The document discusses casting ideas and concepts for a comedy film trailer. It proposes Kevin Spacey for the role of "The Boss" due to his ability to play strict characters comedically. Seth Rogen is suggested for the main role of "Geoff" because he can portray funny but sympathetic characters. Various setting ideas are presented, such as Geoff's messy bedroom, the office where he works, and locations for his lucid dreams. Sarah Silverman and Joe Lo Truglio are referenced for other roles due to their experience in subverting stereotypes. Special effects ideas include incorporating video game icons and explosions to indicate dream sequences.

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.

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.

While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.

2. The reason I chose Kevin Spacey is because I think he can play quite a strict character but then
also add a comedic value to it as. He would also be good for the boss character because of his
age and how he usually dresses in other films. The audience would love him and hate him at the
same time as well, because of his attitude when it comes to a role like this. Comedy films that
Kevin Spacey has been involved in are Horrible Bosses 1 & 2 and Fred Claus. The person to play
this character will probably have to be one of my school teachers because they are both of
similar age and both wear suits for their roles. This type of character would usually be very sly,
fearless and harsh.

(The Boss)
3. I think that Seth Rogen would be the best actor for my main role because I
wanted to have a main character that is funny, but also nice enough that the
audience will feel sympathy towards him if something bad happens to him.
Previous comedy films that Rogen has starred in are This Is The End, Pineapple
Express and Knocked Up. I have a friend who could play this specific role
because he looks similar to Rogen and can also perform like him as well. The
expected conventions of this particular character are that he is vulnerable,
alone and seeking to achieve new things.

(Geoff)
4. This is the sort of idea I had for what Geoff’s
room could look like. I feel like the untidiness
could reflect on Geoff's life and show the
audience how he usually lives his everyday life.
Geoff's Bedroom
5. Darin Brooks
(Brad The Room Mate)
To play Geoff’s room mate, I want to use someone that has similar
properties to Darin Brooks. The reason for this is because Brooks
behaviour in the Blue Mountain State series is extremely wild and
always seems to annoy his friends, no matter what he does. He also
adds in humour, which could be beneficial in my film trailer as I would
like there to be some element of humour in their as well.
6. Now here is another scene idea that thought of. A
stereotypical office. This could be where Geoff works for
a job and he hates this place so much, he always falls
asleep. The Boss will be located here and any encounters
that we see of Geoff and The Boss, will be here.
Office where Geoff works
7. For The Girlfriend character, I chose Sarah Silverman as
inspiration. The reason for this is that she is well known
for playing attractive women but with a bit of backbone
to her and completely oppresses the archetype of being
the “princess that needs rescuing” in her film roles.

(The Girl)
8. This picture symbolizes our idea of what the film is all about.
Lucid Dreaming. The idea of Geoff learning the ability of being
able to fall asleep and control his dreams on demand is the main
element to make his life less miserable. This is most likely our
unique feature in our film.
Idea of Lucid Dreaming
9. As a keen video game lover, I wanted include some iconic game
props/icons that our target audience will recognize. They will be
included in Geoff's dream sequences, as Geoff also likes video
games as well. Not only will I have this icons post-edited, I will
probably include some cool nerdy props as well!
Memorable icons for dreaming
sequences
10. Along will the video game icons being added in with special
effects, I thought, why not add some cool explosions with these
effects too! I will probably use this in a confrontation scene, like
The Boss encounter as it will help remind the audience that Geoff
is in a dream and not in reality.
Ideas on special effects
11. Dreams are a form of escapism from reality right? So I thought
Geoff should dream about being in a happy place. This will place
a more positive and uplifting mood on the film and drift away
from all the fighting and the dull life of Geoff that the audience
are constantly reminded of.
Positive Lucid Dreaming
12. This image gave me an idea of where Geoff and The Neighbour
can meet. A quite neighbourhood usually means nothing can
go wrong, until Geoff meets his annoying neighbour and can
never seem to get rid of him.

residency
13. In contrast to the happy location of dreaming, I thought it was
only right to have a bad location too. This lava-filled planet could
be used as a symbol of something bad happening to Geoff, kind
of like in Star Wars Episode III, where the famous Anakin
Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi fight occurred.
Negative Lucid Dreaming
14. Joe Lo Truglio
(The Neighbour)
Jo Lo Truglio would be the perfect actor to play our
neighbour. As much as he is very annoying in his film
roles, we cannot help but still have a soft side towards
him. Like in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, he never fails to make
the audience laugh with his awkwardness and cute looks.
15. Finally, my favourite part of special effects, is adding in bright
neon lights and text to our film! This will most likely be included
during fight scenes and also any pop up text. I want to look like a
video game pop up, like in Scott Pilgrim VS The World because I
think it works well with the type of film it is can possibly work
well in our film.
