Our music video will focus on performance and conceptual elements, including stop motion animation. It will feature close-ups of the female performer wearing an oversized mismatched suit to convey her awkwardness. Shots will experiment with composition, lighting, and camera movements. The video may initially conceal the performer's gender before revealing she is lip-syncing to a man's voice, highlighting the disconnection between her performance and the audience's perception. Conceptual elements will develop the performer's character and backstory through shots of objects representing her isolated childhood. Stop motion animation will further the conceptual side by depicting objects moving independently.
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.

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.
Model Attribute Check Company Auto PropertyCeline George
In Odoo, the multi-company feature allows you to manage multiple companies within a single Odoo database instance. Each company can have its own configurations while still sharing common resources such as products, customers, and suppliers.
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”.

2. Our music video will be
Performance and Conceptual
based, possibly with stop motion
animation.
Our video shall contain plenty of
close shots of our performer. We
will be experimenting with
composition and light, to create
engaging visuals.
We will also be testing various
tracking/ moving shots,
handheld/still (photographic)
shots.
Our performer will be female. She
will be wearing an over-sized
mismatching suit. What we will be
aiming to convey is the
performer’s awkwardness and
how they are ill-at-ease with
themselves, and who they are,
and hopefully the suit will
emphasise this.
We want the performer to move
and act in a certain manner –
gawky, awkward

3. PERFORMANCE
We are discussing of having a structure to our video – since we don’t
have a narrative there is a chance that everything will end up random
and nonsensical, so we thought of perhaps being ambiguous with our
performers gender at the beginning our the video – concealing her
face, so the audience would think it is a guy singing (or at least make
them question whether the performer is male or female).
Two possible ways in which can reveal the gender of the singer:
- The mask could get damaged during the song, little by little
- Or she could simply take it off during the last instrumental section
Her taking off the mask and revealing that she is a girl will break the
illusion of the “live performance” and will make the audience realise that
the performance isn’t authentic – the singer lip-synching to a man’s
voice. As she continues to lip-synch, to the viewers it will be as if she is
singing and not singing at the same time.
4. CONCEPTUAL
For the conceptual side of the video, we are thinking of creating a character around the
performer – our theme being isolation, we were inspired by the title sequence of the film “Le
Fabuleux Destin d’ Amelie Poulain”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATJtD54Ko10
There will be shots (mostly close-ups) of objects such as Russian dolls, dice, puppets etc… and
shots of the performer playing with these objects, or painting faces on her fingers etc…
These various shots will tell the audience of the performer’s childhood – how as a child she
didn’t socialise with other children and instead created a world of her own in which to pass her
time.
Jan von Holleben is a photographer who did this project called “She Dreams..” which involved
photographing a woman acting out her dreams. We really like his work and may recreate some
of his photographs, but as videos.
5. Stop Motion
The stop motion animation will be part of the conceptual side and will depict
the objects moving by themselves.

6. Target Audience
This is Laura. She is 18, and a vegetarian. she enjoys
a variety of things such as reading books by authors
like Sylvia Plath and Virginia Woolf. She is in her first
year of University studying English literature and
enjoys her own company. Studying so far away from
home, she relates to the band as the lyrics deal with
isolation and loneliness.
She spends her free time using blogging platforms
such as Livejournal and Tumblr in which she
expresses her thoughts and feelings to readers who
she feels can relate to her.
She enjoys going to charity shops and places with
free Wi-Fi.
She rarely watches television but when she does she
uses BBCiplayer to watch television shows such as
The Thick Of It, and other satirical programs.
Laura is a Misanthrope.
7. Props and equipment we shall be using:
Lighting: 2 Redheads, 1 Lilliput
Camera: Estelle’s and the college’s cameras
Tripod and dolly
Costume: suit, mask, glasses
Our chosen location for the performance is the drama studio. The area will be
blacked out and the studio lighting will be used to light the performer in diverse
ways.
There is no set location for the stop motion – each of us will try out stop motion
in our homes, and in the drama studio.
