Difficulties when making a treatys

Creation of a class treaty

In social studies, we have been trying to make a class treaty the problems are that people were not understanding each other or having a say so we are the teacher told three students to get in a group and make the treaty so it's easier for some people. It is also difficult for people to disagree with things when there is a lot of people as people have different opinions

 

Soft Material

Sweat shirting

So far in Soft Material I have drawn & cut out my stencil for my jumper. 

It was hard to draw the stencil but I had help and I got through it.

My next steps are to pin it to my chosen fabric then cut it out.

Know your place-William

 In Social study, We have been looking at knowing our place. I have done one when our school opened and the rebuild of the school. Something I found out is when the opened the school and how many people went to the school when it opened.  Something I should add next time is to spend my time to add more info to my work.

Jersey cotton -Sweatshirting

What is Sweatshirting 

The thing that we are doing is sweatshirts. Sweatshirts are made or designed to absorb sweat, so they keep you warm while cooling you down slowly. unless it’s a sweatshirt that is pretty much good to go!

It is not necessary to neaten off the cut edges because they are knitted fabrics and subsequently this particular thing has happened: upwards. however, we have to do zig zag.

This material is washable 

stretchy

Quick to dry

This is made from a fine gauge yarn, jersey from cotton but can also be made from synthetic fibers(The compounds that are used to make these fibers come from raw materials such as petroleum-based chemicals or petrochemicals ).

English:Hunger Games

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

 

Brainstorm-Lower angle- make the subject look bigger or more powerful, dutch tilt-to show katniss emotional

feeling- dizzy, something is not right-has been selected for the reaping, mid-shot-to show some face expressions body language and the background

What is happing in this shot: Katniss has volunteered as tribute in the Hunger Games where most will probably die. she volunteered because her sister was picked and she didn't want her to die.

Themes-struggle for power-it shows that Katniss and primrose are helpless against the reaping, that the district children are going to be killed.

Rich vs Poor- Clothing- Effie Trinket is dressed nicely while Katniss is in a cheap run-down, well-worn clothing. Effie is immune to the reaping because she is from the capital whilst katniss and the children of the District are scared of it. Showes privilege because those in the capital don't have to be reaped for the games.

Hope & Rebellion-see through the 3 finger salute when katniss has finished speaking- becomes a symbol of rebellion later in the story but is the first time we see it, used almost is mourning. Also, Katniss is becoming a figure of Hope for the people in D12.

How do we feel- Dizzy- put in katniss shoes, said for katniss worried because she has a low chance of winning, admire her for taking her sister's place.

Why did the director do this-Till this point we know she hunts and supports her family, she can use a bow. Volunteers to save her from her sister, tells us that she cares about her family- selfless. Knowing that she can already hunt- she might not die in the games. As an audience, we start to understand her and care about her. 

In the reaping scene, camera angles and shots are used effectively to show the theme ‘Rich vs, Poor’. In this scene Katniss volunteers as tribute, in place of her sister, to fight in the Hunger Games. A low angle, dutch tilt is used to show Katniss and Effie standing on the stage after Katniss volunteers. This is used to make the viewer feel dizzy like Katniss who has just risked her life for her family. The low angle shot makes the viewer feel weak and vulnerable like the children watching from District 12. The director did this to help the audience form a bond with Katniss and understand why she will make the choices she does further in the film. It also shows the theme of ‘Rich vs Poor’ because the people of the Districts have to struggle with the realities of being reaped for the games, whilst Capitol citizens like Effie are immune and see it as honour and entertainment. Combined with this is the use of costumes. We see the privilege of Capitol citizens in the bright, exotic and colourful clothing worn by Effie which contrasted to the worn and faded outfits of those in District 12. Overall, the reaping scene shows us ‘Rich vs Poor’ because it emphasizes the privileges of the Capitol and the power they have over the Districts.
