Music

Diegetic Sound - sounds added to a scene  eg music

Non - dietetic Sound - sounds that happen naturally in a scene eg footsteps, wind blowing leaves

Chords - Major - written in a major key, has a happy uplifting tone
               Minor - written in a minor key, has a sad, gloomy, morose tone

Tempo - fast - could walk quickly to, makes music feel energetic, gives movement
Speed        moderate - mix of two
              slow - dragging feet pace, makes music feel lethargic, boring, energy lacking, sleepy

Dynamic - Loud(forte) - gets viewer attention, enhances emotions/mood - makes happy happier etc
volume          Quiet(piano) - either background noise or used to make viewer focus
                  Changing - quiet-loud - builds intensity

Workshop 1

Theme & Idea - Continuous idea/subject that links throughout the text.

Looks can deceiving - don't judge a book by its cover

                                    don't judge by appearance

Example 1 - character of Wybie - When we first meet him he seems scary ( mask,motor bike,

High angle used to look,bigger,loud music) but in reality hes just a weird neighbour.

Shows theme because like other characters, our first impressions are based on appearance,tone,visual techniques aren't always correct.

Important because it helps audience understand with Coraline that just because things look good doesn't mean it is she should choose the real world over the other world.

Example 2 - Character the Other mother' - she seems normal/friendly at the start but by the end she becomes a soul devouring spider demon                               .

Shows theme because other mother isn't watching what she appears to be at the start so we shouldn't judge by first impressions. 

Important because Coraline realises that having something that looks perfect isn't always a good thing.

Statement In coraline, the theme 'looks can be deceiving' it's used effectively to engage the audience

Evidence For instance, the character of the 'Other mother' shows us that looks can be deceiving because she starts off as a kind mother figure but gradually changes into a soul devouring demon 

eXplanation - audience - This makes us understand that we shouldn't judge a character based on first impression as they can often be wrong.

eXplanation - Director - This is done to help Coraline decide between the real world and the other world. If the Other mother was really perfect Coraline wouldn't choose to go home.

eXplanation - another technique(shots/angles,music,setting,lighting/colour) - The other mother 'first appears in a vibrantly bright room that makes us feel warm and safe. however, by the end it has became dark and green  which makes the viewer feel scared and shows that her first look deceiving.

Your link - This can be juxtaposed to the character of Wybie who he thinks at first is evil but is actually kind, proving looks can be deceiving

Cup stacking

Today in P.E class i was learning how to cup stack a three by six so what i did to learn how to stack and unstack more efficiently was i watched a video where it shows a tutorial on how to properly cup stack  a three by six so from what i learnt is that when your unstacking in order to stack it back up faster you can hold two cups in one hand instead of just holding one in each hand so for me that was a big help because i actually found it to be quite efficient because i got it back up a lot faster than i did before but i had to try and get used to holding two cups

Camera shots

In my Hurumanu 2 class we have been studying a verity of different types of camera shots we had to study over 10 different camera shots some of the camera shots we studied was the high angle shot where the camera is positioned opposite from the sky so it would be looking straight into the face of the subject we also done the low angle shot,close up,extreme close up, medium close up, and etc. So what we had to do was we had to had to study the camera shots but we also had to go outside          and take photos for each of the angles and match them to the right camera angles.

What am i learning - I am learning different types of camera angles.
How does this work show my learning - by me being able to describe what the definition of the angles.
What am i wondering as a result of this learning

Identifying Camera Shots:

NZ Government compare and contrast paragraph

In the power to people Hurumanu, we learnt about the Maori authority system and the British settler Government system.This compare and contrast paragraph is about those two systems. People were responsible for their whanau. Tapu was important for protecting people, objects and land. Whereas law was organised to control society and to stop people from breaking the rules of society. They were set punishments for breaking the law. This matters because it is important to know how NZ was before the treaty and how different the Maoris were from the Europeans.

Investigating light.

What is the fastest way to travel through the universe.

What is light speed.

Define optical science.

What is fibre optics.

Name three objects that help us see very small objects or objects far away.

1: Search Result launched  by NASA in 2006, it shot directly to a solar system escape velocity. This consisted of an Earth-relative launch of 16.26 kilometres a second (that's about 36,000 miles per hour), plus a velocity component from Earth's orbital motion (which is 30 km/s tangential to the orbital path)

2: 299 792 458 m / s

3: Optics is the branch of physics that studies the behaviour and properties of light, including its interactions with matter and the construction of instruments that use or detect it. Optics usually describes the behaviour of visible, ultraviolet, and infrared light.

4: An optical fibre is a flexible, transparent fibre made by drawing glass or plastic to a diameter slightly thicker than that of a human hair.

5: Telescope,microscope,magnify glass.
