Sustainability

Sustainability means providing for the humans of this generation while making sure it's still there for future generations. Some ways we do this is with conservation, maintaining an environment, habit or wildlife to make sure it will be in our future instead of becoming instinct. Carbon footprint is an example of a way we look after our environment, we keep track of the carbon dioxide and methane created by an entity. 

Sustainability is important because if we are not sustainable we could lose an entire species. 

Group Performances

This term we are looking at group performances. I am in a group with my fellow class mate Alex, who will be on drums and I will be on guitar. We will be doing Seven Nation Army, because it has a good beat.

Seven Nation Army

The Song is about something he might have done years ago or maybe a rumour that won't go away and he wants to escape it.

Coraline: Plot

For this activity we had to create a timeline with key plot points and explain why they are important in the film.

Gymnastics Term 3

For the last three weeks we have been focusing on Gymnastics in PE.

To begin with I could do a side mount, and walking on a beam, forwards roll and backwards roll on floor. I could also do a seat drop 1/4 turn and controlled bounce on tramp, I can still jump up on to the bar. On the parallel bars I can jump up and swing, I can do a tuck jump on the small tramp.

I have improved with my bridge and can sometimes hold a proper one for a few seconds, I was able to lift one of my hands off the parallel bars and move it a few millimetres.

I would like to learn how to do a walkover.

Workshop 4: The Other Mother

Gradual change-slowly changing

Subtle-not obvious

a. 

Physical- real mum, short, curved hips

Costume- long sleeves, little skin showing, pants, warm, cosy, comfortable, mum clothes.

Lighting- artificial, warm, orange

Feel- safe, happy, relaxed

Director- Shows the Coraline feels at home

b. 

Physical- short, curved

Costume- long pants and sleeves, red/black, white

Lighting- warm, orange, artificial

Feel- safe, happy, relaxed

Director- Shows the other mother is changing

c. 

Physical- way more pointy elbows, neck head

Costume- greys, better fitting, more skin showing, tighter, beetle shell shape on the back

Lighting- darker, artificial

Feel- sketchy, untrustworthy, off

Director- Shows the audience that something is wrong withe the other mother

d. 

Physical- Pointy elbows, head, long neck, skin and bone, much taller

Costume- dark black and red, more bug like

Lighting- warm, orange, artificial

Feel- unsafe, scared, uncomfortable, intimidating

Director- Shows us that the other mother isn't perfect like Coraline thought.

e. 

Physical- no skin, metal skeleton, needle fingers, extra legs, looks like a giant metal spider.

Costume- dark, rags, ripped and dirty

Lighting- artificial, dark, green

Feel- grotesque, evil, terrified/horrified

Director- Grabs attention, shows the other mother is evil and wants to steal Coraline's soul.

The theme of looks can be deceiving is shown through the gradual change of the other mother from a honey sweet woman to a vinegar sour metal spider. At the start of the film the other mother appears short, curvy and wearing the same clothes as Coraline's real mother. This makes the audience feel safe, happy and relaxed towards the other mother. The dircetor did this to show us that Coraline feels at home with the other mother in the other world. However, the other mother changes slowly throughout the film until she finally becomes a skeletal, metal spider who wants to trap Coraline in her other world. When we frist meet the other mother she is in a warm oragen light that makes her feel safe, but by the end she is surrounded by a dark and green light which makes her seem evil, grotesque and horrifying. Selick shows these changes to help the audience to be and this shoes the theme looks can be desiving.

My First Solo Performance

For my solo performance I am playing the guitar. I chose to play guitar because I don't have any prior experience with the instrument. The key board, piano and ukulele didn't interest me.

The song I am doing is Numb by Linkin Park; I'd never heard the song before and most of the other songs didn't interest me either.

I think I started my performance well, and then I lost all confidence in myself about halfway through. I tripped up all the remaining cords as my palms become a pond of sweat.

If I had to do it over again I would try and calm my self down a bit more before sitting down to play. I could maybe even make myself laugh before playing, so as to get rid of the nerviness filling the atmosphere around me.

My Performance

Money

Money is a common everyday thing, but it also plays an important part of our lives. Money is connected to everything in our lives, we work for it, we spend it and we store it.

Coraline: Character Challenges

For this activity we had to use coogle to make a character web with four main characters, and write about some of the challenges they went through during the movie and their relationships with other characters in the film.

Workshop 3: Colour

Colour Palette - The colour used in the scene

Prominent - most obvious

Theme - looks can be deceiving, courage and bravery.

a. Real World Study

Cold natural light

grey, white, dull, blue

Cold, large, lonely, boring, cluttered, old, cramped, dark

Show us Coraline is unhappy there Shows us the real father is too busy to spend time with Coraline.

b.Other World Study

Yellow, vibrant, red, orange,

Orange, artificial, warm light

Happy, safe, warm, clean, perfect,

Coraline is happy there.

Show us the other father wants to spend time with Coraline.

