Our group made a short horror film to warn teenagers about the dangers of trusting strangers online. We split roles and researched the genre to create a plot where two girls meet and befriend a new boy without knowing him. This was meant to represent trusting strangers on social media. Scenes followed chronologically and we used varied shots, but could have shown more establishing shots. All members tried their roles and camerawork, though cooperation could improve. The film related the theme and presented strangers as dangerous in a horror style through suspense and implied violence.
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.

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. Aims of the product:
The product is a short film of the horror genre to warn teenagers of the
dangers of talking or meeting strangers on social media. The product is for
teenagers nowadays who are so engulfed in social media that they do not
worry or know about the demerits and the far stretching problems that can
come with it. The short film my group made was about two teenagers who
meet a new boy and easily become friends with him with out properly
knowing him. The story supports the fact that how easily we trust people.
The film was a metaphor of social media where we meet a lot of strangers
and trust them too easily give them our personal information.
3. Planning:
Organisation:
We were split into teams, our group consisted of myself Tasnuva, Reisha, Caitlin, Josh and Kai.
We researched about the horror genre and discussed about how we can bring it in our movie to
meet the requirements of the brief. So we chose the school as the set for our film as the audience (
teenagers) can then relate to it. We decided on our plot which will be how two teenage girls meet a
new boy and very easily put their trust in him without properly knowing him. So the girls and their
schools work as a metaphor for social media where we meet new people everyday. So we decided
to show the dangers of trusting a stranger using the horror genre. For this reason, we tried to make
it more suspenseful and thrilling. To reflect the narrative conventions of the horror genre we
decided to include a murder which will metaphorize the danger of believing strangers more clearly.
Our group was split into different roles. I had the role of acting one of the girls. It was decided that
all of us will also help with the camerawork.
4. Planning
All the members in our group had different roles to play to successfully make a great film. My Role
was to act as one of the girls. I have never acted in my life. Yet I tried to give my best performance
as Alice. To be honest, It wasn’t that hard to play the of a character who is a normal school girl just
like me.
I also helped with the camerawork. I did a point of view shot. The shot was used to show the
situation from the actors’ point of view. I moved the camera at a 180’ , so that it looks like we were
searching for the thing that made the noise. At some point, I shaked my hand and with thaat josh
made a noise to show how the girls got starlet suddenly . The sound and the my hand shakes the
camera at the same time, which contrasted with each other and created a suspenseful situation.
I also helped decide my teammates on shot we were using the shooting of the film.
Overall I tried my best to be as helpful as possible and tried to contribute in making a good film.
5. Planning
During the shooting of the film, the members of my group constantly switched roles between camera
person, acting and directing. We also discussed about the shots we have to use for each scene.
After the movie was finished, we started with the editing.
All the members of our team helped with the editing work. All the members of the group also gave
feedback to each other . It made our editing even more better. Also it shows each scene had some kind
of contribution from every member in editing.
6. Even better if:
In my opinion, our film would have been even better if we could a bigger variety of camera shots.
But because of the movie being a horror movie we used shots that goes with the genre for
example point of view shot which was used in the film to show the situation from the girl’s point of
view. It was used to create the suspense. However it could’ve been better if we could use some
establishing shots to set the plot for example shots of the school from outside.
It could've been better all the members could cooperate with each other rather than giving their
opinion the most priority. It was a major hole in our teamwork. Also there were problems with
deciding what camera shot to use or what should we do to fit all the things we wanted to show in
a short film. It shows our lack of preparation, also shows the issues with our teamwork.
We showed the murder of the girls in a passive way. We did not show any kind of blood or ghoury
scenes related to the murder. It would have better if we could show it in a rather direct yet non-
violent way.
Also we rushed a lot of things because of our first plot being cancelled. So it would have better if
7. What we did well:
I think the things we did well was:
1. We followed the plot of our film. The scenes follow a chronological order. ( The scenes follow the
plot, follows a linear plotline meaning the film doesn’t have any flashbacks or it doesn’t go back
and forth in time. This makes it easier for the audience to understand. )
2. We used lots of different types of camera shots. ( We used the camera shots according to the
needs of scenes. So we decided on shots that would be perfect for the scene and make it better
Also we used alarge variety of shots.)
3. All the members of our group tried to play their role properly. ( Every one of us tried to do our jobs
to our full potential. Even if it was Reisha and mine’s first acting atampt, we tried to keep it as
natural and realistic as possible. Caitlin and josh also tried to keep the movie on plot and tried to
finish it as soon as possible as the director and the assistant director. Kai helped a lot with the
camerawork who joined our team halfway through. )
4. The film relates to the theme from the brief. ( The film gives a clear massage to the audience about
strangers being dangers. So our film meets the demands of the brief.)
5. I think we were properly able to present the idea of strangers being dangerous.
6. I think our film goes with the horror genre.( The presentation of the murder scene and the suspense
created by the cameraworks and sound effects covered a lot of conventions of horror movie)
