The group plans to make a supernatural horror film called "Wicca" about two teenage girls who are abducted by a cult and used in a ritual to summon an evil spirit. One girl disappears after the ritual, while the other begins having visions and tries to uncover what happened. The film will include stock horror character archetypes and use common horror film techniques like low-key lighting, isolated settings, and graphic or shocking imagery. It will take influences from films like Devil's Due, Oculus, and Insidious but stand out by basing the plot around an occult cult, a less common theme in horror movies.

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.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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 Pitch
1. Horror Movie Pitch
Group Members: Tsykeira, Tami, Patrick
Chosen Genre: Supernatural Horror
Title of Film: ‘Wicca’ (pagan, witchcraft religion), ‘The Occult’, ‘The Hidden’
(hidden derives from the translation of the Latin word ‘occultus’)
Outline of Ideas:
Basic Plot:
Teenage protagonist, Laura(??) and her friend, Jane(??) wander through a
graveyard in pursuit of cheap thrills only to find themselves being abducted by a
cult, neither of them knowing they are to be used in an attempt to summon an
evil and reckoning spirit. Waking up to her bed the next morning and with no
recollections of the night before, she just shrugs it off as a bad dream. But upon
the sudden disappearance of Jane, the fresh cuts on her body and the haunting
visions of a mysterious girl, Laura tries to find answers unknowing to the horrors
coming her way
Tagline of film:
There is no escape
She’ll tear you apart
What type of characterization will you have?
We will have stock type of characters such as;
Bimbo – dumb, pretty girl
(Byronic or Tragic) Hero (?) (Oliver means true or warrior) [tries to
protect Victim, could like her]
Female Victim
Non-Believer
Occult detective (Hugo / Hugh means intelligent) [suggests he’s very
smart, knows a lot about the spiritual world, cults etc]
Hysterical Character (Nara means fire) [she could be a fierce and
aggressive character who challenges Female Victim]
Describe Mise En Scene to be used or any visual motifs?
2. We will be using Mise En Scene that is very typical of a horror movie such as
Blood and other graphic images,
Gothic imagery such as old statues, Victorian houses (but we may limit it
as we would like the movie trailer to be in a modern setting
Low-Key lighting
Knives
Isolated places such as graveyards, derelict buildings/rooms
As the story of the movie revolves around the ideas of satanic cults and the
occult, there may be some unique or rarely seen Mise-En-Scene and visual motifs
such as
Pentagrams
Rituals
What are your ideas about Cinematography/photography?
Collectively as a group, we have been exposed to many horror movies (and
trailers), and we have identified a couple of shots and cinematography
techniques that we may implement into our trailer
We can include close-ups of very grotesque and shocking images, to creep the
audience out and also create tension in the form of fear of what might come up
next.
During the shootings of the scenes, we might change the colour, or manipulate
the exposure and aperture settings to make the footages and flashes photos that
we may include into the trailer to create an atmosphere that is unique to the
trailer (film).
We will also use a combination of whip pans and the manipulation of depth of
field which is seen in many trailers to deliver jumpscares.
Conventions of trailers/posters/film mags you plan to reinforce or
reinvent?
Trailer; We plan on conforming to majority of horror movie trailer conventions
such as the constant screaming, silences, discordant sounds and flashbacks. This
will be achieved through a variety of mise-en-scene, editing skills and actors
performance. By conforming to the stereotypical horror trailers, it makes the
genre of the trailer easier to identify with the audience as the right individuals
will be targeted. In addition, it prevents confusion. Horror films are typically
watched by thrill-seekers, horror trailers aim to attract that target audience by
creating trailers that get the heart racing through tension and jumpscares within
the trailer. Successful horror movies also have compelling stories in which in
their trailers, provide insights of the story to the audience but keeps some
3. ambiguity to it, keeping the story vague and mysterious which can make
audiences want to watch the film to find out the story. Our plot is enough to be
an interesting storyline however we shall try to keep the story as ambiguous yet
alluring in our trailer.
Poster; When researching horror posters, we discovered majority of them use
the colour black. This is a very symbolic colour as the colour has very sinister
connotations to it. Also some film posters have very creepy imagery or symbols,
which relate to the plot and its characters. We shall try to conform to these given
ideas in order for it to identify as a horror movie but we may also combine ideas
from posters from mystery genre films
What resources will you need? (Include actors, props, costumes and
settings)
7-8 actors
Sharp objects; knives, saws etc.
Hoods and cloaks for the cult seen in the graveyard
Abney Cemetery (or Highgate Cemetary / West Brompton Cemetery)
Greenwich Foot Tunnels
Hunterian Museum
Payne’s Wharf
Justification of ideas in relation to genre and recognizable film influences,
also what is your Unique Selling Point:
Our group watched a number of horror movies, in order to get an idea of the
direction in which we wanted our film to go. Three films that influenced our
storyline the most were: Devils Due, Oculus, and Insidious. We chose to look at
these 3 films as a baseline for our own film, because these films were very
successful. We got some ideas from Devils Due about Occult and Satanic worship
to integrate into our story, mise-en-scene and symbolism. Our trailer will also be
influenced by Oculus with the idea of malefic visions that our protagonist
experiences. And lastly our trailer is influenced by Insidious in the style of their
trailer. Horror film trailers usually start slow, where the exposition of the film is
slowly showed (without giving too much) and build up to a climatic end,
however Insidious makes the pace of their trailers fluctuate going slow and fast
consistently making their audience tense, and also creates an unsettling
atmosphere all throughout the trailer. We might include twisted versions of
nursery rhymes to create a creepy and unsettling atmosphere. This idea is taken
from games such as Silent Hill and Dead Space and several film trailers such as
some versions of Insidious. Our unique selling point is that our horror film’s plot
is based around ideas of an occult as there are not many horror movies whereby
a cult is used.
