This document provides an analysis of the media thriller production evaluating how it uses and develops conventions of the genre. It summarizes the ways locations, characters, props, lighting, sound, and color were used to both conform to and challenge stereotypes of the time period around the 1950s regarding women and their roles. The main female character, Eva Crawford, is depicted taking control of her life by gaining power over the man who previously oppressed her, represented through interactions with the setting and props. Character names, costumes, and other elements were chosen deliberately to fit with genre conventions while also subverting expectations in service of the plot.
Last year, Gartner predicted that CMOs would spend more on technology than CIOs by the year 2017.
A point that has since been validated by recent startup acquisitions, IPOs and funding in the marketing software industry.
On October 22, 2013 four leading marketing tech CEOs from around the Bay Area gathered to talk about their experiences selling to the CMO, debate the rise in marketing tech budget and explain how companies can set themselves up for success.

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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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. Question 1: In what ways does your media
product, use, develop or challenge forms and
conventions of real media product?
Locations
In our media production we have used the location of a more upper-class looking room but also tried to keep it
looking down to earth. The main point of our media production is about a woman throwing away the ideas of
women oppression and taking control. We used the fancy looking room to represent the generic convention
that females in the late 50’s being all about glamour and not being important and simply being objects to men.
The female character is first seen to be under the control of the man as she is only seen in 1 location as she
only starts to move around to reveal more of the area, the area which is seen represents the amount of control
the woman is getting over the situation as she chooses when the audience gets to see the res of the glamorous
room, this also conforms to the generic convention of a woman being interested in money and wealth as she
still wants to keep such glamour and riches but also gain control.
The room we used is seen to have a lot of windows with curtains blocking them out. The amount of windows
there shows how the room and also the characters are exposed to the outside and there is not much they can
go to prevent it other than hide them up with curtains. The curtains also represent how the 2 men in our
thriller are trying to prevent or block out the change of the role of women.
3. Locations
The amount of windows also represent the hope of the female character because when she hides behind the
curtain for refuge she reveals some light into the room which represents so this connotes that she feels her
only chance of survival is to hide which conforms with the stereotype of woman not being able to defend but
she soon after throws this idea out the window.
The room we used also has a lot of antiques inside which we wanted to represent how the man who owns
them is set in his ways of ideals such as woman being lesser than him as antiques never change and are old in
their ways. The only furniture the female character interacts is the more modern (for the time) looking sofas
and curtains, this represents that she is more representative of new ideals and bringing in a new idea that
women can also take control.
We tried to make our room look similar to the room used in Once Upon a Time in America
with it looking glamorous and upper class, we also had the key feature of the lamp in our
thriller so it would look more similar. We used this for a dramatic effect as the result in the 2
scenes are completely different, we tried to get a sense of irony as the female in Once Upon
a Aime in America died because she let the men take over her life as apposed to the female
in our thriller opening.
4. Characters
Eva Crawford (Main female character)
Name - We used the name Eva Crawford because the name Eva is similar to Eve which has a lot of obvious
connections to the bible and the story of the Garden of Eden. Eve is known to be seen as innocent and kind at
first and as a partner for Adam, our character is also supposed to represent these characteristics which
conforms to the conventions of women. Eve is also representative of deceit and having a slightly corrupt mind
when influenced. This represents Eva because she is deceitful as she betrays the man In her life, we wanted
the connotation of an outside influence (the Devil in the Garden of Eden story) so we can get the audience
thinking of if a woman could do this on her own or she again conforming to someone else's ideas and wants so
this could place a sense of mistrust and mystery around Eva. Eva’s name is also similar to that of Eve in Once
Upon a Time in America which she is supposed to be similar to but also have some key differences which is why
we didn’t straight up choose the name Eve. This also conforms to the idea of women being one in the same
and all serving the same purpose.
Costume – We had Eva dress herself in not the usual tea dress or long dress but in a more sophisticated pencil
skirt and shirt, this was to represent the change she would bring to the oppression of women as she was
bringing a change to the fashion she was wearing. We still wanted her to seem glamorous so we used high
heels and she was wearing pearls. The pearls don’t only represent glamour but they are also used to represent
tears which represents the pain of our character as she is being oppressed.
