Hearts/Science

• What have we been learning about?

For a few days, we've been learning about parts of a heart and we wanna know how hearts work. 

• Why are we dissecting hearts?

So we can see the parts of a heart and so we could explore and explain the hearts better, and that we could make sure what are we learning about.

• What are the parts of the heart? Did you see them? The right ventricle, left ventricle, right atrium, left atrium, aorta, vena cava, aortic valve, and pulmonary. I´ve seen most of them and its pretty cool because I´ve never seen a heart in real life. We cut it split open to see the parts of a heart and it looks weird because it was our first time.

• Did you enjoy the dissection? why/why not?

I enjoyed dissecting a heart because it was my first time. 

This is the heart we dissected. So first we cut the side and the other side and we open it up. I saw the heartstring, valves, ventricle septum, and artery.

Film Study/Term 2

• High angle- makes the character óther wybie´ look small, weak, and vulnerable. 
• POV- Other mother- dominant&powerful
• Medium shot- Gives us some idea of background but not full.

• The audience feels - powerful, we are looking down on wybie through other mother POV.
• Worried for wybie-he looks small, sad, innocent
• First character in other world to suggest something is not right. 

• Directors' purpose- make us feel sorry for wybie. 

         It makes the audience think that maybe the other mother isn't so nice-foreshadowing.

In the shot with the other wybie and the other mother, high angle shots are used effectively to show the theme ´looks can be the deceiving.´ This demonstrated to a high angle shot from the point of view of the other mother. She is looking down the front porch at a scared other wybie. This makes the audience feels sorry for wybie and makes the other mother seem powerful. The purpose of this scene was to make the audience think that maybe the other mother isn't so nice after all. Combined with the use of lighting, Wybie is in a warm light but surrounded by darkness the director has a creative atmosphere of caution-something that is not right. This reminds the viewer of a later scene where Coraline is looking up at the other mother in horror as she throws her through a magical portal into a locked room. this shows that kooks can be deceiving because the other mother wasn't nice like Coraline's first thought.

Linking themes to impact angles, movement, and shots.

Brainstorm:

• High angle-It makes the character smaller. 
• Angle shots/used-making the scene interesting by showing some of the backgrounds behind the character and it gives us an idea of what´s happening in that scene.
• 
  

Coraline/Hur2

Theme/Idea-Something that links throughout the story.

Looks can be deceiving'

Things aren't always what they seem.

Example 1: The beldam/ The other mother 

- she starts off as good/kind but is revealed to be an evil soul-devouring metal spider demon. 

-Shows theme because the other mother changes gradually over time caroline&audience don't notice. 

-Important to the story because it helps the audience understand Caroline's choice when she realizes that having everything perfect won't make her happy. 

Example 2: Otherworld vs Real-world 

The other world Is a perfect web/trap to catch caroline, whereas the more world is boring but safe.

Shows theme because even though the other world seems better and every way, the real world is actually better/safer because it isn't a trap.

-Important to help the audience understand why Coraline goes back to the real world. 

Statement-In caroline, themes, and ideas are used effectively. 

Evidence-For instance, the theme 'looks can be deceiving' is shown through the character of the 'other mother. The other mother starts kind but is revealed o be a soul-devouring demon.

Audience- This makes the audience feel that we shouldn't trust people that seem perfect at first glance.

Director-This was done to make the audience feel weary or develop a sense of caution towards a new situation. 

Coinciding-what this is the use of colour to show the other mother' os becoming more evil. At the start, she is surrounded by arm colours that make us feel safe, but by the end, it is dark with neon green which her seem dangerous.

-Your link&Ths theme is also shown through the changes in the other world as it is revealed to be a spider web designed to catch Coraline. 

 

P.E/Gym

In P.E we have been doing stacking, juggling, tennis table, and multi-sports. So first we did the juggling and tennis table, on juggling we used a scarf so at first, we grabbed 2 scarfs so It could be easy to juggle. By using one hand u have to juggle those two scarfs, so like throw 1 scarf then throw the other one and catch the scarf you throw first, once you've finished juggling those two scarfs you have to add one more scarf, so it's like a challenge for us, this time you have to use two arms for the 3 scarfs, so on that you must throw the 2 scarfs first then throw the other 1 and catch the scarfs that you just throw and just keep doing it.

When we finished doing juggling with the scarfs the next thing we did is a tennis table, we didn't do that much on the tennis table we were just playing and practicing how to hit the ball. The next thing that we did for P.E is stacking its really fun and we did a little bit of competition. First we grabbed the stacking and we'd practice them, once you've learned how to do the stacking, you have to go to Mr. Palmer and ask If you could do the timer thing for the stacking, So I beat their record and I tried so many times until I beat my record, so my record was 4.1.
