This document outlines plans for a thriller film opening. It will target young adults by including typical thriller themes like psychological confusion and distrust. Key conventions that will be featured are crime, a complex plot, suspense, grimy settings, and a plot twist. The main character, Freddie, suffers from schizophrenia and hears voices from his imaginary friend Enzo. Research has been done watching thriller openings for inspiration. Locations, personnel, and potential problems are also addressed to prepare for filming.
This is a propsal which myself and my other group members created using powerpoint.
The propsal tells you in detail about our thriller opening we are going to make.
In our proposal we have explained the details rejected and why, we have explained our inspirations and the themes of our thriller opening.
We have also explained and gone in to detail about the possible music we are thinking to create as we are creating our own music and what kind of music/opening music inspires us. We have also explained the casting ad thriller conventipns and explained our final idea for our thriller opening.
This is the pitch we made for our opening scene.
We got some good feedback from the group including:
The fact we had good detail
They liked the genre and concept we had

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.

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.

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.

3. Target audience
• The themes and conventions we have
included will make it appeal to our target
audience (young adults) because they are
typical of the thriller genre.
• It will also intrigue them as they will be
confused by what's going on and therefore
will want to find out what happens later on
4. Themes
Psychological:
• Confuses the audiences minds with the plot
twist of Enzo shooting someone – they
thought she was imaginary
• We have chosen this theme as we have found
it is effective in thrillers we have watched eg.
Shutter island, Inception and Déjà vu
5. Themes
Distrust:
• Freddies friends do not believe him and think
he is crazy
• This makes the audience empathise with him
even though he is committing crimes – this
typical of a thriller because everyone has a
different opinion
6. Key Thriller Conventions
Crime:
• In our Thriller opening we are including a lot of
crime. Such as, robbery (stealing), gun
violence, assault.
• These are common features in Thriller films
because they build suspense and tension. They
also give the audience a mystery and it helps to
keep them intrigued.
7. Key Thriller Conventions
Complex Plot:
• In our Thriller opening there is quite a complex
plot. Freddie is obviously suffering from some
sort of mental illness, as he is seeing a ‘friend’
called Enzo.
• Complex plots are essential in Thriller films
because it leaves the audience confused and
bursting to know more. They also try to make
assumptions of the plot ending – which will keep
them more intrigued because they want to know
if they have guessed right.
8. Key Thriller Conventions
Suspense.
• We are going to edit our film to have a lot of
suspense. We will start our film off with very slow
paced editing and then as it goes along we will
speed it up.
• Suspense is very important in thriller films
because it is what keeps the audience on edge
and intrigued. Suspense will also make the
opening a lot more interesting and hopefully will
make the audience want to know more.
9. Key Thriller Conventions
Grimy Settings
• We will film most of our opening in the dark
and in relatively mysterious and gloomy
places.
• This is another key convention in Thriller films
because it fits in with the rest of the film
because thrillers hardly ever have a happy
story or ending.
10. Key Thriller Conventions
Plot Twist
• In our opening we are going to have a mini-
plot twist. We have the audience believing
that Enzo is just an imaginary friend. However
at the end of the opening she kills someone –
so the audience is left confused and wanting
to know more.
• This is very common in Thriller films because it
makes people think.
11. Freddie
• Freddie is and 17 year old boy who is
suffering from schizophrenia. He sees his
imaginary friend Enzo and is easily lead
astry by her.
• He is in a care home because his parents
committed suicide, and he found them in
their bedroom when he was 8.
• He has a group of friends from school
who are unaware of his past.
• We are planning for this to be played by
Tom Hayden because he has drama
experience and we able to rely on his
attendance.
12. Enzo
• Enzo is going to be a very complex character as the audience will be unsure
if she is real or not. They will begin to feel as though she is a bad an
imagination which just influences Freddie; however at the end of opening
she shoots someone.
• She will have a very run-down appearance (inspired by Bellatrix Lestrange)
• We have found a youtube tutorial which we will use for Enzo’s make up.
• Enzo is going to be played by Amelia as she is part of our group and
therefore will definitely be there.
13. The extras
• Freddie’s group of friends consists of four
people – two are supportive and want to help
him however the other two think he is just
crazy.
14. Personnel
• Freddie – Tom Hayden
• Enzo – Amelia Lewis
• Extras – Amy, Holly, Phoebe, Ellie, Zacc and Isaac
• Directors – Amy, Holly, Amelia and Phoebe
• Editors - Amy, Holly, Amelia and Phoebe
• Main camera woman – A variation between us all
• Make-up/ costume – Amy, Holly and Phoebe
• Explosion/ crime organisation – Amy’s Dad
15. Locations
• Forest – Ixworth
• Attic – Amy’s house
• Shop – Stanton garage
• Park – Rattlesden or Felsham
16. Research
• For our research we have watched loads of
openings of Thriller films to get some ideas.
E.g. Inception, Shutter Island, La Confidential,
The Dark Knight Rises, The usual Suspects,
Unstoppable and The Mummy.
• We will also carry out a survey asking people
what they expect to see and want to see in a
Thriller film to help us along the way.
17. Problems
• We may have the problem of running out of time
to film and edit – we shall prevent this by making
sure everyone keeps up and meets deadlines.
• We may have problems with going overtime on
our Thriller film as it is a complex plot and we
need to make sure we inform the audience all
they need to know to understand it without
giving away too much or going over time. – We
will make sure this doesn’t happen by planning
each scene very carefully.
