Dissusion Group

 Today in English we listened to Mr. Taylor play the guitar. We had to describe how the song he played, Like what time of vibe was it and how it made is feel. For the first one, it seemed like an energetic vibe and Action scene. The 2nd sounded like a Western dessert song, Like a jukebox in a Bar.

Rues Death: Music gets louder to support the theme of hope and rebellion. This is demonstrated when Rue dies through minor chords which makes the viewer feel sad. The tempo of the soundtrack during this scene is slowly revealing the emotion and grief which Katniss is feeling. The dynamic of this scene starts quietly and builds louder as the scene progresses. The director did this to make us have an emotional connection and makes us feel connected to Katniss and she losses hope. This worked well with the following scene where district 11 riots

Workshop 4. Lighting And Colouring

Here is the 
link to our work Instructions 

Atmosphere: The mood or feeling of a place 

Mood: Feeling

Location: Where a place is set

Warm Light- Orange, Yellow or red tinge, cozy, warm, welcome

Cold Light- blue, green, white, grey, makes it feel clean, sterile, modern

Bright Light, Obvious, Feel happy, energetic

Dull Light- Faded/Muted light- boring, lonely, sad, tiresome

Natural, sun, Reflections, moon, stars, lighting, fire- Occur from nature

Artificial, Light Bulbs, screens, LEDs, man-made sources of light, 

Scene Name: District 12

What's Happening? Katniss is running into the woods to go hunting

Cold Lights, lots of greenery, Dull Light, Natural light (Sun Light and clouds)

Effect on the viewer- Cold, Not the place you want to be, Poverty. Outdated Materials, Dirt Floors

Colour Palette, All the colours in this shot are natural eg greens browns and greys

Directors Purpose- Rich vs Poor, Who has more privileges, power and opportunities

Costumes: District 12 has everyday clothes which are black due to the Coal mines, While the Capitol has high-quality clothes.

Train Station At The Capital

What is Happening? The capitol citizens are waiting for the tributes to arrive.

Techniques- Lighting- cold, bright, Artificial- electricity. Colour Palette- Colourful Vibrant, Vivid Costumes and white/grey modern

Effect On The Viewer, Modern, Sets the mood- Exited for the tributes to come, 

Directors Purpose: Rich Vs Poor. What privileges does the capitol have that the districts don't? They have access to technology for eg having trained. Better Clothes. No poverty in Capitol.

Capitol, They don't have to work, Privilege of being able to go and watch the tributes arrive

In the scene at the train station, lighting and colour are used substantially to show the theme of "Rich vs Poor" In this case rich means the privileges given to those in the Capitol. This is demonstrated through the use of bright, cold and artificial lighting and a modern colour palette of whites and greys for the buildings and vibrant pinks and blue for clothing. This makes the audience feel like the location and set a mood of excitement for the tributes to arrive. The purpose of this was to show that the capital has the privilege of technolgy- they have electricity, trains and access to better clothing. This worked well with the use of costumes. The costumes in the capitol are very unique. excrescent  and exotic  which shows they have more variety and sewing technolgy than those of the people in the districts  

The Dangers Of Eavesdropping

Not Based On A True Story


It was just a casual day, laying on the grass, A revolting smell came past me so I decided to go inside. I was walking past the principles office. Before I just caught a snippet of my name. I just couldn't fight the fact that it was compulsory to listen. It sounded like a parent made a complaint to my name I thought to myself what have I done now? I put my ear against the door, Then I ran as fast a Usain bolt cause I heard the doorknob turn, I sat next to the office in fear trembling in my shoes wondering if the teacher knew I was there. I saw the mysterious shadow crawling down the hallway. I screamed very loud in panic literally everyone looked at me, I was walking down the corridor and I heard everyone talking about me not about the fact that I screamed but something else was happening that I was not aware of, I ignored it probably just a rumour. I carried on with my day struggling with everyone talking about, Once again I overheard a student talking about me something about a dog, I asked what it was about, He said look at your back, I sprinted straight to the bathroom and straight away knew what it was it was dog poo, That what that revolting smell. I was lying all into it when I was laying on the grass. I immediately threw up in the toilet knowing I had to live with this for the rest of my life......
