 How did I feel about the song?

Can't really explain it but like a chill vibe on like a sunny day is the most I could day about the song.This song also give's me a happy vibe also,some sort of energetic feeling.

How did I feel about song 2?

The best way I could describe this song is like when a death has occurred or a sad scene in the film.

In the film hunger games music is used substantially to support the theme hope and rebellion. This is demonstrated when rue dies through minor chords which make the viewer feel sad.The tempo of the sound-track during this scene is slow revealing the emotion and grief which katnis is feeling.The Dynamic of this scene starts quietly and builds louder as the scene progresses.the director did this to make the audience feel connected to katniss in an emotionally charged moment,where katniss loses hope.the worked well with the following scene whjere district 11 riots.

Know your place

In this social studies we have been researching about places around Christchurch.I created a Prezi to tell us about places around Christchurch and where the name Christchurch from.What I've found interesting about places around Christchurch isn't anything to be honest not really interested in anything i've researched (honest opinion).I think I should've added more info about me like where i'm from and my Age but next time because of a sort period time.

Music

This is america:Childish Gambian is the composer of the song.The song is about violence in america and the racism in america.I think the song is alright I wouldn't say the best but it gives us a good understanding about america.

I have a dream:I have a dream is a speech wrote by martin Luther king jr.The speech is about racism also he has a dream that one day the racism will end and the white and the black will combine like a family.

Setting hunger games

 

Lighting and color

 Here's a Link to the instructions for today's work.

Atmosphere-the mood or feeling of a place

Mood-feeling

location:A place of where it is set.

district 12

katniss is running to hunt in the wood.

Techniques:cold light-lots of greenery,Sunlight and clouds.

Effect on the viewer-Cold,not a place you want to be.old fashion,back to time.lots of poverty-Outdated materials,live closer to the land.

Co-lour palette-All the colors used in that shot e.g district,natural,greens,blacks.browns,grey.

Warm light-it is orange yellow or red

Cold-Blue,Green,white.It makes it feel clean,sterile.modern

Bright light-obvious,feel happy,energetic

Dull-Faded or muted light.tired lonely,sad

Natural light-sun,moon,reflections,stars,lightning,Fire

Artificial-Nightclubs,Screens,Man-made sources of light,electricity

Directors purpose-who has more privilege power and opportunity.(rich vs poor)no artificial sources of light.

Other techniques-Costumes grey/black-coal miners,black shoes less dirt.

Name the scene:Train station at the capitol

what's happening:the capitol citizen are waiting for the tributes to arrive.

Techniques-Lighting,Cold,bright,Artificial light-Electricity.Colorful,vibrant,vivid costumes and white and grey.

Effect on the viewer:Makes it feel modern,Set the mood-Happy for the tributes to arrive.

Directors purpose-rich vs poor-Power,privilege and opportunity.better sewing technology because the costumes are better,not poverty in capitol.they don't have to work.privilege of being able to go and to watch the tributes arrive.

In the scene at the train station,lighting and color are used substantially to show the theme rich vs poor.In this case,rich means the privileges given to those on the capitol.This is demonstrated the use of bright,cold artificial lighting and a modern color palette of whites and grey for the buildings and vibrant pinks and blues for the clothing.This makes the audience feel like the location is modern and citizens are excited  for the tributes to arrive.the purpose of this was to show that the capitol has privilege of technology-they have electricity,trains and access to better clothing,This worked well with the use of costumes.the costumes of the capitol are unique,exquisite and exotic which shows they have more variety and sewing technology than those of people in the districts.this can be juxtaposed to the conditions in district 12 where there is no electricity and the colors and lighting are more natural.

reflect on discussion

 In discussion group we talked about costume and how it defines the theme rich v poor.What I learn't is the camera shots about Effie reveals that she has power and privileges over the d-12 people.

P.E

What we did in P.E?In P.e we played netball and the team participated and everyone had a turn with the ball.I think our team was successful because we all passed and communicated as a team.

Hunger games camera shots

Rich vs poor

Rich

Poor

Interview scene: In the interview scene the people from the capital have more designer clothing and a-lot of makeup.The technology that is used is more modern compared to every other district.In the scene also during the reaping there is a blood verifier which determines their identity.and the train that is floating which is really modern. Rich:More opportunities than d-12,more food,better properties,Modern houses,better clothing and makeup.Bigger area than every other district.Rich have more technology better transportation. Medicines:People in the capital aren’t sick and they look healthier than the people from the district’s and the people from the district's look sick and unhealthy and hungry.

Reaping scene: The reaping scene is when people from each district are chosen to play in the hunger games.A girl and a boy from each district are chosen. During the reaping scene there was a video of what happens after the hunger games and the garden scene.In the garden scene the president of the capitol gives speeches and quotes and beliefs for the district's futures. In the garden scene the reason why the scene was placed there is because the flowers and the plants show that there is hope and faith to the district’s. Poor:Less opportunities,no food for example Katniss has to leave the area to hunt for food for their family,old clothes,broken buildings,houses.

In the hunger games,directed by Gray ross,costumes are used effectively to show the theme of rich vs poor.For example in the Capitolthe costumes are very posh,they are neat,tidy,and colourful even dogs are coloured.the material is futuristic and this makes us understand the capitol is more advanced than district 12.

1.“I volunteer!” I gasp. “I volunteer as tribute!”

2.”may the odds be in your favor”

3.”thank you for your consideration”

These quotes are backups for my essay to the audience to know what scene i'm explaining about and so it doesn’t lose track of the reader also.It also gives a better understanding for the reader.9

Statement 

In the Reaping scene in The Hunger Games, the idea of rich v poor is explained through the use of wide shots and close ups. 

Explanation 

The comparison between the wealth of the Capitol, represented by Effie, and the poorness of District 12 is seen in the wide shot of the people gathered at the reaping. 

Example 

A close up shot of Effie reveals quality, colourful make-up and costume. The wide shot of the crowd is used to show that they are forced to be there. This wide shot also shows a lack of colour in the population of District 12’s material and costume to show they are poor.In the high angle shots for example over the shoulder there is a stand out of colour compared to the district 12.Effie stands out more than and we know she has power over d-12 because where she’s from and what she looks like.

Music

 1.Cooke wrote this as a protest song to support the civil rights movement, as black Americans fought for equality. Up to this point, most of his songs were either touching ballads

2.Samuel Cook (January 22, 1931 – December 11, 1964), known professionally as Sam Cooke, was an American singer, songwriter, civil-rights activist and entrepreneur. Influential as a singer, composer, and producer, he is commonly known as the King of Soul for his distinctive vocals and importance within popular music.

3.I think the song was alright,for a racism song and i think it really relates to rasicam and how weak the black power is compared to the white like the white has more rights than black but we are all equal.
