Holly Taylor analyzes how her music video both uses and challenges conventions of real music videos. She took inspiration from music videos like The Smiths' "This Charming Man" by including an intro title, but challenged conventions by making the title dissolve to reflect the theme of a dissolving relationship. While most music videos use multiple settings, she only used two (a park and house) to appear more realistic. Her narrative was inspired by Fight Club but challenged conventions by rewinding events to reveal they were imagined. Color effects and a black-and-white filter also challenged conventions. Overall, she strived to balance conforming to expectations with unique, challenging elements.

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.

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
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.

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions
of real media products?
For my music video, I was influenced by already real media products in particular with the theme of the
narrative I created for my music video as well as with the overall style and characters in my video. For
preparation for my music video, I analysed already existing music videos in order to understand the
already existing conventions of music videos I intended to take inspiration from. Aspects in my music
video such as camerawork and characters are typical conventions of music videos and so therefore
conforms to typical forms, however, there are aspects of my music video that challenge forms and
conventions of music videos such as editing techniques and narrative style which differs from the
narrative I took inspiration from. I decided upon conforming to typical conventions of previous media
products by including an introduction to my music video. This is similar to The Smiths' music videos, such
as for This Charming Man where the title appears at the beginning in a bold white font and fades through
the editing where they include the title of the song as the introduction this is to establish the name of the
song straight away so it is easily recognisable for audiences and can attract an already established target
audience of fans of The Smiths.
However, I challenged forms and conventions by using an editing
technique in order to make my introduction title dissolve, this was in
order to link the title towards the underlying theme of a relationship
breakdown and how easily relationships can be dissolved and so
conventional forms of media products have been challenged.

For the setting of my music video, I analysed three other music videos before deciding upon settings to
include in my music video. In previous music videos that I analysed, I established
that multiple settings are often used in music videos in order to maintain a visually
enticing appeal to the music video. However, in some of the music videos I
analysed, a constant setting is used, such as in the music video for Take That's
Said it All. In this music video, the only setting featured throughout is the setting of
a performance stage and backstage of this setting, yet the
video is still engaging for the audience. And so, throughout
my music video, I decided upon using the main two settings
of a park and also a house intended to be the character of
Alex's home. I decided upon just using two main settings
which challenge yet conform to typical conventions of music videos. As although I
have featured more than one location, I have limited my choice of settings to just
two, this is in order to still appear visually engaging for the audience yet more
realistic which is how I intended my music video to appear. I chose to use the
setting of an empty isolated park when the character of Alex was alone to make the
feeling of isolation become evident as well as a cold looking colour palette with a frosted look to the
setting. On the other hand, I chose the locations of a warm colour palette home in order to establish the
happy emotions the characters felt when they were together in their relationship.
For the narrative of my music video, I broke typical conventions but also conformed
to their conventions. My narrative took inspiration from the narrative of Fight Club,
as I decided upon using the theme of events rewinding to reveal the fact that the
whole events that were previously depicted at the first half of
the music video were imagined by the male protagonist, this
challenges typical conventions as this style of narrative isn't
typically used in indie music videos. Through the special
effects of my music video I changed the colour effect over
the whole clips, to a blue colour, this was in order to
establish the colour conventions of power and create a
dreamlike effect for the music video. I used the colour effect of
black and white effectively to challenge conventions of music
videos by using the black and white filter as a symbol of a moment of clarity for the
main protagonist before the events are rewound to reveal how the events were a
figment of his imagination. I chose the rewind transition to challenge typical
conventions of music videos as this transition is not typically featured in music videos
and therefore makes my video appear unique.
The two characters that feature in my music video are typical of the indie genre, as
the two main characters are female and male teenagers as shown through the establishing opening shot
of Alex at the beginning of the music video this therefore conforms to the typical conventions of the indie
genre. Throughout the scenes featured in my music video, the couple are shown to be doing typical
things teenage couples usually do such as watching films together
and taking a selfie together.
