How does lighting & Colour enhance the story?

 How does lighting & Colour' enhance the story?



In this scene, we see that the bug changes the colour of the surroundings by having different colours to their body, the orange lamp that is on the left side of the wall also made the room change colour by the orange lighting. Medium shot and the medium-long shot was used in this picture, for the lighting it is very cold and for the colour is very bright. In this picture, the effect for the viewer is having a clear vision to look at. The director chose this location because it brings bright colour in the film to compare the real world to the other world. 



We see in this second picture that the colour is different from the other world. The colour that we see in this picture is very warm, it has white surrounding blending with a yellow cupboard that looks like the sun is very bright out side. What is happening in this picture is that Coraline is talking about the secret door that she had found, but know on believe her yet.  Her mum and dad are really busy doing work, every night Coraline go to the secret door that she has found. That is when she meets her other mother and other father, in the other world her parents are really nice to her, she always gets what she wants. 


  


This is the scene where Coraline refuses to put the button on her eyes, that’s when she had realised that her other mother from the other world is really scary. The lighting is very cold because the colour that they used in the movie to make this scene is bright purple followed by the red drawers at the background.


What am I learning? I am learning how to describe the lighting and the colour of the movie.

 

How does this work show my learning? This shows my learning by learning how to describe colour and lighting.


What am I wondering as a result of this learning? For the result of this learning, I am wondering how other colour work for the other movie.

(Sexxxy Paragraph) Camera angle and Camera shots

This time on Social study our task was to make a Sexxy paragraph by choosing 4 picture from Coraline scene. I have chosen 4 pictures that are from the scene, once we have finished choosing 4 picture the next thing that we need to do is write a Sexxxy Paragraph. 

Here is the sexxxy paragraph that I have made:



Photos: 

Camera Angle:

S: In Coraline, point of view was used effectively to show the theme of “Looks can be deceiving”. E: For example, this shot we are introduced to Coraline. Point of view and dutch tilt is used to show where the character was standing, looking under a table. X: This made us understand that Coraline is looking for something variable. X: The director did this to show that if its something special is missing doesn’t get tired finding it because soon you will be able to find it. X: Coinciding with the camera angle ( which is the point of view and dutch tilt ) this made the movie better to watch because it feels like that you are in virtual reality. Y: This aspect can be compared to Charlie ( the cat) which found the mouse that was hiding the lost button when Coraline and Beldam where playing hide and seek. 

S: In Coraline, Medium close up was used effectively to show the theme of “Be careful what you wish for”. E: This is demonstrated by medium close-up and close-up where Coraline was standing up beside her other mother. X: This made the audience a little bit creep out because of Coraline who is standing right beside her other mother. It’s a little bit scary because you don’t know what the other mother will do next to Coraline. X: This was done to make us feel nervous and build anxiety in our body. But no need to worry because everything will be alright at the end. X: This work well with the music and the colours that blend with the characters, making the scene more creepy. Y: This scene reminds me of always be thankful for what you have because someday you will probably regret the choice that you thought it was good. 

S: In Coraline close-up was used effectively to show the theme of “Be grateful with what you have”. E: We see this when using the close up to show that Coraline is standing in the door getting attention from his dad (Charlie Jones). X: This makes us understand that Coraline wants attention from his dad who is doing a lot of works, you can tell this because of his eye. X: This was done to tell us to always care of other people that just need a little attention and not ignoring them when they need you. X: Combined with this is the fact that it makes the scene sadder because of the music and that Coraline looks depressed in the background. Y: This aspect can be compared to the other world where his dad is more playful but has evil feelings at the end.          

S: In Coraline medium shot and the medium-long shot was used effectively to show the theme of “Don’t judge the book by its cover”. E: We see this when the dad is trying to talk to Mel jones but the mother doesn’t really care. X: This makes the audience think that her mother doesn’t really like her husband so she just ignores him. X: The purpose of this is to show everyone that even when you are busy doing work make sure to not ignore others. X: Coinciding with this is the fact that her mother looks angry at Coraline and Charlie jones. Y: This aspect can be compared to the other mother which is really kind to Coraline and the other father, but the only bad thing is that she is bad when you don’t follow instruction. Like when she said “Put this button if you want to be in our family”.   


What Am I learning? I am learning to define the language of film using visual & sounds techniques.

How does this show my learning? This shows my learning by Explaining how a camera shots, and sounds and visual techniques are used to help tell the story using the example from the text.

What am I wondering as a result of this learning?  For this result of my learning, I am wondering to learn more about another movie. 

CMM Drill Gauge

In metal, for the past few days, we have started making our project called drill gauge. We have been doing this project since halfway through the term of term 3. The site that we have start using for this is tinkercad. Tinkercad is a site that you can build 3D modeling programs that runs in a web browser. 

When we were making a drill gauge I have notice that in your first try making it there will be a lot of fail. But as you try and try again you will start to success the work or the plan you want to have.  

The first drill gauge that we made was made out of acrylic then after that we made the drill gauge out of alimunium. 

 

Here is the picture of the work that I have made.

Film study 2020

When we have finished watching the movie we had a task that tells us about what work we need to do. We have to 2 tasks to choose from and those are,  The first task that we had to do is create a mind map that shows as many examples from our visual text of one of the themes listed. The second one is Write a theme guide booklet for a student to use whilst viewing. You have to explain how each theme is shown in the film and gives them times to stop and look, quotes and key moment to watch for.

The theme was... 

"Be careful what you wish for" 

"Looks can be deceiving" 

"Be grateful with what you have"

"Don't judge a book by its cover"

The theme that I chose is Looks can be deceiving, I had picked that because sometimes you don't really know if that person is kind or bad, we shall not judges quickly because sometimes they can help us in life.


 
What am I learning? What I'm learning is Analyse the ideas and themes of a film.

How does this work show my learning? This shows my learning by discussing the way a theme or idea is portrayed in the text.

What am I wondering as a result of this learning? What I'm wondering as a result of this learning is that I have taught you some things by just looking in 4 of the themes.
