Lev Kuleshov was a Soviet film theorist and director who developed the theory of montage, which is the editing and juxtaposing of film shots to imply meanings and tell a story. He conducted the famous Kuleshov Effect experiment to demonstrate how montage can manipulate audience perception. Sergei Eisenstein expanded on Kuleshov's theories of montage, identifying five types: metric, rhythmic, tonal, overtonal/associational, and intellectual/ideological. Montage uses editing techniques to condense time and meaning in a film through rhythmic pacing and juxtaposing of images or ideas.

The jump cut is a technique which allows the editor to jump forward in time.
We see an early version of this technique in Eisenstein‘s Battleship Potemkin, where the battleship fires a mortar round and we watch the destruction as various angles jump cut from one to another.
In this very early version of the jump cut, contemporary audiences were introduced to a new way of time passage in film.
It obviously gained traction and is one of the most used types of cuts today next to the hard cut.The technique of the cross-cut, also known as parallel editing, is where you cut between two different scenes that are happening at the same time in different spaces.
When done effectively you can tell two simultaneous stories at once and the information being given to the audience will make complete sense.
The formulation of a research problem is the most crucial part of the research journey as the quality and relevance of your research project entirely depends upon it.
The process of formulating a research problem consists of a number of steps. Working through these steps presupposes a reasonable level of knowledge in the broad subject area within which the study is to be undertaken and the research methodology itself.
A literature review is a systematic review of the published literature on a specific topic or research question.
The literature review is designed to analyze-- not just summarize-- scholarly writings that are related directly to your research question

TV In the context of: “Uses and Gratification approach”Rijitha R
Uses & Gratifications approach arose originally in the 1940s and underwent a revival in the 1970s and 1980s. It presents the use of media in terms of the gratification of social or psychological needs of the individual (Blumler & Katz 1974). The mass media compete with other sources of gratification, but gratifications can be obtained from a medium's content (e.g. watching a specific program). Zillmann (cited by McQuail 1987: 236) has shown the influence of mood on media choice: boredom encourages the choice of exciting content and stress encourages a choice of relaxing content. The same TV program may gratify different needs for different individuals.
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.

