In photography and digital photography the shutter speed is the unit of measurement which determines how long shutter remains open as the picture is taken. The slower the shutter speed, the longer the exposure time. The shutter speed and aperture together control the total amount of light reaching the sensor. Shutter speeds are expressed in seconds or fractions of a second. For example 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4000, 1/8000. Each speed increment halves the amount of light.

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.

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.
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.

9. Camera Types z
• Today there are many different types of camera available to use.
• Super 8mm cameras and film
• Initially favoured for home movies the film comes in 50-foot
cartridges (2 min 30 secs at 24 frames per second)
• 16mm Cameras and film
• Ideal for shooting low budget independent movies on film. Quality
is high and can be blown up to 35mm for cinematic release.
• Super 16mm cameras and film
• Is close to 16: 9 in ratio and offers a better quality for blowing up to
35mm
• 35mm cameras and film
• Professional format and expensive
• DSLR cameras (Canon, Sony, Nikon, Panasonic)
• Red 4k Nearly four times the quality of high definition
11. Camera Parts:
• Viewing Monitor (On Most Professional cameras you would use a
separate calibrated monitor as the viewer is not reliable enough for
accurate colour balance or exposure.
• Hot Shoe: For attaching accessories such as extra microphones or a
light.
• Viewfinder
• Battery: Obviously always remember to have this fully charged before
shooting.
• Iris Control
• Focus Ring
• Zoom Lens
• Lens Hood
• Microphone (Good quality cameras should have XLR inputs for
separate microphone inputs)
• Image Sensor
• Manual Override/Function Buttons
14. Shooting Ratio: 16: 9 Versus 4: 3
• We will be shooting on the Panasonic GH5 in 16: 9 (Widescreen)
Aspect Ratio’s explained:
• The aspect ratio of an image is its width divided by its height.
• When cinema attendance dropped, Hollywood created widescreen
aspect ratios (such as the 1.85:1 ratio mentioned earlier) in order to
differentiate their industry from the TV.
• 16:9 (generally named as: "Sixteen-Nine", "Sixteen-by-Nine" or
"Sixteen-to-Nine") is the international standard format of HDTV as
used in Australia, Canada, Japan, United States and Europe.
17. Video recording modes
• 4K 10bit 4:2:2 at 25/30p (50/60 frames per second)
• 4K 24 frames per second
• Creating high quality & natural motion/slow motion
• Full HD 1080p 24 frames per second
20. ISO
ISO ratings determine the image sensor’s sensitivity to light, each
value of the rating represents a “stop” of light, and each
incremental ISO number (up or down) represents a doubling or
halving of the sensor’s sensitivity to light.
ISO is actually an acronym, which stands for International
Standards Organization.
The lower the ISO rating, the less sensitive the image sensor is
and therefore the smoother the image.
The higher the ISO rating (more sensitive) the stronger the image
sensor has to work to establish an effective image, which thereby
produces more digital noise.
Increasing the ISO, allows for shooting in lower light situations, but
The ISO rating, which ranges in value from 25 you increase the amount of
digital noise inherent in the photo to 3200
22. APERTURE
A lens’s aperture is similar to the pupil in our eye. When we are in a dark
room our pupil opens up to let in more light and on a bright sunny day it
closes down to let less light in.
The blades on a lens aperture the opening in the diaphragm that determines
the amount of focused light passing through the lens.
At a small f-stop, say f/2, a tremendous amount of light passes through, even
at a fraction of a second; but at f/22, when the diaphragm is perhaps at its
smallest, only a tiny amount of light is let in (even at longer shutter speeds).
24. APERTURE
With a large Aperture you
will get a shallow depth of
field.
Remember the lower the
number the larger the
aperture!!
With a small aperture you
will get a deep depth of field.
Which one of the images on the right
has a deep depth of field?
When might we want to use
a Shallow and a deep depth
of field?
25. SHUTTER SPEED
Shutter speed is measured in fractions of a second, and indicates how fast the
curtains at the film plane open and close.
The shutter speed controls how long light enters the lens and hits the image
sensor or film plane. Snapping the shutter gives you control on how motion is
recorded.
If the shutter speed is faster than the object or background, then the image will
be tack sharp. If the shutter speed is slower, then you’ll get blurred objects.
Think about the rain in a rainstorm, how fast is that water falling? Well, at
1/30th the raindrops are streaks of undistinguishable white. But at 1/250th, the
raindrops hover in mid air and you can see the full swell of each water drop.
27. White Balance
• Professional video cameras have built-in filters, which
you set according to the light you’ll be shooting under.
