Workshop 5 Sound and Music II English

Link to Workshop 5
For this workshop of of the Teachers at our school played 2 songs on his guitar and once he finished said song on Guitar we were to write down in 3 or more words on how that song made us feel.

Song 1 -  Happy, Excited, Energetic (Major or Minor? - Major Cords)

Song 2 -  A sort of sad romantic Itilian vibe of song, Mysterious, Wonderous (Major or Minor - Minor Cords)

-----------------

Major - Upbeat, Louder, Full strings (Full stroke the guitars strings), Contains 1st 3rd 5th.
Minor - Low Beat, Quieter, suspenseful, Mysterious, Romantic.

Tempo - Speed of the beat or how fast the song is being played as.

Dynamic - Variation between the notes, Volume
Diegetic - Music from the enviroment - Natural Music
Non-Diegetic - Soundtracks, Special Effects

-----------------

In the Dystopian Film The Hunger Games made by Gary Ross music is used substatially to suport Theme and Idea of Hope and Rebellion. This is demonstrated during Rue's Death through the minor cords which makes the audiance hold a sort of sadness for Rue's death. The Tempo of the soundtrack that is also playing during this scene is slowly revealing the emontion and grief to which Katniss is feeling. The dynamic of the music when this scene first starts is a soft quiet sound and builds up louder as the scene progresses through. The director did this to make the auidence feel some sort of connection to Katniss in an emotionally charged moment, where Katniss loses hope. This had wroked out well with the following scene after Rue's death where Distrct 11 goes into a Riot.

Theme Guide II English II Film Study

In English, we've been doing a few workshops about themes, costumes, angles and lighting. There are twp groups each group takes a turn, but when one group is up for workshop the other is doing independent work. This is my independent work. I feel proud of this knowing we had limited time to get it done.

Workshop 4 Lighting and Colour II English

Link to our today's workshop

Link

Warm Lights - Orange, yellow, red tinge, Feelings - Cosy, Warm, Welcome

Cold Lights - Blue, Green, White, Feelings - Grey, Clean, Sterile

Colour Palette - All the colours used in that shot E.g District - Natual greens, Blacks, Browns

Key Words - Atmosphere - The mood or feeling of a place. Mood - Feeling. Location - a place where something is set.

Scene Name - District 12
What is happening? - Katniss is running through town to go hunting in the woods

Techniques - Cold Light, Lots of greenery, Dull light, Natural light, Sunlight, Clouds

Effect on the viewer - Cold, Not where you want to be, Back in time, Old fashioned, Lots of poverty, Outdated materials, Live closers to the land

Directors Purpose ( Pick a theme) Rich v Poor - Who was more privilege, power & opportunities -They don't have the privilege of technology - No artificial sources of light. 

Other techniques - Costumes, Greys/Blacks - Coal Miners, Black shoes - less dirt

Name Scene - Train station at the capitol 

What is happening - Capitol citizens are waiting for the tributes to arrive

Techniques - Lighting- Cold, Bright, Artificial- Electricity, Colour palette- Colourful, Vibrant, Vivid Costumes and what/grey modern walls

Effect on the viewer - Modern, Sets the mood- Excited for the tributes

Directors Purpose - Rich v Poor- Power, privilege, & Opportunity - They have access to technology - Trains, the station, 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 watch the tributes arrive

------------------------------

In the scene at the train station, lighting and colour are used substantially to show the theme of 'rich vs poor' in this case, rich means the privileges given to those in the Capitol. This is demonstrated through the use of bright, cold, artificial lighting and a modern colour palette of whites and greys for the buildings and vibrant pinks and blues for the clothing This makes the audience feel like the location is modern and the citizens are excited for the tributes to arrive. The purpose of this was to show that the Capitol has the 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 district. This can be juxtaposed to the conditions in District 12 where there is no electrify and the colours and lighting are more natural.

English II Workshop 3

Workshop 3 - How are costumes used to enhance the story?

Where are these shots from? + What is happening

• Katniss, Effie, Gale, Peeta, D12 Citizens, Primrose, Peace-Keepers
• Beginning
• Costumes D12 - Poor clothing, grey, worn, dull, simple, limited, best clothes for the reaping scene,
• costumes reflect the setting
• Food Source

What themes are we exploring?