 Colour is effective in helping to create the two worlds and show the theme 'looks can be deceiving'. The real world study uses a colour palette predominantly of greys, whites and blues. This creates a cold, lonely and boring atmosphere. The directer did this to show that Coraline is unhappy in the real world and that her real father is too busy to spend time with her. The use of a cold natural light re-enforces this mood. Juxtaposed to this is the use of colour in the other world study. Vibrant reds, oranges and yellow make the room feel warm, safe and cosy. Selick used this palette to show that Coraline is happier in the other world where the other father has time for her. This shows that looks can be deceiving because Coraline mistakes the bright perfect world for a safe place when really it is a trap.

Workshop 2: Lighting

Atmosphere/Mood: They way you feel in a situation
Juxtaposed - the complete opposite

Real World Kitchen;
Outside- rainy, windy, misty, cold, miserable.
Natural light.
Cold, white light.
Small, cold, boring, sad, lonely.
Shows that Coraline doesn't like it here and is unhappy.
Wants to leave doesn't feel like home.

Other Kitchen;
Warm, orange light.
Artificial light, from bulbs.
warm, happy, cosy, welcoming, safe.
Feels like home, better home.
Feels like a family.
Coraline is happy here.
The other world is the prefect web/trap for Coraline

Cold light:
white/blue
makes you feel cold/clinical

Warm light:
Orange, yellow,
makes it feel warm / safe

In the kitchen scenes lighting is used effectively to enhance the story and shows the theme 'looks can be deceiving'. In the real world kitchen a natural cold light comes through the rainy window which creates an atmosphere of boredom, sadness and loneliness. The director did this to show us that Coraline doesn't like it here and is unhappy. Juxtaposed to this is the kitchen in the other world. It is lit by a warm, organ, artificial light that makes the space feel warm, welcoming and safe. Selick used this to show that Coraline is happy and feels at home in the other world. This help show the theme looks can be deceiving because Coraline feels safe but by the end of the film we will discover that the other world is a perfect trap designed to catch Coraline.

Coraline: Themes

For this activity my friend and I chose to discussed two of the themes in the movie, we recorded it in this blog post.

Neglect

Coralines parents neglect her and don't pay attention to her often leaving her alone for their own lives and work. As an only child Coraline didn't have any siblings to keep her company, so she annoys her parents most of the time, when they have  important things to do like work. They often see Coraline as a roadblock as she often gets in their way. Growing up Coraline would have had to try to entertain herself, this shows in her love of exploring. 

Versions of Reality

The differences between the other world and reality look very alike but different in some ways. For example, reality is boring and without much light. But the other world is bright and exiting. This show Coraline's perspective of the respective worlds, reality is dull because Coraline finds it dull, and the other world is bright and colourful because it's new and exiting. But by the end reality is brighter and cleaner because it is less boring, and the other world looks creeper as the truth is revealed.

Coraline Character Characteristics

For this activity we had to find two-three characteristics for Coraline and another character from the movie and write about a time in the movie that they showed this. I chose to do Other Wybie. 

What am I learning?
I am learning to understand how characters are developed in film.
How does this show my learning?
This shows that I understand character traits and characteristics.
What am I wondering?
Why are some people more empathetic than others?

Māori Trading

In social studies we are looking at Pre-European New Zealand. This week we looked at Pre-European businesses. If you were generous in your trades you where seen as having lots of mana and people where more likely to trade with you. If you where greedy you where seen as having very little mana and people where less likely to trade with you. I made a mindmup to show my learning.

Workshop 1: Music

Music in Film

Non Diagetic- Not natural sound e.g. music.
Diagectic- Natural sounds e.g. door slamming/footsteps.

Song 1
Enagectic, exiting, ocean breeze

Song 2
Hunting, creepy, mysterious, sends chills down your spine,

Morose - Very, very sad
Sombre - Neutral sad

Tempo- the speed 'how fast'
fast - creates upeat/energy
slow - melancholy, sadder, less energy

Cords
Major - happy, uplifting
Minor - sad, sinister

Dynamics - Volume 'how loud'
Quite - Draws your attention and makes you focus
Louder - Energy/attention
Starts quite/gets louder - Builds intensity

1  Miss Spink & Miss Forcible
Loud, fast upbeat, minor cords,

2  Coralines Dispair
Slow, minor cords starts, quite and get louder and faster, sombre,

3   The Beginning
Really slow slightly faster gets faster, minor cords, starts really quite then gets a bit louder, morose

4   Garden Scene
Gets faster and louder as it goes, minor cord, builds intensity

The beginning
Doll, lullaby, made up words suggest what? Little kids

In the opening scene music is used effectively to create a hunting atmosphere. For example, tempo, cords and dynamic's make it feel like a creepy lullaby. The tempo starts slow but gets faster building intensity. It is in the minor key which makes it feel sad. This makes the audience think the film will be mysterious, scary and creepy.

My First Solo Performance

For my solo performance I am playing the guitar. I chose to play guitar because I don't have any prior experience with the instrument. The key board and piano didn't interest me either though most of the class is doing it.
The song I am doing is Numb by Linkin Park.
Link to music video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXYiU_JCYtU
what the song is about
I'm not very nevus to perform because I have a little bit of experience performing having done the Shakespeare Festival for three years in a row with the school.
The hardest part of the song to learn is the intro because you have to go through all the cords.

