Red,white and blue

use when you have several ideas to convey about a topic

e.g in this image, lighting is used to make the room feel cold, empty and depressing

lighting is used effectively in the shot of the real world kitchen to make it feel dull, depressing and lonely. this is achieved by using a cold light through the cloudy window, the director has chosen this lighting to remind us that Caroline's real world is boring and lifeless compared to the other world behind the door  

in the other kitchen we see more things and a sense of delight,security welcoming.

lighting is used to create this by through the use of a yellow/orange warm light from a bulb above the table. the director has done this to highlight the positive relationship between Caroline and her other parents. whilst her real parents ignore her, the other parents acknowledge and want to spend time with her, this is re-enforced by the contrasting use cold and white light in Caroline's real world 

shot one- colourful,magical, enchanting,bright and dream
shot two- sad, dull, lonely, blank.

lighting in the first shot make's her real world dull and the other wold colourful,magical and enchanting.this is done by using bright colours that bring your eyes attention to them. the directors made the colours like this to make the other world look nicer and Coraline's into a dull,lonely and blank.











      

social studies assessment

we spent a few periods leaning  about a government system of our choose to make a poster/assessment
i made a poster about Hitler

Hitler came to power because of a few reasons including outside events, the strengths of Hitler
and the Nazi Party and the weaknesses of the opposing party.  Firstly Hitler joined the
Nazi power, which gave him a taste of power. One of the other factors with
how Hitler came into power was the Depression of 1929 which created poverty and
unemployment which made the people angry at the Weimar government.
Germans were still angry about the Treaty of Versailles which Hitler promised
he would overturn.
Hitler controlled people by introducing fear into them. While the Jews were never the bad
guys, Hitler made everyone think that they were by making a law that all school teachers
had to teach about the bad things that the Jews apparently do. Unsurprisingly Hitler held
a lot of power, by having the military as backup to him Hitler could kill anyone and everyone that
got in his way. Overpowered by Hitler, everyone just listened and followed Hitler's orders
without saying anything.
