This document analyzes how the film trailer challenges conventions of real media products like teaser trailers. It discusses several key elements:
The simple title is shown at the end to focus attention on the film's name. Locations in alleyways and abandoned places give viewers a character's POV perspective. Costumes were chosen by actors to suit characters. Editing uses cuts and jumps to show passage of time. Text fonts fade in/out to link to time jumps. The story introduces mystery rather than revealing character details upfront. Special effects include gunshots and reality distortions through cuts.

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.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Evaluation Question 1 plan (trailer)
1. EVALUATION QUESTION ONE
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge
forms and conventions of real media products ( i.e of teaser
trailers)
In answering this question I am going to break it down into
separate areas that I will look at individually whilst linking them to
my final production.
2. THE TITLE OF THE FILM
The title of my film challenges conventions of most trailers as the text is quite simple. I did this because I
wanted all the viewers attention to be focused on the text for as long as possible, as the name of
my film is quite important to how the rest of the film works together. In our actual trailer this shot
left after at the end to give the audience’s attention on what the movie is called so they don't forget
the name of it. We as a team also positioned this at the end of the trailer though as with most
trailers I did this so immediately the viewer knows they are watching a trailer for the film “When
kings fall”.
3. SETTING/ LOCATION
The location and setting for our film trailer also challenges a lot of media conventions. This is because
we all filmed most of my trailer in a alley ways, abandoned places and relatively urban areas. We
did this because it applied to our genre film (crime), but it was also the way that I filmed these
areas that made them different. As we filmed some of the main character of film in pov, it gave
them a new perspective to the viewer. This meant that the viewer would feel like it was them in
that area or situation. This I think helped to create a bond between the viewer and the characters
in the film. I think this worked well because of the settings, as if it were any other environment I
don’t think It would not have had the same effect.
4. COSTUMES AND PROPS
Within my film I decided to use quite normal Clothes based on the actors ages
and appearance. This lead to me letting the actors choose what the
wanted to wear, they then showed me and I told them if it suited the
image I was trying to create. This is different from the way other films are
created as in them there would be a set wardrobe and the actors would be
dressed, this wasn't a problem in our film because the actors we were
using already the same type of people as the characters in our film, so
the Clothes they wore already suited the image we were trying to create.
Throughout the film we didn't have to tell anyone to change as much as
these as they were all suited to the settings that they were in. The props
within the film were slightly different. When organising the props the only
real problem was trying to get props that suited the film scubas drugs and
guns since it alleged to have one around even if its fake. This was also a
problem as if we got catch with it and might been in serious trouble.
5. CAMERAWORK AND EDITING
Camerawork and editing this was quite important within our trailer as we
used the cuts and transitions to create the effect that time was jumping
and moving around. I think we have done this quite well within our trailer.
This was also very different to how most other films use the cuts and
jumps. We think this made our trailer quite different. We also used the
cuts and jumps to show a passage of time within the trailer. When doing
this me and our group had to make sure that the jumps lead into different
shots that started similarly. An example is above is of two similar shot I
linked together really quickly to show a jump in time. This convention
worked well in my trailer I think.
6. TITLE FONT AND STYLE
The texts and fonts I used within my film trailer are little bold as you see. I did
this because within my trailer they are only on screen for a couple of
seconds so they needed to be easy to read. I also used the text in a
specific way when doing the quotes, I did this text so that it fades in and
out from left to right. I did this so that the text can obviously be linked to
time jumping around.
7. STORY AND HOW THE TRAILER SET IT UP
The way we set up our trailer definitely challenges the conventions of
normal film trailers. It does this because in most film trailers the
trailer is revolved around making the viewer want to see the film by
showing best bits from the film. yours does, our trailer has done
that and makes the viewer want to know how it ends. I think this
has worked well.
8. CHARACTERS
Our main characters of the film are introduced within my trailer are very different to how most films
introduce there characters. This challenges the conventions of most trailers. I did this within my
trailer because We didn't want the audience to concentrate on who the characters were just yet as
that would be revealed within the film its self. The way we set this up within our trailer is by only
showing on character that would have been in the actual film. He is shown below and throughout
our trailer there are a number of sections where he pops up in a similar way to the selling drugs,
robbing people and killing. I think this has helped to create a air of mystery and confusion around
my trailer.
The shot below shows one of our main characters from a high angle and also low angle during the fight
scenes at the end of the trailer with close up of their face . This is one of the ways I introduced the
character without giving away a total portray of them or there role within our film trailer.
9. SPECIAL EFFECTS
Our film trailer did contain a little real special effects as for gun shots
but for crime trailer there's all of the fazing in and out of reality , I
shown by the cuts and jumps between. This is quite common within
the genre that I was aiming for. This means my trailer is similar to
them in this respect and therefore uses conventions seen within
crime genre and biographical film trailers.
