The independent British film Ex Machina was distributed by Universal Pictures. It made $33 million worldwide after its release. To market the film to its target audience of 15-25 year olds interested in technology and sci-fi, the distributors used social media, the film's website, and promoted the filmmakers. They sold the film digitally through iTunes and as Blu-Rays, which would appeal to the tech-savvy audience. The film was a success, winning four awards at the British Independent Film Awards including best film and best director for Alex Garland.

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 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.
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.

2. What is film
DISTRUBUTION?The meaning of film distribution is the process of making a movie available for viewing by an audience,
especially a target audience targeted to the specific film. This is normally known as film distributor, who
would determine the marketing for the film, the media by which a film is to be exhibited or made
available for viewing and who may set the release date and other matters on the film. The film may be
exhibited directly to the public either through a movie theatre or television, or personal home viewing,
such as; VHS, video-on-demand, download, television programs through broadcast syndication, etc. For
commercial projects, film distribution is usually accompanied by film promotion. However, when it comes
to films, film distribution always takes place on the credits page at the end of the film. Usually there is
always a page with information about the credits for the film distribution, as it’s a big part in the film as
well.
Who DISTRIBUTED THE FILM?The company that distributed the film was one of the biggest film companies in film industry;
Universal Pictures
3. How did they get it?
HOW MUCH?
Once the film was released worldwide, the independent British
film made $33 million (as an estimated number).
How did they MARKET THE FILM?
What was their campaign?
The way they market their film to their audience would have been by the use of different social media
accounts and their very own film official website for Ex Machina. They decided to market their film this
way because of the use of technology the target audience uses for this specific film as its also a young
audience from my opinion of the age of 15-25 years old.
The use of the idea of the campaign is by the way of them promoting by the productions that also created
this film, Film productions and DNA productions.
4. How did they SELL THE FILM TO THEIR TARGET
AUDIENCE?
Why would they campaign?
The way they would sell the film to the target audience once
it would have been released would have been in the cinema,
released world wide by different dates, release on DVD, being
able to download on different devices from via iTunes films.
Or simply also by buying the Blu-Ray DVD version of the film.
The download idea of selling the film would have been a very
popular way to buy the film as the target audience is a young
audience. As it also the audience that would use internet,
different devices and always communicating through the
social media as a daily basis. In my opinion the second best
method to sell the film to the audience would have been
through Blu-Ray DVD film as a hardcopy so the target
audience could view it at home at anytime they would wish as
many times they would wish.
The idea of campaign and making advertisements out of it
would be by the idea that the target audience would be able
to find this adverts easily through the social media as they are
always connected online as a audience online with the same
interests as they like the same film with the same genres that
explains this film.
5. SYNERGY?
-The interaction or cooperating of two or more organisations, substances, or other
agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate
effects.
Further information:
There were no special effects, or green screens or tracking markers used during the filming. All effects
were done in post-production. To create Ava’s robotic features, they filmed the scenes both with and
without actress Alicia Vikander’s presence, which allowed them to capture the background behind her.
The parts they wanted keep especially like both parts, like her hands and face, were then rotoscoped
while the rest was digitally painted out and the background behind her restored.
6. Use of
TECHNICAL TECHNOLOGY?
In London, there was an event, Double Negative. The technologists behind Ex-Machina and winners of
two Oscars for visual effects and computer animation work on previous films, Inception and Interstellar,
went one step further…
The visual reality team created a VR experience by using a custom built digital spherical stereo camera
designed for use with its 3D rendering software. The result allowed the viewer, wearing the Samsung
Gear VR headset, to look around the entire hi-res environment and to ‘meet’ Ava using a specialised
Android Oculus playback app.
How SUCCESSFUL WERE THEY?
Ex Machina was the big winner at the December British Independent film awards- four awards:
-Best British independent film
-Best director Alex Garland
-Best screenplay Alex Garland
-Outstanding achievement in craft for it’s visual effects, by Andrew Whitehurst
7. How is the FILM MARKETED TO THEIR TARGET
AUDIENCE?
Ex Machina is a film rated for the age 15 by BBFC which is very sensible choice by the adult scenes that
are not considered to be rate for a 18 by neither lower than the age of 15. This film would be targeted to a
‘niche’ audience. This film is also not associated as a mainstream film but it also it doesn’t mean that
mainstreamers wouldn’t be able to watch it, which they would. It just means that the viewers would be a
smaller audience, towards especially women who also like sci-fi films as one of the main genres of the film
is sci-fi and also romance which can associate more easily to a women audience. As it also has a
‘controversial’ and quite complicated storyline it does limit the audience in gender and age group too.
My potential opinion on Ex Machina's film audience demographics:
-Gender: Females (as the main character is the women as she shows power throughout the film)
-Age:15-25
-Interests: Technology, sci-fi
-Location: USA and UK (screened)