5. Props – We had Eva interact with a book while she wasn’t doing anything of significance to show that she is
trying to take action against the stereotype by learning more as well as straight up refusing to conform to the
conventions of females. When Eva interacted with the gun in our thriller she was shown having a lot of
confidence with it which we wanted to show that she may have previously done this or it reflecting her past life
in crime, we also used the confidence with the gun to show she knows she does not need a man to take care of
her and she is taking control of her own life with confidence.
Frank (1st Male Character Seen)
Name – We chose the name Frank as it is a generic name in thrillers for mob members and generally is the
name of a tough guy which is supposed to represent how our character fits into the stereotype of female
oppression and sexism.
Costume – We had our Frank character dressed up in a old style suit to fit with the feel of out thriller as well as
the time period. The suit we used was actually matching to reflect the fact that out character doesn’t actually
have it together so it makes the audience think about what happened to break this man who seemingly had it
all together. Suits were also the go to choice of wardrobe for mobsters at the time as they were wealthy
enough to afford them, the suit also connotes that the character is upper class and wealthy. We chose a brown
suit to not only differ this character from the everyday mobster but also brown is a colour that represents
quality.
6. Props – Frank used multiple props during the intro of our thriller such as a gun, a lighter and a gold watch.
The gold watch – We had frank take out a golden watch from his jacket when he was sitting down to represent
not only wealth but the fact he is an ordered individual who used to keep track of the time and keep
everything down to a tee but we can see that has changed as he does not even have the watch on anymore.
Gold is also the colour of success and triumph which connotes that this character used to be successful at what
he did which we wanted the audience to think about.
The brass Zippo – We used a Zippo as one of the items Frank took out his coat to connote more wealth and it
was common for mobsters to smoke which is what we wanted Frank to seem like. The Zippo was out of fuel in
the intro which we wanted to represent how Frank had given up and no longer had it in him to turn his spark
into fire metaphorically which was literal with the lighter. Lighters are also bring a sense of warmth and comfort
to others which we wanted to represent how Eva no longer felt warmed by Frank and there fore decided she
could go on with out him.
The Revolver – We used a revolver to show that he was prepared for what was to come and also that he was in
control at that point but when he loses it is when he gave up and excepted his fate. The gun is also the only
non gold coloured item he pulls out which represents how it has corrupted him and ruined his wealth and
brought him down to the common everyday man.
7. Donny (2nd Character Seen)
Name – We used Donny as our character name because it is a generic name of the muscle of gangsters, not
very high up in the ranks which is what we wanted this character to seem like, just like someone who is
following orders and not thinking for himself.
Costume – We used another suit on Donny for the same effect as Frank but a different colour to not only
distinguish the characters but also grey is a colour that is very vague, in-between black and white so the
audience don’t know much about the character and this is what we want them to think.
Props – Donny didn’t have any interaction with props to make him seem like a less important character than
the rest.
8. Lighting and Colouring
We used the convention of a light source behind the head of a character to represent
that they were running out of hope or that this was their last source of hope. We used
it here where the character is thinking so it represents that if he can think of a solution then he will have hope.
We used the chiaroscuro lighting on his face to represent that he had 2 sides to
him, and the lamp which represents hope was the thing provided the light so it
represents that it is his only light side left but he has already gone into the dark.
We used the convention of black and white to pay homage to the old ways of the
noir thriller. Black and white also adds impact to the lighting used called ‘spotlight
lighting’ we used this to show that the light was important to the representation
of the characters.
9. Sound
We used a generic dramatic sound track for our production that got more intense as it went along to coincide
with the story of the opening. We stopped the music as the second gunshot went off to show that the story
had come to a conclusion.
The gunshots we used were fast and quick sounds to represent how fast the situation has escalated.
The diegetic sound of the lighter hitting the table was to represent the first sign of real action we had, the
generic convention of an object hitting something else loudly is commonly used to represent the coming of
violence which is also what we used it for.
