low key lighting shows the contrast
between the two scenes that are being crosscutted. High key lighting is used
whenever the woman is in the morgue, this is an anti-stereotype of thriller
movies, as stereotypically low key lighting is often used to create mass amounts
of confusion and mysteriousness.
Also during the extract the director uses cinematography to make the woman look
weak. For example, a few high angle shots of the woman are used. This makes
her look really small in comparison to the other people in the scene with her.
Linking with this, Mise-En-Scene is used to also connote that the woman is weak.
We know this because at the beginning she is sat at the train station, however
train stations are stereotypically busy, therefore this suggests she is alone. This is
a convention of the thriller genre as during thriller films, when danger is about to
happen the victim is alone.
At the very beginning of the extract the editing is very faced paced and non-continuous,
imitating a train the location swiftly changes to a train station.