28. Shooting Basics/Tips
• Organisation - You need to be organised when you are filming.
Make sure you have your memory card, battery’s are charged and
the camera is in the right mode
• Make sure you have your shot list or storyboard so that you know
which shots you are going to film.
• Framing - Normally it's better to use a tripod. If you can't use a
tripod, it's easier to hold the camera steady if you zoom out and
get in close to the subject.
• vary the framing: use a long shot or a wide shot to show the
context, and use close-ups to show details and emotions.
• Shoot separate shots rather than reframing and waving the
camera about while you're filming.
29. Shooting Basics/Tips
• If you do use camera movements, have the camera moving smoothly in
one direction. Pan and tilt your shots smoothly.
• Don't zoom while you're filming unless it is integral to the narrative
• Check the light - Try to film where there is plenty of light, and don't mix
different light sources such as daylight and fluorescent light as this will
make the colours appear strange. Don't shoot into the light or against a
very light or dark background.
• Shoot enough material – Don’t start the action immediately start the
camera rolling and then after a few sections say action or start your shot.
Shoot at least ten seconds of each shot (count one second, two seconds etc
or watch the counter in the camera viewfinder.)
30. Different Shots
• Television programs and films are made up of hundreds and
thousands of pictures, called shots, each of which must be carefully
planned.
• The long shot, medium shot, and close-up (and many other
camera-subject distances such as the medium long shot and extreme
close-up) are the basis of editing in movies and on television.
• Without these shots, the person who edits the movie, TV show, or
commercial would have nothing to work with. Editing, in nearly all
cases, is the combining of long shots, medium shots, and close-ups
to create an effective visual presentation.
• Conventions aren't rules: expert practitioners break them for
deliberate effect, which is one of the rare occasions that we become
aware of what the convention is.
32. Camera Shots
• Long shot (LS). Shot which shows all or most of a fairly large subject (for
example, a person) and usually much of the surroundings.
• Establishing shot. Opening shot or sequence, frequently an exterior
'General View' as an Extreme Long Shot (ELS). Used to set the scene.
• Medium shots. Medium Shot or Mid-Shot (MS). In such a shot the subject
or actor and its setting occupy roughly equal areas in the frame.
• Close-up (CU). A picture which shows a fairly small part of the scene, such
as a character's face, in great detail so that it fills the screen. It abstracts the
subject from a context.
34. Shot Angles
• Angle of shot. The direction and height from which the camera takes the
scene. The convention is that in 'factual' programmes subjects should be
shot from eye-level only. Viewpoint. The apparent distance and angle from
which the camera views and records the subject.
• Point-of-view shot (POV). A shot made from a camera position close to the
line of sight of a performer who is to be watching the action shown in the
point-of-view shot.
• Two-shot. A shot of two people together.
• Selective focus. Rendering only part of the action field in sharp focus
through the use of a shallow depth of field. A shift of focus from foreground
to background or vice versa is called rack focus.
• Soft focus. An effect in which the sharpness of an image, or part of it, is
reduced by the use of an optical device.
• Wide-angle shot. A shot of a broad field of action taken with a wide-angle
lens.
• Tilted shot. When the camera is tilted on its axis so that normally vertical
lines appear slanted to the left or right, ordinary expectations are frustrated.
Such shots are often used in mystery and suspense films to create a sense of
unease in the viewer.
36. Camera and Lens
Movement
• Zoom. In zooming in the camera does not move; the lens is focussed down from
a long-shot to a close-up whilst the picture is still being shown.
• Following pan. The camera swivels (in the same base position) to follow a
moving subject. A space is left in front of the subject: the pan 'leads' rather than
'trails'. A pan usually begins and ends with a few seconds of still picture to give
greater impact.
• Surveying pan. The camera slowly searches the scene: may build to a climax or
anticlimax.
• Tilt. A vertical movement of the camera - up or down- while the camera
mounting stays fixed.
• Crab. The camera moves (crabs) right or left.
• Tracking (dollying). Tracking involves the camera itself being moved smoothly
towards or away from the subject (contrast with zooming). Hand-held camera.
A hand-held camera can produce a jerky, bouncy, unsteady image which may
create a sense of immediacy or chaos. Its use is a form of subjective treatment.
• Process shot. A shot made of action in front of a rear projection screen having on
it still or moving images as a background.
37. The Rule of Thirds
• Proper framing
• The first thing to learn is how to frame your subject. If you’re a still photographer
you’ll already know about the rule of thirds. This works for filmmaking as well.