Self-Directed Learner

Today we are looking at being self-directed learners.

I will make a simple checklist of everything I need to do.

I will start setting goals for the week to make sure I get my work done.

When I am away sick check over what the class has been doing online at home.

Safety Signs

In CMM we are learning about what are hazards and what some of the signs you may see in a workplace or workshop. 

A hazard is something that can cause serious harm or death. 

                             

The three main types of signs are the yellow triangle with is a hazard sign, blue circle with a white background which is a mandatory sign and the red circle with a white background and a line through it, showing use that it is a prohibition sign. 

The hazard sign tells us that there is a hazard that can't be eliminated and to watch out for it. 

The mandatory sign tells us that we have to do something or what we have to do to help minimise or isolate a hazard. 

The prohibition tells us that we aren't aloud to do something because it is or may become a hazard.

My Safety Sign

Next we had to design our own sign to put around the workshop. For this activity I choose to do a sign about not going into the workshop without a teacher present. Here was the first sign I did.

This is my second go at making the sign.

PPE

Personal Protective Equipment

Ear Protection

Ear protection is used to look after your hearing. 

Eye Protection

Safety glasses are used to protect your eyes. While you are drilling there is a hazard of depbreeze flying from the drill and can fling itself into your eye. There are also small particles flying around in the air.

Overalls

Overalls are used to protect your clothing from oil, chemicals and heat. 

Workshop fail video.

The Guitar

The difference between an acoustic guitar and a electric guitar is that the electric guitar needs power to work but the acoustic does not.
Charlie Christian, B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix.
A guitars can be used in a band or cultural group, sometimes orchestra.

The Keyboard

The difference between a keyboard and the piano is that a piano is a acoustic instrument and the keyboard is electric and the piano's keys are heaver than the keyboard. The black keys play the flats and the sharps. On the keyboard your left hand plays the cords and your right plays the melody.

I really enjoyed learning the keyboard skills because I feel like I got much better at moving my fingers form key to key.
I found it hard to move my fingers to the right keys and remembering which key I had my fingers on. 

Who is Stevie Wonder

Stevie Wonder was born in 1950.

He was born six weeks early, with other complications causing him to become blind.

His full name is Stevland Hardaway Morris.

He is one of the most successful musicians of the 20th century.

He is a well known singer, song writer, pianist and record producer.

Betrayal

For this activity we had to pick an emotion and write about it, I chose to do betrayal. After writing down things that we thought of to do with that emotion, we used what we learnt with figurative language to write a few sentences. Here is mine.

Music and Lyrics

For this activity we had to choose a song and highlight the repeating lyrics, then underline the emotion.

Do you ever feel like breaking down?

Do you ever feel out of place?

Like somehow you just don't belong

And no one understands you

Do you ever want to run away?

Do you lock yourself in your room?

With the radio on turned up so loud

That no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what its like

When nothing feels alright

You don't know what its like to be like me

To be hurt, to feel lost

To be left out in the dark

To be kicked when you're down

To feel like you've been pushed around

To be on the edge of breaking down

And no one there to save you

No you don't know what its like

Welcome to my life

Do you want to be somebody else?

Are you sick of feeling so left out?

Are you desperate to find something more

Before your life is over

Are you stuck inside a world you hate?

Are you sick of everyone around?

With the big fake smiles and stupid lies

But deep inside you're bleeding

No you don't know what its like

When nothing feels alright

You don't know what its like to be like me

To be hurt

To feel lost

To be left out in the dark

To be kicked when you're down

To feel like you've been pushed around

To be on the edge of breaking down

And no one there to save you

No you don't know what its like

Welcome to my life

No one ever lied straight to your face

And no one ever stabbed you in the back

You might think I'm happy

But I'm not gonna be okay

Everybody always gave you what you wanted

You never had to work it was always there

You don't know what its like

What its like

To be hurt

To feel lost

To be left out in the dark

To be kicked when you're down

To feel like you've been pushed around

To be on the edge of breaking down

And no one there to save you

No you don't know what its like

What its like

To be hurt

To feel lost

To be left out in the dark

To be kicked when you're down

To feel like you've been pushed around

To be on the edge of breaking down

And no one's there to save you

No you don't know what its like

Welcome to my life

Welcome to my life

Welcome to my life

Show... Don't Tell

Verse 1

Shattered like glass, laying (on the ground x3).

No-one can fix this (broken heart x2).

On-one but you.

I hope that one day I will see you again.

Not too soon I will see you up-above

It's hard without you.



Verse 2

Your gone and you took a piece my my heart with you.

It's gone, gone with you.

I hope that one day I will see you again.

Not too soon I will see you up-above

It's hard without you.



Verse 3

In the middle is the hole where you took a piece of my heart.

It's taking everything with you.

My happiness, my light, my memories.

Everything is escaping me going out looking for you.



No-one can fix this broken heart.

On-one but you.



Can you guess which emotion I choose. You will never get it!