• Rich v Poor
• Capitol = Rich ones
• Effie

Describe the features of costume

• bright colours, more designed/fashionable, has makeup, jewellery

-----------------------------

In the reaping scene, Costumes are used effectively to show the theme of Rich v Poor.

We see this when the people of District 12 are waiting for someone to be chosen to represent their District. The lifestyle of District 12 is reflected in the clothes that they wear. These clothes are made of a limited material, they are dull and boring. This makes us understand that costumes represent the theme rich v poor, in the capitol and the Districts. There is a difference between the opportunity, power and privilege between District 12 and the Capitol. The director did this to make the audience understand how costumes can symbolise the inequality between the Capitol and the Districts. This symbolisms combined with a wide shot of the crowd in District 12 and an over the shoulder shot of Effie reveal the lack of opportunity in district 12 and the power of the capitol. This aspect can be contrasted to the character of Effie, she wears a bright pink outfit that has a lot of design behind it revealing the opportunities given to characters in the Capitol.

The Themes of The Hunger Games II English

Themes are an important part of a film as it gives the director an idea of how they will direct the movie.
Some of the themes I noticed throughout The Hunger Games were

• Rich v Poor
• Hope and Rebellion
• Propaganda

Task - Find Quotes from characters in the film and explain why they are important in showing each theme. Present these in a creative way.

Katniss - How will they change you?
Peeta - I Don't know. Turn me into something I'm not. I just don't want to be another piece in their game, you know? 
This quote by mainly Peeta shows and portrays the theme of Propaganda. Propaganda can be seen as a way to control people to your bidding in large groups sort of like Manipulation. When Peeta says this, it shows that he's struggling in his role as a tribute for his district. In the hunger games, a tribute is a sort of like a district's hope Because if someone from said District wins the game it means that the district that person was from gets extra food for their entire district. But because the aim of the Hunger Games is to kill other opposing players from different districts and be the last standing Peeta's having a hard time coping with his role in the game because he's afraid that if he kills people he won't be the same person he was before he entered the games, and would turn into a pawn for the Capitol.

Hope, it is the only thing stronger than fear. A little hope is effective, a lot of hope is dangerous. A spark is fine, as long as it's contained. - President Snow
So... - Seneca Crane
So, Contain it! - President Snow
This quote by mainly President Snow shows us the theme of Hope & Rebellion It gives us an understanding of just how powerful hope is. Because we know the power hope has right from the start, hope can be given or seen in any situation whether it is life-threatening or not. A scene in the hunger games that harbours hope for the players is when Seneca talks of the coms and announces that any district that still has two people left in their district and are the last people standing will automatically make them the winners of the game and the game would end. This gave the players a sense of motivation and hope to continue on and win the game.

Caesar Flickerman - Katniss Everdeen, the girl on fire!
This quote may not seem it but it's hidden them is Hope & Rebellion but mainly Rebellion. In the middle start of the movie and near the ending it's shown that Katniss has a sense of rebelling which can be seen when she shoots the apple in the pig's mouth from down below when up above are judges from the Capitol and near the ending when Katniss cheats the system and decided that if She and Peeta can't both win then they'll leave the game with no winner. This quote may not seem like much to represent but during the tribute parade, Katniss is seen wearing all black and having wings of flames. In Katniss's district, it's seen that most of all the men are all Coal miners. The black of Katniss outfit representing the coal and the flames representing a spark to ignite the coal and in all ignite Katniss's.

Gale Hawthrone - Oh yeah, I forgot something *brings out the bread*
Katniss Everdeen - Oh my God! is this real?
Gale Hawthrone - Better be. It cost me a squirrel.
This quote is a representation of the theme of Rich v Poor and gives us an idea of how poor the districts are, mainly District 12 in this case. In the movie, it is shown that money is rarely used and is only used for things such as cotton or little accessories, while the rest of the needed items someone may need to survive on is bought by trading what you already have for something else. In Gale's case, he traded a dead squirrel for a piece of bread, something which may not seem worth trading for in today's era, but its worth it to them as throughout the start of the movie we get a rundown on how District 12 looks and what the people wear, throughout that scene there is an old man sitting in a chair eating off any chicken that is left on the chicken bone. Nowadays we wouldn't really do that but in their case wasting food isn't an option as it's hard to come by and to obtain unless you have a skill in hunting.