• The rule of thirds:
This is a general principle in photography, which is generally considered to make
shots more appealing to the eye. One can easily visualize this rule by taking a frame
and dividing the horizontal piece into three equal sections and dividing the vertical
in three equal sections. This creates 9 equal sections. Where these sections meet are
four points on the frame. By aligning the central object into these points of the frame
(often called the power points), instead of centering the object, you get more
aesthetically and professional-looking shots.
Common uses of this rule in video are:
• Framing an interview: The eyes of your subject should fall in one of the upper
powerpoints and the subject should be looking towards the empty space on the frame.
• Shooting a horizon: Rather than position the horizon on the center of the frame,
align it along the upper or lower third depending on what you want to
emphasize. For example, if you’re shooting a cloud time-lapse you will want two-
thirds of the shot centered on the sky.
43. Continuity Editing
• Continuity editing is the standard approach to editing used in
Narrative film
• It is the process of combining related shots into a sequence so that
the viewer is able to understand the narrative across both time and
physical location
45. Shot/Reverse Shot
• Definition: Two shots edited together that alternate characters,
typically in a conversation situation. Usually characters in one frame
look left, and in the following frame look right
46. Establishing Shot
• Definition: A long shot or extreme long shot that shows spatial
relations between the important figures, objects and setting in a
scene
47. 180 Degree rule
How to achieve it
The angle between any two consecutive shots should not exceed the
180 degree rule, in order to maintain spatial relationships between
people and objects in any given sequence of shots
49. Match on Action
Definition: A cut between two shots that places two different framings
of the same action next to each other, making it seem to continue
uninterrupted
50. Eyeline Match
Definition: A cut between two shots in which the first shot shows a
person looking off in one direction and the second shot shows either a
space containing what he or she sees, or a person looking back in
exactly the opposite direction
Example: Rear Window
51. Final Tips
• For any scene, identify where the key light source is
coming from and whether it has a hard or soft quality.
• Prevent ugly lens flare: don't point the camera at hard
light sources and avoid solely backlit subjects.
• Try to exclude bright windows from indoors shots.
• Outdoor pictures look best in early morning or late
afternoon light.
• If it looks good, it is good - if it looks bad, it is bad!
53. EXERCISE 1:
COMPOSITION
Record a short (10 seconds) clip of an outdoor scene with one
principal subject.
First, place the subject in the exact center of the frame. Then, reframe
the scene by moving your camera or changing your position to use
the rule of thirds to place the principal subject in one of the key
positions shown. Record a short clip.
Find a second subject that’s either closer to the camera or further away
than the first subject. Record two clips, one with the subject centered
and the other using a different one of the four placement points of the
rule of thirds.
54. EXERCISE 2: BALANCE
Record two short clips of two different subjects. First, pick a subject
that doesn’t move and record a clip with the subject centered in the
frame and then adjust the frame to provide proper balance.
This can be a person looking out of the frame or an object that requires
balance.
Second, select a moving subject, such as a car, that will require you to
pan to keep the subject in the same portion of the frame. Record the
first clip with the moving subject in the center of the frame and the
second clip placing the subject in the frame in a way that will give
balance to the shot.
Because panning with a moving subject takes some practice, you may
want to do this several times. Remember to move from an
uncomfortable position to a comfortable position.
55. EXERCISE 3 BALANCE:
COLOURS
Use one of your actors as the subject and place your subject against
backgrounds of different colors/textures (brick, wood,painted surface etc)
both neutral (white, gray, and black) and bright colors.
Record short clips of the different combinations and then review to see
which ones provide a sense of balance that places emphasis
on your subject rather than the background. Balance is to some degree a
subjective thing. The more combinations you try, the more you’ll learn.
56. Task
Exercise: The daydream
Using one camera, first create a shot list and then film a sequence as follows:
Person A is working at a desk. They start daydreaming.
In the daydream, they nervously walk along a corridor and approach a door.
They don’t know what’s on the other side.
They walk through the door and see Person B, someone they hadn’t expected
to see. The dialogue goes as follows:
Person B (in a sinister voice): Hello.
Person A (who’s just walked through the door): Oh no! What are you doing
here?
Person B (the person in the room): I could ask the same thing about you.
57. Your sequence must include at least eight separate shots.
It must include at least one each of the following:
• long or wide shot
• mid shot
• close up
• big closeup or extreme closeup
You may not use zooms. You may use only one camera movement - in one
direction - only.
Use a storyboard to help you plan your sequence. Recce the location to
work out where the camera should be.
Think about how you can use framing, camera angle, lighting (if
available) and editing to:
• show Person A's nervousness
