The document discusses several influences on the filmmakers' horror film production:
1) Alfred Hitchcock pioneered the use of suspense and orchestral scores in horror films, which can help the filmmakers balance shots and accompany them with music.
2) The filmmakers' antagonist is like the character in Psycho in that he appears normal but suffers from voices, similar to the murderer in that film.
3) Several other directors like Wes Craven, James Wan, and films like Se7en and The Silence of the Lambs provide examples of techniques and characterizations that could influence the filmmakers' production.
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.

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.
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.

2. He is influential in the shaping of our
production as his filming technique
pioneered the horror genre through the use
of suspense and orchestral scores of
music.
This affects our production as it can give us
an insight to how correctly balance shots
for full horror effect and to accompany the
shots with our (planned) contrapuntal
music.
An example of this would be in his
production Psycho which, after the death of
the main protagonist, through the iconic
shower scene, revolutionized the genre,
creating the fear that anyone could be a
murderer or a "psycho". This is relevant for
our production as our murderer is normal
apart from the voices he is suffering from.
3. • He was influential in forming and directing “slasher” and
horror films. HE is known for lasting horror films like
Scream and The Nightmare on Elm Street.
• He pioneered the “metahorror” genre with the production
of “the Nightmare on Elm Street”, this means that it is a
self aware production which deliberately uses
stereotypes, sometimes breaking them ironically
• This influences our production so we could do the most
used conventions, but using them to comment on the
genre itself; through sarcastic use of them. We could
comment sarcastically on the conventions on our
antagonist due to the fact in stereotypical horrors – the
antagonist has distinctive features, whilst in our
production at the start you can only tell he is different
through the audio. SO this disregards the conventions of
a mutilated or obvious antagonist
• We can also examine Craven’s auteur signature as when
he makes a horror production he also ties it with another
subgenre like a horror-thriller. He also creates the
“psychological idea of the villain” where throughout the
productions various people can inadvertently becoming
the antagonist – shown in the “Last house on the Left”
where the antagonist shifts from Krug to Mari’s parents.
4. Makes “one-note” ideas into pieces, allowing for a simple plot and
through line.
He would be influential in shaping our production as he undermines
his audience, making them expect one thing but have a different
outcome instead. This would be in our production as through the
addled vision of the antagonist, who suffers from mental illness,
thinking he is doing one thing; however he is doing something dark.
His filming technique also plays on peoples “primal fears” an
example being darkness, which is shown in his production “Lights
Out”. This can be effective in our production as we could play on
the primal fears of “mutilation” as one of the victims will loose an
hand or an arm.
5. An example of his expertise is show in the end
of SAW’s end scene as one person is being left
behind. As there is no lighting creating a dark
scene apart from the green hue coming from
the open door, creating a feeling that the door is
there but it is out of reach. The green lighting
helps increase the tension and desperation in
the room. The two contrasting tones in the
scene reflect the two outcomes that the two
characters are presented with, one surviving,
the other dying.
We can also apply the auteur theory to Wan, as
in his pieces, for example Insidious, he
performs and long shot and take alongside
appropriate non-diegetic and diegetic music –
this establishes the tone of the piece as well as
the setting.
6. Twisted Pictures deal with mainly horror releases. This could have a positive
influence on our production as they have a large repertoire of previous releases and
experience, this could allow our production to have the most potential as a horror
centred piece. Twisted Pictures has also been known to create successful short films,
but mainly longer productions.
Furthering this it can influence our production as their experience in the horror genre
could increase the tension and other conventions of horror. This would make the
production become more cinematic and believable. However twisted pictures is US
based which is negative as we have created a very British representation of the short
films location and themes as we have also not conformed to various conventions and
stereotypes in the horror / thriller genre, therefore it would not be as suitable as
needed.
7. This would be influential for our
production as this institution
focuses on “innovative video
content”, this would allow us to be
advised in the creation stage of
our concept and the
accompanying distribution and
marketing stage.
8. The introduction of John Doe’s character as the antagonist in the horror film
“Se7en” influences our production through the confronting representations of
mental illness in the production and how it is portrayed as a man with a lack of
emotion and empathy. This can influence our productions portrayal of the
mentally ill antagonist as there can be clear differentiations, however there is
the line shown that he has crossed into insanity.
9. The production “Silence of the Lambs” is influential to our production through the
characterisation of the people in the piece. This would be beneficial for our
production as the introduction of the characters is important to make the production
believable.
