A series of 'mats' I use for analysing different aspects of film language. Useful for film and media studies, there is a variety of 'mats' here that I've found to be very useful for students who are analysing or revising when working with whole films, key scenes, or extracts. The final page of this PDF document contains a description/explanation of how I have used these documents in my classroom.

Film Language: Editing explanation examples and worksheets. Ian Moreno-Melgar
A long and detailed look at what editing is in Film and how it helps to not only present a story to the audience but how it functions on a technical level. The presentation is broadly split into two areas: Pace and Transitions. Each section contains a definition, a range of examples (many of which are gifs and videos which obviously won't play on here) and some activities for students to engage with.

A comprehensive revision guide to the current WJEC GCSE Film Studies Paper 1, focusing on Hollywood films. This revision guide and workbook focuses on Superhero films, the film industry, how movies are marketed, has explanations and guides as to how the exam works and a series of exercises, worksheets and bespoke tasks for students. I've used this with my own students for the last 2 years and have had some great feedback from it. However, as with all of my resources, please note that it's by no means a definitive guide and there is plenty that could be improved or developed.
Decision Making Model (Consequences Model)Self-employed
Consequences never be offended. Even a good decision good for single side, it also have the other side of consequences. If we focus consequence, we never can manage anything.
If a baby come to experience the consequences of falling downwards, he may never try again and again to endure up. If a tree knows the consequences, that it may be cut into planks, then it may never wish to turn.
On life things, mostly put you down, it would be well to settle like an infant or a tree. Obey the Laws of Universe, every decision may have a nimbus or a lesson for learning. Pleasure always in the journey, not in the destination. Keep start a journey. It's salutary to hold an end in mind before starting. Drawn up for the worst and it would never be happening. Engage in a Decision for your lifespan.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
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
1. Case Study On Concept Art
The company I chose to look at for this task was Atlus. Atlus are a Japanese video game
development company that specialise in anime styled video games. The games they make
are very unique and feature strange gameplay mechanics, along with fantastic artwork and
soundtracks and, of course, the gripping and extremely satisfying story lines. Their
artist/concept artist is “Shigenori Soejima”, and he is responsible for the art and concept art
of the persona series, the Catherine game and Shin Megami Tensei series. Which have all
become well known for their story, gameplay, soundtrack and art style.
The role of “Shigenori Soejima” or any concept artist for that matter is to create detailed
drawings (or rough ideas) of what a character or location should look like. Sometimes it
takes one or two different designs before settling with a final design. Or, it could take
them as many as ten designs before they settle on a final design. A concept artist like
“Shigenori Soejima” is to work from a given brief and create characters that are as close
too, if not exactly, the same as the brief instructed. So, for example if a concept artist was
handed a brief that said the development team wanted the character of “Dave” to look
like a tough guy. The concept artist would have to think about what makes someone a
tough guy? The clothes they wear? The way they stand and move around? The way they
look, so like scars and a cigarette? When it comes to creating landscapes the artist must
take into consideration the type of game he’s going to be creating this for as well as the
characters. For example, if the development team wanted a place where all the
characters meet up on a regular basis then he must think about what the characters look
like and what their personalities are like. By this I mean that if a character was supposed
to have a social anxiety disorder then they wouldn’t hang out in a heavily populated area
like a town centre.
This is a picture of “Shigenori Soejima” himself:
This picture was taken while he was at work in P studios making some persona 4 concept
art (as can be seen in the background).
2. Below are some examples of “Shigenori Soejima’s” work:
This one of the last pieces of concept art created for the persona 3 game as it includes the
female protagonist exclusive to the persona 3 portable game. This drawing has the whole
persona 3 cast besides the Persona 3 FES character from “The Answer” Metis and the
people from strega.
This piece was design as something fun for “Shigenori Soejima” to make. It shows the
Persona 4 Golden character Maire modelling on a modified FD3S RX-7.
3. This piece was designed as an idea image for one of the games cut-scenes where Aigis the
robot fights Ryoji.
“Shigenori Soejima” uses the anime art style is every piece of work he does. He does this
mostly because of his work brief and because he’s Japanese and since this kind of art
style is Japanese it is fitting for him to use such a style. One other reason behind this
would be how popular the anime art style is, if you can make good anime characters your
work will be well respected in Japanese culture. “Shigenori Soejima” typically draws high
school students (typical of the anime art style) although, in comparison to most other
artists of this particular style he makes his characters easily recognisable when compared
to other artists work. When trying to identify typical use of colour for “Shigenori
Soejima” it’s hard to pin point anything in particular like a most used colour or any type
of pattern. “Shigenori Soejima” uses a variety of different colours for every piece of work
he produces, for example: In the game persona 3 (including 3FES and 3 portable) the
colour theme could be associated with the colour blue; since it fits well with the theme of
the game and works well on every character he put this on (picture above and first
picture are a good example of the blue colour scheme). But, in persona 4 (including
4Goledn) the theme is yellow, example below:
4. This piece was designed to show case the Persona 4 characters. Despite one missing
(Teddie) who was added later on in the production.
And, in all of the Shin Megami Tensei series the associated colour is black, along with
many other dark colours. With this series there is only one thing that can be said about
the use of colour, its dark. An example is shown below:
These pieces are concepts of some of the bosses within the game. And, as you can see the
colour scheme is very dark like I mentioned above.
