Less has been said about the hand movements of the film makers, their cultural dimension and the place of this "corporate language" in the film making process, probably because this object is difficult to capture even with a diary. Gestures go too fast to be sketched on the spot and often faster than the perception of the ethnographer. Some of these gestures are made to stabilize the frame or simulate the camera movement but lots of them are difficult to classify and don't fall into this category, like the ones which are produced to accompany the actors' action or to invite him to perform a certain action and which have more to do with a mode of demonstration involving the entire body. This article, mostly based on videos of Bombay film makers at work, tries to identify the specificity of these gestures in terms of communication or interaction and their potential of coordination in the film set dynamics.

Youth film-making practices in educational settings are often positioned in discourses that support older teenagers’ career prospects and their training for industry. However, the work detailed in this list is located in formal and informal educational settings that foreground the social and cultural dimension of youth film and media production. As such, this article engages with the role of the moving image in everyday living, in creative arts education, and in the “reframing” of literacy to include visual and audio modes. In this view, film-making opportunities move beyond the formal domains of secondary and higher education film and media studies students, so that learners of all ages can become “writers” of the moving image as well as “readers.” This bibliography lays out the different sites and means through which primary and secondary children encounter film-making in the anglophone world and more internationally. In addition, it details the academic perspectives through which children’s engagements with film are studied and the increasing number of resources available to researchers and educators in the field. As distinct from the broader realm of production activities with digital media (e.g., game authoring or podcasting), research interest in children’s film-making is in the early stages of development in terms of academic literature and its differentiation. The making dimension might occupy part of a text on, for example, the uses of film in the classroom or on media education more broadly. Notably, discourses on youth film-making have increased in recent years with the development of new media technologies, social media platforms, and digital media authoring software. Functionality that used to be mediated through cumbersome professional apparatuses are now at the disposal of many amateurs via mobile digital devices. These ongoing advances coupled with a wide-ranging academic interest in multimodal expression open up new worlds of audiovisual storytelling for children and young people. Readers will notice the multidimensional nature of the categories that serve to demonstrate the versatility of film across social domains. Despite this and the significant uptake of creative media production by educators and practitioners in informal educational settings in the Western world, there is a discernible disinclination for many educational institutions to include film-making programs in formal education. Thus, there is a sense in which film-making for children remains a marginal activity, dependent on local enthusiasts and pockets of random good practice. Many of the authors are keen to see this change and to promote film as a relevant, dynamic, and cross-disciplinary constituent of modern literacy and the visual arts. Legitimizing film-making experience as a systematic literacy practice with a strong creative and critical dimension is seen as a way of enriching cultural expression in schools.

Workers involving in a manual task (e.g. lifting, pushing, pulling, etc.) are subject to a musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) risk. The risk is even worse should the workers are not working in a good body posture while facilities and working environment are not ergonomically designed. Thus, it becomes significant for the workers to have a normal body posture while performing tasks. In addition, they also should be equipped with facilities and working environments that are ergonomically designed. CV. XYZ is a garment industry which produces apparels and other clothes. CV. XYZ has several work stations, and one of them is a film-making (screen printing) station. There are 20 work elements in this station, where all of them are a manual task. This research aims to investigate and evaluate over working condition, facilities and working environment at film-making station which later will be quantified into MSDs risk level. For this purpose, this research will employ Rapid Entire Body Analysis (REBA) to measure MSDs risk of the worker in this station. From this evaluation, it will suggest a creation of ergonomic aid tools which aims to reduce the risk of MSDs level. Those aid tools are a desk, a chair and a lorry that are designed by considering body posture and anthropometry principles. A simulation analyisis will be performed by using a mannequin pro software so that the comparison of the MSDs risk level prior and after the improvement can be obtained. Research finding shows that after implementing the suggested solution, 15 out of 20 work elements show a reduction of REBA score, and lowering the risk of MSDs.

The specimens collected and reared to an adult stage on their respective hosts utilized to characterize the species of the genus Glyphodes based on morphological and genital characters of adults, revealed three species of the genus Glyphodes and were documented from Karnataka viz., Glyphodes caesalis Walker, Glyphodes pulverulentalis Hampson and Glyphodes vertumnalis Guenee on jack-fruit, mulberry and jasmine, respectively. These three species differ morphologically in having entire body green colour in G. vertumnalis, abdomen with oblique lateral stripes in G. pulverulentalis wherein, G. caesalis having sub-marginal black edged patch on costa with four spots. In genitalia, uncus greatly curved and beak shaped in G. vertumnalis, uncus slim and slightly curved in G. caesalis, whereas in G. pulverulentalis uncus long, narrow and slightly curved with short setae at apex.
