Inside Out - Digestive System

In science, we have been learning about the nutrients you need in the body and how you digest it. Our task for this was to create a DLO about the digestive system and what its job is. I created a google slide with information and a diagram to show what I'm talking about. 

Workshop 2 - Inside Out

Linking themes to the impact of Angles, Movement, and Shots. 

Brainstorm: 

What's happening - Wybie standing on stairs outside the house. O. Mother asks him to smile from the doorway, instead, he frowns. 

 - O. Wybie making himself smaller, less of a target, head down, shoulders hunched. Looks week and vulnerable 

Angles/Shot - High angle - Makes Wybie look overpowered, weak and vulnerable 

 - POV - Other mothers make her seem stronger, bigger, more dominant. 

Viewer - makes the viewer feel sorry for / scared for O. Wybie. 

Directer - Hinting at what is it to come. 

              - Hinting that maybe the O. Mother isn't so wonderful. 

Other Techniques - 

 Lighting - Spotlight on Wybie - like he's on the spot / under forces. 

    - Dark around creates a creepy atmosphere. 

In the scene with the O. mother and the O. Wybie, we see high angle shots used to show the theme of 'looks can be deceiving'. We see this when the O. mother asks O. Wybie to smile but he hunches over and frowns instead. This makes the audience feel sorry for the O. Wybie because he looks scared. The use of this high angle shot from the perspective of the O. mother adds to this feeling as it makes the O. mother look weak and vulnerable. The director did this to foreshadow the change. 

Dissection - Inside Out

Pigs Heart Dissection 

Yesterday in Biology, we have been learning about the parts of a human body and how each part works. This week we were learning how the blood flows through the body and how the heart contributes to this. Our task was to cut open a pigs heart and find the different things inside the heart that pump the blood through the body. 

The heart is one of the most important parts of your body, the reason being is that it pumps the blood right through the body so that each part of your body works. 

There are many parts to the heart, here is what they are and what they mean: 

 Atrium - Upper chamber of the heart that receives blood. 

Ventricle - Bottom v-shaped of heart, sends blood away. 

Aorta - Takes blood away from the heart to rest the body. 

Vena Cava - A large vain carrying deoxygenated blood into the heart from the body. 

Inside Out - Workshop 3

How does 'lighting & color' enhance the story 

Vocab - 

 atmosphere - Feel in space, the energy around you 

 Mood - how you feel 

 Location - place something is happening 

 Lighting - 

  Natural - Light that comes from nature - sun, moon, stars, lightning & fire. 

  Artificial - Man-made light source - Light bulbs, electricity. 

  Warm Light - Yellow/Orange tone. 

  Cold light - Blue/White, clean and clinical 

  Bright - Fills the space so not many shadows. 

  Dull - Fills half the space, makes things feel faded or muted. 

 Colour - Colour Palette - What are the predominant colors used. 

  Warm Colour - Warm welcoming friendly colors

  Cold Colour - Depressed, sad, isolated chilly, lonely. (Links with clean and clinical) 

 Brainstorm: Lighting/Colour 

 

 What's happening - Coraline and her real parents are having breakfast in the real kitchen. 

  - Looks rushed, tired 

 OS - Coraline's other parents eating dinner in the other kitchen. 

  - Everyone seems happy.

 Describe - Lighting - Natural light coming through the window, 

  - Cold lighting - White tone, 

  - Bright - wide space brightens. 

OS - Artificial ceiling light. 

  - Warm lighting, yellow/orange tone. 

  - Dull doesn't fill up full space. 

 

 Colors - White, yellowish, cream, dirty white. 

  - Cold - Makes space feel tired. 

 OS - Red, Orange, white, black. 

  - Warm colors. 

  - Happy, safe, welcoming. 

 Viewer - (Feel or think) - Boring, Dull, Sad. 

  - Not so much a happy family. 

  - Coraline is unhappy. 

 OS - Compacted, interesting, welcoming. 

  - Coraline is happy to be there. 

 Directors Purpose - Makes another world more appealing 

  - Coraline doesn't like the real world. 

 OS - Shows that 'looks can be deceiving' because their family looks happy and but they aren't' actually, who they say they are. 

 Other Techniques - Camera angles 

  - Music 

  - Costumes / Make up 

  - Background / Setting

 Setting - Furniture looks old. 

  - Looks like no one lives there. 

  - Empty and old. 

 

 OS Costumes - Looks comfy, formal, and fashionable. 

  - Tight fit, better looking. 

 In the kitchen of the real world, lighting and color are used effectictivly and shows that looks can be deceiving. 

SEXXXY PARAGRAPH - 

 Lighting and color are used effectively in both worlds in the movie Coraline. We see this when the lighting and color changed when showing differents shots of the real world and the other world. This makes us understand why Coraline likes the other wold rather than the real world, and how overpowered the other mother is. The purpose of this was to hook Coraline into the world she has always wanted, and make her choose between the real world and the other world. This worked well with the purpose of trying to convince Coraline to stay in the other world. This can be juxtaposed to the real world tired boring and unwelcoming and the other world happy, welcoming, and safe, they have completely different lighting and color aspects which make the places feel very different. 

   

Respect @ Hornby High

In the past few weeks since starting 2020, we have been learning about what respect looks like, feels like and sounds like. To me respect means, treating people the way you want to be treated. Respect is really important, not just to people, but to everyone and everything! Respect is something that should be shown all day everyday.

Today we looked at, how we respect animals, environment and possessions, we made a table on all the things the groups came up with.

Remember a smiple smile can change something ;
