The opening sequence of Gone Girl immediately signals that this is a thriller genre film. It begins with a loving action of a man combing his wife's hair, but he speaks violent words about killing her in a dramatic monologue, putting the viewer on edge. The titles that appear are consistent in introducing the main actors, Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike. The production company logos are also shown to fit the blue-tinted, unsettling tone of the opening scenes of the isolated seaside town. The editing, sound design, and cinematography come together to create an ominous and mysterious atmosphere through the use of cool colors, unpopulated settings, and unsettling sounds. This grabs the audience

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering.

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.

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.

1. The Art of the Title
Gone Girl (2014, David Fincher)
By Alex Davies
2. How GENRE is signaled in Gone Girl
Genre is signaled immediately in the first scene and
first thing on screen after the production company
idents is a man combing his fingers through a
woman’s hair. The opening sequence uses a voice
over, a man speaking as a dramatic monologue:
“When I think of my wife, I always think of her head. I picture
cracking her lovely skull, unspooling her brains, trying to get
answers. The primal questions of any marriage, what are you
thinking? How are you feeling? What have we done to each other?”
The contrast between the loving action and the
violent words immediately puts the viewer on edge:
their marriage and the amount of hatred between
them is something to be revealed later in the film.
This film ends the same way as it begins, which
leads to an important revelation in the film, which is
an effect called foreshadowing.
3. TITLES in the Gone Girl Opening
One convention of opening sequences is that they
contain credits: the principal actors feature
immediately after the production company idents.
The titles shown in the Gone Girl opening are
consistent. The main actors of the film (Ben Affleck
and Rosamund Pike) are the only actors in the film
mentioned before the main title is shown situated in
the middle of the screen against a black backdrop,
which makes it clear that they are the main actors in
the film. After the main title all the other key
supporting actors featured in the film appear in
bottom left and bottom right corners.
All the titles in the Gone Girl opening fade out and
make the audience feel uncertain as if there is no
certainty in the reality that we are watching.
4. PRODUCTION COMPANIES in the Gone Girl Opening
The production company idents are shown in the
first moments of the film. These production
companies are, 20th Century Fox and Regency
Pictures. None of the idents have sound and the
20th Century Fox is tinted blue. This is to fit in with
the opening since the flashes of the seaside town
are presented blue, showing that the production
company ident was changed to fit the film’s opening.
5. MISE-EN-SCENE in the Gone Girl Opening
Every aspect of the opening mise-en-scene is
designed to disturb and upset the viewer.
The set is lonely and contains cool colours as after
the main title is shown it flashes to a sea side town
with shades of blue and grey which doesn’t make
the film seem welcoming. In addition, these colors
have a tendency to feel like they are receding (or
backing away from you), like the titles of the actors
are.
As well, in all the flashes, the town in uninhabited
and secluded. From this we assume that the film will
be mysterious and ominous.
6. EDITING in the Gone Girl Opening
The only instrument in the background music during
the opening is a harp, which seems calm, yet
mysterious since the harp slowly comes in after the
clip is shown. As well, the background sound
effects in the opening seem unwelcoming and
creepy, like crankling noises and hostile bird
chirping, making the overall sound of the opening
emotionless.
The vision of the ‘Gone Girl’ opening is mysterious
how all the flashes of the sea side town are similar,
which makes the audience have a realisation of
unsteadiness, between them and whether
something will happen.
7. NARRATIVE & CHARACTERS in the Gone Girl Opening
In the opening of ‘Gone Girl’, the audience
is drawn in due to the silent indents. The
first scene is immediately shown of Ben
Affleck combing his fingers through
Rosamund Pike’s hair, which makes the
audience more aware and how they would
expect him to say something pleasant
about his wife, however says murderous
thoughts. This draws the audience by them
making this being a thriller.
