Coraline Essay | Film Study

What's Up Homie's And Other Teacher Homie's, Whats Good?

Going from a cool, calm, collected person to a nasty, spider-like being is a big change in the story and is the main setup for the action toward the end. 

Coraline is set at the Pink Palace where her and her family live, it is quite boring and dull and is raining a lot of the time. They live quite miserable lifes and don’t get along too well. I think the director has given the movie various different routes the movie could go along which has created a lot of excitement, he also uses quite a weird approach on the movie using a plot that nobody would have thought of. Coraline wishes that she could just leave and her wish does come true as she finds the “portal” to the “other world”.

There she meets the “Other Mother” cooking a breakfast ready made for Coraline. It is a very bright setting with heaps of joy and light. If this isn't already weird enough she has a set of buttons instead of eyes. The Other Mother is very friendly unlike her Mother in the original world and is very joyful, I think the director uses this light to make the watcher think as if they're Coraline and get them thinking that this world is very happy and joyful even though it is the complete opposite. Coraline enjoys a few days at her new found home. After staying in the other world for quite some time she notices a few weird things going on, the Other Mother dramatically changes moods if Coraline doesn’t comply or doesnt listen, hence showing the bad side of her personality and how she is not how she actually seems. 

Things gradually get worse and the hints keep popping up that something’s not right it creates a feeling of suspense. The Other Mothers stance first changes followed by the physical attributes and it gets to the point where she doesn't look human anymore and more spider-like, the lighting becomes very dark but also has neon colors incorporated to create a spooky feeling. She starts getting nasty and Coraline is very scared at this point. At some point in the movie the Other Mother (which now looks like a creature from outer space) has taken the key to get out of the other world and Coraline is faced with tasks to get it back, a big part of this is when she has to escape from the cell and save her parents. 

The movie is great and has one of the most intriguing plots in a movie, the mixed use of lighting, shots, sound and angles creates a feeling as if you are in the movie and is very thrilling. The build up of the movie creates an influential feeling of suspense which makes the movie just that one bit better. Overall the movie was a milestone in film and should be praised for the creative genius the piece of writing i've written here proves my statement and gives a strong backup towards the statement. I think they should possibly make a Coraline 2 with how good the first was.

Cannabis Essay

 Hello, 4 weeks ago in Health Vin and I decided to team up. Our tasks were to answer 5 questions of our choice, then describe 3 ways to improve and manage our chosen health issue if you or a friend were to experience it. Explain how it will improve wellbeing in the short term and long term. Then after that, we needed to create an activity or make something that teaches another group or the class about your topic/findings, so we chose to do an essay

Answers to the questions 

1 Cannabis can cause schizophrenia and anxiety it can also heighten your senses (colors might seem brighter and sounds might seem louder) Distort your sense of time Hurt your motor skills and make driving more dangerous.

2 People around you might smoke so you could be forced to smoke or feel forced to smoke because you want to fit in with others around you, people also think it could help them in their daily life so that might be another reason why they chose to smoke weed.

3 In NZ it's medically legal but recreationally illegal, only people with a prescription are able to purchase it. People that have serious conditions such as Cancer and Epilepsy are able to get a prescription

4 You can become addicted after constant abuse of weed, if you're addicted and stop smoking withdrawal symptoms are diminished appetite mood changes irritability sleep difficulties, including insomnia headaches loss of focus cravings for marijuana sweating, including cold sweats chills increased feelings of depression stomach problems.

5 When a person uses marijuana, the principal psychoactive chemical called tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) passes from the lungs (with smoking) or digestive tract (with edibles) into the bloodstream. The blood carries THC to the brain, where it acts on specific cannabinoid receptors. These receptors are predominantly found in areas of the brain associated with concentration, thinking, sensory and time perception, pleasure, memory, and coordination. Overactivation of these areas by THC causes the “high” that people feel. Marijuana use can impair functions such as attention, memory, and learning, and these effects can last up to several days beyond the time of actual “high”.

 

Vin and I worked very well together since we already had a lot of knowledge about weed because we have researched this before, and we also work very well together. I think this was too easy because we were given too much time.

English Water Pollution Essay

The Worldwide Problem: Water Pollution

Written By Kody Davison

What is Water Pollution in New Zealand and  why is it such a big problem?

Water Pollution is a major global problem. Water pollution is the contamination of water, usually as a result of human activities. Water bodies include for example lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers and groundwater. This water can be released into natural water bodies, this can lead to public health problems for people living downstream. They may use the same polluted river water for drinking, bathing or irrigation. In New Zealand in particular agriculture is a big portion of the money income. Cattle are spread widely across New Zealand including near water bodies. As well as the methane from the cattle, the urine of the cattle contains high levels of nitrogen. When they urinate on the paddock, it's too much nitrogen for the grass to be able to benefit from so it seeps down into the groundwater, which then makes its way to the streams, rivers and lakes. 

