English II Dutch Tilt

WALT -  "Analyse how film aspects show meaning"

This marks the third DLO I've done for the topic of Film/Visual Language, Honestly, I kinda enjoyed doing the dutch tilt because it's such an interesting shot to me. The fact that once you keep seeing this shot in movies, you'll always know if somethings going to happen and what's likely to happen.

Reflection II Wananga

About my book - The book I've read over the last past weeks is book 4 of the Alex Rider Graphic Novel series whilst waiting for Book 6 as I've read book 5.

Book 4 - Book 4 starts us off with Alex going on a vacation with one of his friends and their family. During their stay at the island where their vacation is at. The hotel sets on fire injuring Alex's friend's dad. Before the hotel set up in flames, Alex had seen an old enemy that he'd seen in book 1. this led him to investigate which lead him to find a number ringing it and hearing the name of a famous person and the voice of that person.

Alex then sets out to try and exposes the famous singer for trying to kill his friend's father.
Throughout the story, we find out that the friend's father was a journalist who was doing a topic on a famous person whose name is Cray.

Cray throughout the world is known as famous singers and the creator of a new console which has higher graphics than any other current console in their world. 
After being picked to try out the console after Alex steals a ticket to sneak into a show that Cray was hosting, Alex sneaks into this big building where we get to see a conversation between a man and Cray. Cray was using the man for information in turn the man would get 2 million dollars for the information he gave Gray. During that part of the book, Cray tells the man his money is in a big class case which on a stall is a case that has his money. When the man opens the case he finds out that it's empty after he opens the case a window-like door closes his exit from exiting from the class case a second later 2 million quarters begin to pour down on the man likely killing him. As Cray kills anyone who gets in his way or has valuable information that he can not let people walk away knowing about.

This the part that I've just passed and I'm currently still continuing the book. So far I'm really enjoying the series and cant wait to read book 6.

Athletics Day II Friday Reflection Post

Last Thursday we had Athletic days. At our school and probably most of all the other schools too. our athletics is split into two groups Competitive and Social I was in Competitive, this was also my first time being in competitive as I've always done Social. The difference between the two is that Competitive starts athletic at the start of period 1 and goes all the way to the end of school while Social has two periods of class before coming out and doing athletics.

The Athletic options I picked for this year were

100m
200m
Shot-put
High-Jump
Long-Jump

Before athletics day if you picked PE as a subject for year 11 you'd do a pre athletic practice. Meaning we'd go out and practice certain events we were taking part in on athletics day. Just to get that bit better at the event. Which I found helped a lot on the actual day of the event.

I fairly enjoyed this year's Athletics. And shockingly enough doing competitive actually gave me the chance to talk to people I normally wouldn't talk to in my year group which was really nice.
The thing I wish I could've changed but I know I cant was the weather. I would have loved for Athletics day to be like last year where the weather was nice and sunny. But in the end, Athletics was still really good.
