1) The trailer establishes the setting of a sunny beach where a surfer is seen in the distance. Dark shapes seen in the water foreshadow danger.
2) A shot shows someone gripping a surfboard before quickly cutting to the main character biting an apple, suggesting something may bite her hand in the water.
3) The trailer uses quick cuts between shots accompanied by loud music to build tension as various scenes from the movie are shown out of context, leaving the plot mysterious.
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”.

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.
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.
2. COMPANY LOGOS
As the trailer starts we see the logo’s for Sony and
Colombia Pictures. This clearly states the companies
which produced and distributed by. This is a very
common convention of trailers where the companies
are announced first and possibly mentioned again at
the end of the trailer. For my trailer I would use fake
production companies to address the convention but
not infringing on anything copyrighted.
3. Each of these title cards are on screen for only one second and fade
in between shots. Their aim is to involve the viewer into the trailer
completely immersing them into the story. The direct address ‘your’
speaks to the consumer directly and brings them into the narrative
of the trailer. They also include the time the film will be coming
(summer) in order to advertise it to likely customers.
TITLE CARDS
4. ESTABLISHING SHOT
The establishing shot gives a setting to the film: a
bright and vibrant beach. The shot is taken from a very
high angle birds eye view most likely using a drone to
character can be seen in the background. There are
also dark shapes in the water giving the scene dark
undertones and suggesting something sinister in the
water. The lighting is high key here to show lot of
detail within the scene.
5. MATCH ON ACTION
This shot in the trailer occurs as the camera slowly moves towards somebodies hand
as they grip the surfboard it then quickly cuts to Blake Lively biting an apple. This
suggests something was going to bite the hand, something in the shallows. The
event foreshadows later events in the trailer as we see other surfers being eaten by a
great white shark. There is obvious emphasis on the crunch of the apple as she bites
it we see in the close up shot of her.
6. QUICK CUTS
At one point in the trailer there is a
quick succession of multiple different
shots fading in and out on the sound
of a beat. This is very common in
thriller or horror movies where the
camerawork disorientates the viewers
to excite them. Each time the shot
fades in a new one a beat plays in the
soundtrack to coincide with multiple
events being shown. For a trailer this
is effective because it shows multiple
scenes without context adding to the
mystery of the plot. The lighting
ranges from high to low key for
different scenes the man crawling is
low key to show his struggle of
getting along the beach.
7. SOUND
The sound used in the trailer is very bass heavy which adds to the tension
of the story the sound gets louder and more intense as something
important happens in the trailer. As soon as the shark is seen the music
gets faster coinciding with shots of different aspects of the film to keep
viewers attention. The sound bridge linking the scenes reflects the high
octane feeling of the movie. There isn’t much dialogue used but when
there is it works to set up a story. We learn the character is at the beach
because of her mother and that’s the only backstory we are given. Then,
after the shark is seen, the dialogue turns to desperate shouting as the
main character tries to save others. The music becomes more tense as we
see the shark and once Lively’s character is alone she talks to herself to
highlight her loneliness in the situation.