There are many ways to help stop pollution!

DO NOT pour fat from cooking or any other type of fat, oil, or grease down the sink. 

DO NOT dispose of household chemicals or cleaning products down the sink or toilet. 

DO NOT flush pills, liquid or powder medications or drugs down the toilet. 

Avoid using the toilet as a bin. Most tissues, wrappers, and other paper products should be properly taken care of in a bin. 

DO NOT dispose of these chemicals, motor oil, or other car fluids into the sanitary sewer or storm sewer systems. Both of them end at the river.

Preventing water pollution and conserving water are important to keep a continuing amount of water that is safe to use for ourselves and future generations. With such a low percentage of the earth's water being drinkable (3%) it is very essential to keep water clean and healthy for us humans and wildlife alike to drink.

 

I learned that water is the most valuable resource this earth has and is quickly becoming very hard to get, if we don’t change this soon then the world as we know it will most likely be over. There are simple ways to fix this problem as I learned and I am going to use my knowledge to the best of my ability to help this cause and fight against water pollution.

Dissecting a Pig's Heart

On November 4th we were given the task of dissecting a pigs heart, Why are we dissecting a pigs heart? Most mammals have similar hearts to humans and have the same function as well. Human hearts are made up of 4 chambers each including different parts The four chambers of the heart are attached to major veins or arteries that either bring blood into or carry blood away from the heart. We cut the heart open to look at the parts inside. Overall it was pretty smelly, but still fun. Thanks for reading

What Is Budgeting?

P.E Oct 29 2020

 Today we practised and improved our skills in gymnastics, I practised landing a front flip as I can do one but not land it. I tried many times and failed but towards the end of the session I just barely landed one and I was quite proud of myself, My friend Jayden has god-like flips and can land pretty much everything. I had a lot of fun and overall learned some new things

What is a leader?

 

• 
  Empathetic
• Inclusive

• Non-Opinionated

• Unbiased

• Commitment

• Respect

• Achievement

• Resilience

• Honesty

• Responsibility

• Integrity

• Loyalty

• Confident

• Academically Skilled

I created a video explaining what a leader is, but I don't feel comfortable sharing it. In the video I explained that a leader must be unbiased towards their decisions and be confident in the decisions they have thus far made. I also explained that leaders must show loyalty and trust and show complete honesty. Commitment is also a big factor required in a leader as well as responsibility.

(Unfinished) Coraline Screenshot Explaination.

 In Coraline, camera angles and shots are used effectively to show the theme of looks can be deceiving.

We see this when we are coming out of the circus in the “other” world, this is a low angle shot in a warm looking setting where the “parents” of the “other” world look quite friendly although they are not. This is an example of looks that can be deceiving. Also pictured in this setting we are enclosed between close walls creating a feeling of claustrophobia hence making the scene quite confusing as it is both friendly and quite devious as well.

We notice that the “other” dad is trying to tell us something but he seems to not be able to, this is a close up dutch tilt shot with a dark background resembling the night sky outside. The dad looks whack as and his face is really long and messed up. He’s stretching his face for some reason and unsure why as I’m going off research rather than the movie because I did not have the opportunity to watch it.

BST Innovation Challenge

Today in BST we had to innovate an existing thing to make it better, so me and Vin said just take the sticker off the apple to get rid of some plastic.

Parallel And Series Circuits

Series Circuits

1) 5 Volts

2) 5 Volts 

3) 5 Volts

Circuit Series 

1) 2 Amps Each

2) 1.5 Amps Each

3) Split Into 4 Amps And The Come Back To 12 Amps At The End

Series Circuit

In a series circuit, there is only one path for the current to take. The diagram above shows a battery (consisting of 2 cells) connected to 2 bulbs wired in series. If one of the bulbs in the circuit fails (blows), then the circuit will open and stop working.

Parallel Circuit

In a parallel circuit, the current has more than one way of moving around the circuit. If one of the bulbs fails (blows), the other one will still have a current flowing through it and it will still glow.

still working on it, should be done by next week.

End Of Life Choice Referendum

The End of Life Choice Act 2019 in New Zealand is a law that seeks to give people with a terminal illness the option of requesting assisted dying. ACT New Zealand MP David Seymour entered it into the member's bill ballot on 14 October 2015. Personally if I was the legal age to vote I wouldn't vote at all and I have a hunch many other New Zealanders might be like that to, I see it as cruel but also see it as a big asset and I don't think I could decide between both sides.