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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. Lev Vladimirovich Kuleshov
• Lev Vladimirovich Kuleshov, (born Jan. 1 [Jan. 13, New Style], 1899,
Russia—died March 29, 1970, Moscow), Soviet film theorist and director
who taught that structuring a film by montage (the cutting and editing of
film and the juxtaposing of the images) was the most important aspect of
filmmaking.
• Kuleshov also trained actors and directors at the Kuleshov Workshop, which
had been formed in 1920. After being officially censured in 1935 for
emphasizing the technical composition of films rather than their social
content, he produced no major films.
• His major theoretical works are Art of the Cinema (1929), Practice of Film
Direction (1935), and Fundamentals of Film Direction (1941).
3. Kuleshov Effect
• The primary principle of the montage style was invented by Lev Kuleshov in 1918 is bringing the shots that
do not have any relation but makes a connection by what comes before and after the shot. This effect is called
as “Kuleshov Effect” which was the initial stage of evolution of montage.
• This effect can be better explained with an example from Kuleshov experiment where he juxtaposes shots
from several films and edit it into a sequence that narrates its own story.
6. Sergei Eisenstein
• Sergei Eisenstein, in full Sergei Mikhailovich Eisenstein, also
spelled Sergey Mikhaylovich Eisenstein, (born January 22, 1898,
Riga, Latvia, Russian Empire—died February 11, 1948, Moscow, Russia.
• Russian film director and theorist whose work includes the three film
classics Battleship Potemkin (1925), Alexander Nevsky (1938), and Ivan the
Terrible (released in two parts, 1944 and 1958).
• In his concept of film montage, images, perhaps independent of the “main”
action, are presented for maximum psychological impact.
7. Montage
• Montage is a word that came into the English language in the 1920s.
• The pioneer of the montage was Sergei Eisenstein, a Soviet film director active in the the 1920s through
World War II. Eisenstein mostly used the montage to convey an idea, though today, montages are often used
to signify the passage of time. The word montage is derived from the Old French word monter, meaning
to get on top of or to mount.
• By definition, a montage is "a single pictorial composition made by juxtaposing or superimposing many
pictures or designs.
8. Montage- Definition
• Montage is a technique in film editing in which a series of short shots are edited into a
sequence to condense space, time, and information. The term has been used in various
contexts. It was introduced to cinema primarily by Sergei Eisenstein
• The word ‘montage’is rooted in the French language as a term to describe the connection
of individual pieces
• Eisenstein who was also making his own experiments exceeded “Kuleshov Effect” giving
out montage which is also called “Soviet Montage”. ‘Montage’ means bringing the
conflicting images/shots together that gives a unique contrast leaving a shock and
anticipation for the audience. Eisenstein believed that more the conflicting the shots are
the more it is intellectual leaving its audience in shock which also stirs their inner
emotions.
9. Types of Montage
• According to prominent Soviet director Sergei Eisenstein, there are
five different types within Soviet Montage Theory:
1. Metric,
2. Rhythmic,
3. Tonal,
4. Over tonal or Associational and
5. Intellectual or Ideological.
10. Metric Montage
• It is a simple montage style where the long scenes are shortened to a length called
as ‘absolute length’ of the shots without affecting the essence of the original story
or its emotion.
• This type of montage is used to create a suspense and tension which is usually fast
paced and has abrupt cuts that doesn’t have continuity but makes sense of the
complete length of the shot.
• Where the editing follows a specific number of frames, this is based purely on the
physical nature of time, cutting to the next shot no matter what is happening
within the image. The reason for this is to get an emotional reaction from the
audience.
12. Rhythmic Montage
• The practice of cutting according to the content of the shots, or continuity editing. This is
the most commonly used form of montage. Each shot’s length derives from the specifics
of the piece and from its planned length according to the structure of the sequence. The
cutting happens for the sake of continuity. This creates visual continuity but it may also
be used in order to keep with the pace of the film.
• In contrast to metric montage, this style of montage focuses on the rhythm of the action
taken place which is equal to the actual length of the shot. This type eliminates the
abruptness and the unexpected jump from one shot to other. The best example of
rhythmic montage is “Odessa steps” from Sergei Eisenstein’s “Battleship Potemkin”, a
Russian classic. The relationship made with soldiers marching down the steps towards the
protesters. Each step taken forward shows the emotions of the group of protestors who are
trying to flee from the soldiers pouring bullets.
14. Tonal Montage
• A tonal montage uses the emotional meaning of the shots. Not just manipulating the temporal
length of the cuts or its rhythmical characteristics. Tonal montages rely less on the timing of the cut
and more on the representation of each shot.
• Instead, it’s a combination of both metric and rhythmic montage to highlight any emotional
themes that may be present at that particular point of time in your story. These shots can be
matched by both video and aural characteristics.
• For example if the heroine of the film commits suicide after a huge emotional imbalance it is shown with
drifting piece of cloth in the air that reaches the hero while he tries to reach. The drifting piece of the
cloth conveys the message of the fallen heroine. Such type of scenes brings in emotional quality to film.
16. Overtonal or Associational Montage
• The simultaneous use of all the three above montages in a combination forms the overtonal
montage creating conflict between the shots.
• Each element from each type of montage is derived and established into helping induce an effect
from the audience. The audience should feel emotionally connected in some form.
• That interplay mixes pace, ideas and emotions to induce the desired effect from the audience.
• In the Odessa steps sequence, the outcome of the massacre should be the outrage of the audience.
Shots that emphasis the abuse of the army’s overwhelming power and the exploitation of the
citizens powerlessness punctuate the message.
18. Intellectual or Ideological Montage
• The practice of cutting according to the shot’s relationship to an intellectual concept.
• Uses a combination of shots from outside the film in order to create a meaning.
Intellectual montages move from the scene to analogies of what that scene represents. It’s
completely OK and in fact nearly required that footage from completely outside the scene
is mixed in to hit the audience at an emotional level.
• A good example of this would be the scene from Apocalypse Now where Kurtz is being
assassinated. They mix in shots of a water buffalo being slaughtered.