Workshop 2 II Linking themes to the impact of Angle movements II English

The Hunger Games: Katniss and Peeta Reaping Scene
Camera movement details and Camera Angle Details
When it starts off, the camera is moving in a slow but unsteady long shot getting us a good view of the crowd full of district 12.
We get a few medium shots of Katniss
A close-up shot of Katniss on stage
Close up shots of the three-finger salute
A mid shot of Peeta in the crowd
as well as a close up on his face.
A Low Angle looking up at Katniss
And a long shot and dutch tilt from when Katniss yells out that she volunteers for her sister

------------------------
Terms

• Katniss volunteers = Dutch Tilt (Vulnerability) + Long Shot
• High angle on Effie - displays power over the crowd
• Camera is shaky - uncertainty, mid/long
• The costume of Effie is revealed in a close-up
• Katniss and Gale - close up - cutting establishes a connection between characters
• Close-ups of Katniss's face, pre-existing connection between them
• Low angle - flag of Panem

The reaping scene - How do we see themes

Rich v Poor

• Effie's close - close up - showing how rich she is
• Wide shot - Nobody in D12 has any real material wealth
• Compare and contrast - people of District 12 v Capitol

------------------------

Sexxy Paragraph

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. 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. 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.

Hunger Games II English II Film Study

In the movie, The Hunger Game, directed by Gary Ross, Close up shots are used effectively throughout the movie to show how the characters are feeling. For example, when a close-up shot of Katniss at the Tribute Parade is shown with her looking around constantly at a rapid pace. This makes us understand that Katniss is nervous with all the people who she's never seen in her life yelling and cheering at her and others who are present in the parade. The purpose of this is to show the aduiance just how nervous Katniss is about the whole thing. The director did this to give us a feeling on how Katniss felt about the parade and being in it. This worked well with the close up shots of the people in the crowd and a shot of Katniss's face on a banner so we can have a feeling of how she feels during the parade. This can be juxtaposed to the tribute parade in Catching fire where we get another close up shot of Katniss but instead of anoxuis or nervous she's sort of stern becuase she knows whats going on this time around.

Reflection II English II Film Study

Over the last past few weeks in English, we've been focusing on Film Study and the movie The Hunger Games.
When we first started off the hunger games we watched the movie for fun
And the second time we watched it was for details for the Essay we would make on the film.
When we were watching the film for the second time for details we followed a theme. There were four themes that we followed

Themes
Hope & Rebellion
Rich vs Poor
The Struggle For Power
&
The Power Of Propaganda

The first time we rewatched the movie for detail, we went over the difference between the Capitol and District 12. We also went over the reaping scene. For this, we had to add down what we saw, and what we heard.
(We used the theme Rich vs Poor for this)

The second time we watched the movies for details we did a comparison to the reaping scene and the interview at the start of the movie (Tribute Parade) we also added down what the three-finger salute meant in the movie. as well as some camera shots that may have been seen throughout the movie.

The third time we added the themes such as The Struggle For Power, The Power of Propaganda and Hope and Rebellion. we first started off by looking through the three themes, and adding down what we thought was hope or propaganda. We then looked through the quotes that were littered throughout the movie and wrote them down. we then did Hope and Rebellion itself and stuck down the moments that we remember where Katniss either rebelled or when Katniss and Petta experienced hope throughout the movie. and last but not least we looked at the Opening cards and the opening scene. For the Opening cards, we wrote down terms that related to the movie for E.g - Reaping - Where 1 girl and 1 boy are selected from each district to partake in The Hunger Games.
And then, at last, we looked through the opening scene which gave us a small history of the hunger games and a quote.

Hope & Rebellion II Hunger Games II English

Hope & Rebellion 

Hope and Rebellion in The Hunger Games, isn't a much-seen theme but it's still there and it differently goes along with the story and makes up the characters and gives us an insight on things.
There are only a few times where we see hope, one's in the scene of the announcement the game master makes telling the contestants that if two people from the same district are alive then they can win. This gives the players a sense of hope to win the game.
Rebellion can also be seen a bit by katniss as she cheats the system at the near end of the game.

Hunger games II English II Workshop

Themes Workshop
Group 2

Workshop 1 - Unpacking Themes and Idea's
Theme - Rich vs Poor

----------------------

What do I think this theme means? - I think this Rich vs Poor theme is based on the Capitol for its richness, with all their fancy clothes and high tech technology and District 12 for its poorness with their raggy washed out clothes and broken destroyed houses and their ancient ways of technology.

