The document discusses the effectiveness of combining a music video with ancillary texts like advertisements and album artwork.
It explains that the creator planned from the beginning to portray a consistent theme across the music video, digital album, and magazine advertisement. Inspired by artists like Calvin Harris, the creator styled the performer in matching outfits for the video and ancillary shoots. Images from the advertisement and album cover were also reused to improve continuity.
The creator analyzed popular music videos and incorporated a common narrative device - a dream sequence about a lost relationship. This theme was then carried through consistently in all three media products to represent the story and genre conventions. Overall, the document argues that the ancillary texts effectively complement the music video

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”.
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.

Question 2
1. HOW EFFECTIVE IS THE
COMBINATION OF YOUR MAIN
PRODUCT (VIDEO) AND
ANCILLARY TEXTS (ADVERT)
By Will Brooks
2. SYNERGY
• Prior to the task, we planned to use Synergy in our project as we decided that we
wanted to portray a similar theme in all three documents (music video, digipak and
magazine advert. I was fortunately able to construct research about current artists
and how they have portrayed their products.
• I was heavily inspired by Calvin Harris and his work, which enabled me to have a
good example to look at throughout the process. Although he is a DJ and his music
involves features, the albums and magazine adverts portray similar elements in
comparison to what I have produced.
3. STYLING AND IMAGERY
• Luke was able to wear the same clothes throughout the filming process. This was
heavily involved in all of my three products and we were able to give off the same
effect throughout. This therefore improved our continuity and looked as if they were
all filmed and photographed at the same time. For the digipak, I decided that I was
going to use the same picture as I did for the magazine advert. • I looked at David
Guetta’s and Jessie J’s album and digipak cover prior to the completion task, and I
therefore saw that both images were the same. I used this in my project and it made
it look more professional as if a company has created them.
4. CONTINUITY
• I decided to shoot the digipak and magazine advert outdoors because we decided
that we were going to aspire to achieve something like what Calvin Harris had
produced in his 18 months album. This is a convention of our genre, and we
therefore wanted the two ancillaries to look as professional as it can be. • I managed
to insert a lighting correction to my music video, which allowed me to suggest that
the specific film was a dream. I therefore had to insert a pink glow over to show the
relationship. I decided not to include this in the ancillaries because the performer
was speaking about losing someone in the lyrics, so I therefore made the album dark
to show that love has been lost by the performer.
5. REPRESENTATION
• In many of the videos I analysed, there would often be a dream about either a
relationship or going back to a certain place. This dream would include a relationship
and how it would be successful in the dream, however it would fail in reality. We
managed to construct this research and implement the story into our music video, with a
balance between performance and narrative shots. Examples of this include Jonas Blue
– perfect Strangers ft. JP Cooper, JP Cooper – September Song and Klingande – Losing
U ft. Daylight.
• • We managed to use this as a continuous theme throughout all three media products. In
the music video, the artist was shown as being alone after singing about losing someone,
whereas the two actors portrayed love and how it was lost/what never was. In the
magazine advert and digipak, we managed to portray this as the actor was looking away
from the camera, suggesting that someone could be missing in the shot.
6. HOW EFFECTIVE IS THE COMBINATION OF
YOUR MAIN PRODUCT (VIDEO) AND ANCILLARY
TEXTS (ADVERT)
• Overall, I believe that the ancillary texts I have created are extremely successful, as they
are able to represent all that we had planned from the start and I therefore believe they
both look like professional documents, as if a professional company has completed it for a
music artist. They are simplistic and easy to understand, therefore eye catching and
relate to what my audience have given for feedback. • I believe that my target audience
would be attracted to the ancillary texts as they are very similar to what the mainstream
artists of the genre have produced. They are able to focus on the artist and allows the
audience to give multiple connotations about the genre itself. They are therefore able to
reflect similar products, of what have already been successful. This is a benefit and I can
therefore suggest that my texts are professional looking
