The student created a pop dance music video that challenged conventions by never showing the main characters together. They researched mainstream and indie artists to inform their work. While the video used conventions like lip syncing, it did not follow a clear storyline. The ancillary materials like CD covers and posters maintained continuity with the video through consistent use of images, fonts, and colors. Audience feedback helped improve shots that were off balance. The student used online resources, TV, radio, and campus equipment and software at various stages of research, planning, filming, and evaluation.

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.
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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2. In what ways does your media product use develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
3. My Music video genre would be classed as pop dance, in the group I worked in we went for the conventional idea of using a male and female as the main characters in the video, however we twisted it by never having them appear in the same shot at one point. The song we chose was not copyrighted song and so it was unknown we found the song on http://www.overplay.com/. Before choosing the song I did some of my own research away from the group I mainly researched mainstream groups like the Noisettes and Maximo park these are mainstream bands but have an indie twist I then contrasted this by researching solo artists like Beyonce and Pixie lott. My video challenges pop music videos out there as it does not have a clear storyline and so adopts more of the dance theme as many of them do not follow storylines such as the Chemical brothers- star guitar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssJutXkpSlY . My music video uses the conventions of music videos when our female actress lip syncs we felt this was appropiate to encurparate in as we had actors in the video, howver we decided we didnt want the whole video to revolve around this and so we used it only in one part which was when she was on the floor.
4. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts
5. The key thing that I wanted to come across when we created our ancillary products and our video was continuity. I feel I have achieved this very well as everything flows and relates to the video. We decided that four two of our four c.d covers we wanted to use a photo of the artist as when we researched other videos many of them had the artist as the front cover. When we came to film we changed the location and so are Original photos had to be changed mainly due to there quality which was poor because of lighting issues. These are the two images we chose not to use we initially wanted to go for a black and white theme but changed this after altering this product.
6. These are the two photos that we took on the second location that we chose to use for our ancillary products as the lighting lights up our actress’s features and reflects off the car giving it a clear clarity.
7. This is the front cover of the c.d we altered the contrast and brightness to highlight the Black and white as in or video many parts our dark. We have also kept the continuity by using the recorder in the photo. The use of text is used the whole way through the ancillary products. The video has frequent shots of the car and so we decided to use her in the car as the front cover of the c.d. Also her facial expression in this shot was how we wanted her to look passive but with attitude.
8. We chose this as our inside cover where the c.d will sit. This can also been seen in the video in the snapshot below the photo. We chose the change the Kenwood to miss déjà vu for individuality. The shape of the speaker also we thought worked well because of the c.d being round.
9. This is the inside cover we created using Corel like all the other shots. We were unsure what we wanted to do for this cover and so we decided on a collage effect of the artists name mainly because we see her as a somewhat self obsessed person and a page full of her names fitted well which I believe contrasts with the video because we see this attribute in her character in the video.
10. We decided that we wanted this c.d cover to be just simple like other c.d covers like James Lloyds back under ours. We kept the continuity with the black and white, however we altered the font so the buyer can easily read it easily.
11. This is the poster we created, we again kept the continuity with the font, colour, and the recorder. We used the artist on the front as like other band and solo posters most had the artist on them.
12. When deciding on the ancillary products it was crucial that both the c.d cover and the band poster linked not just for continuity but for the audience to see the connection, if the audience are quickly able to see what the poster is like they are more likely to read it as there attention has been caught. We decided to use photo images from the video for ancillary products because we thought if we were in the position of the artist and we believed that she would like the route we went for ancillary and video project.
14. I have continually used audience feedback through out my planning filming and of my finished product. Before even beginning to plan we asked ten people what they thought of when they heard the song. This is the first audience feedback that we got. When we had finished the video I set up a link to my blog where the video was so that people could leave there comments here are some of what they left. “This video works well as the shots fit with the track however some shots are slightly off balance” “very good video the lip syncing looks good and the choice of transitions” We also used feedback for ancillary products which many people thought were very good as they all flowed well against one another.
15. How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning evaluation stages.
16. The media technologies I used for research was mainly the internet the TV and the radio. I Found you tube particularly useful as this gave me full access to music videos and with the ability to leave comments I was able to see what people thought about the videos which helped in my own planning. I was able to use the TV because of the many music channels that available on free view and Sky. Many of these channels also have text in spots where the public can say what they think about the videos which is useful to use. I also found the radio one a very useful media resource as the live lounge enables the audience to leave feedback and although it was not relative to videos it helped in my choice of song.
17. When planning I used the blog website BlogSpot to keep all of my planning on this allowed people to leave comments who wanted to and was very simple and easy way to put my planning on the internet. It was also very easy for me to upload videos and all of my ancillary products etc. BlogSpot also allowed me to evaluate my work far easily as it is all listed by dates and a clear easy way to see it.
18. To film my video I had to use the hand held cameras that were at my college as we had no budget and so had to use the ones provided. I found that the cameras were not great quality and one main problem we had was that when we came to upload the footage to imovie some shots that when looked at on the camera were not wonky but on imovie were. I had to use a new package of imovie this year as our college had had a software update it took a while to get around the new software but was of a better quality for a amateur style editing package. When creating my ancillary products I used the professional cameras at college and then used the package Corel This was my first attempt using Corel I found Corel hard to use at first however by the end I was far more comfortable with it.
19. I also had to use garage band as my song was slightly too long for the amount of the footage I had so I cut part of the song at the end I could of faded the song however I found cutting through garage band was more effective. I also experimented with Green screen at college however I found that it was very time consuming and did not give and effect that I wanted for my Music video. For my evaluation I chose to do a slide show as I feel it is a clear way to evaluate my work you can clearly see my work and the text allows it to be explained clearly which I may have had problems with if I has used an audio approach.