Detail - District 12 is in the past while the Capitol is in the future

----------------------

RICH VS POOR

Class 10 WD
Definiton + Terminology + Money + Acess to food, privileges, technology, assumpitons, life-style


Rich 

• The Capitol - Dialogue, Accent, Posh, Snooty
• Clothing - Colourful, bright neon,
• Buildings - Concrete, glass, metal, 
• Advanced Technology
• Food - Rich food, high quality, many varieties  - Roast pig.
• Setting - Environment = Establish shots
• Posh music, Futuristic
• Children are playing with toys
• Urban

Poor

• D12 = Coal mining - bartering
• Unsafe - Diseases - 
• Illegal hunting - 
• Man Picking bones - 
• Clothing - Simple, Washed out, old fashioned, ragged
• Children are plating in the mud
• Rural
  
  

Paragraph = Follow the sentence starters

In The Hunger Games, Directed by Gary Ross, Costumes are used effectively to show the theme of Rich vs Poor. For example in the Capitol the costumes are very posh, they are neat, tidy, colourful even their dogs are coloured. The material is futuristic and this makes us understand that the Capitol is more advanced than District 12. The Director did this to create a contrast between the costumes, in District 12 the costumes are older, the materials used are natural and well worn. This difference shows that there are privileges to living in the Capitol.

What I think makes a successful paragraph

I think to make a successful paragraph you need to be able to make your statement clear on what you're talking about so people won't be confused and instantly turned off on reading what you've written. I also think it's a good idea to link back to your theme and to the start of your sentence.

 

Rich VS Poor II Hunger Games II English II Film Study

Hunger Games II Film Study II Pt2

Gathering details from the movie: Hunger Games Pt2

Compare the reaping scene and the television show
The reaping was silent and gave off a sad and scared vibe of people who were unwilling.
The Interview at the capitol was loud and full of happy people shouting and cheering.
The only sound you could hear from both scenes (Apart from the video from the capitol in the reaping) were the sounds of people yelling, talking, moving, and cheering.
Everything is brighter at the interview with Katniss than at the reaping.
Katniss seems less nervous and more willing to talk.
The capitols people clothes match their eyelashes, hair and clothes.
Their technology is advanced with three-way screens.
Each Districts outfits are made based on their district in some way.
When peter takes Katniss's hand and lifts their hands up it makes the crowd cheer louder, the man who interviews them says something along the lines of "Their proud to be in district 12!" To the capitol when Katniss and Peter held up to their hands together to gave a sign to the capitol that seemed that they were proud to be playing the hunger games.

What does the three-finger symbol at the reaping represent
The three-finger salute is a symbol within the hunger games
The three-finger salute is a way to give the reaping people hope and that they believe in them
The three-finger salute was used in Thailand
The three-finger salute is also used in America but is named the black lives matter salute and gives a fist instead of three fingers and says that there should be racial equality. (This is used because people aren't happy how things in America are going.)

Rue's DeathThe music is slow and sad to represent and portray the current sense and vibe of Rue's death.

A lot of close up shots on Katniss and Rue.
A point of view shot from rue before she dies.
Everything becomes non-diegetic where only music is heard later on from when Katniss goes to grab Rue flowers for her death bed.
The three-finger salute is down by rue's district to honour her death.
District 11 goes into a riot after Rue's death
During the riot, camera work was shaky and hardly still but some things are still seeable and you are able to tell whats going on.
A lot of yelling and people raging is heard throughout the riot and a tad bit of music to make the scene more dramatic and also to make the scene more interesting
During the riot, there is a montage throughout district 11
During the riot, it starts in the morning and goes to nighttime showing that a lot of time has passed.

Katniss and Peeta
through the near end of the hunger games, it is stated that if two people from the same district live they will automatically win. However, had changed back to only one person winning when only Peeta and Katniss was alive. Because of this

For Katniss performance, there are a lot of close-ups and few over shoulders
As well as a few medium shots
one of the mid shots are between Katniss and the target when Katniss goes to shoot the target
Camera movement is fast when Katniss goes to grab the bow to shoot the apple stuck in the bigs mouth
There's a high angle showering down on katniss before she goes for the apple in the pig showing Katniss as someone inferior to the people in the capitol who are viewing her.

Film study Essay practice (English)

In the film, Coraline Low angle shots are used effectively to establish how vulnerable a character looks from down below.
