English; Symbols

In English, this time our task was to choose from three and I chose tunnel between both worlds the other mother's world and Coraline's world. This is a symbol to the well that we are introduced to around the start of the movie, as we come back to it around the end, to dispose of the key, as well as the other mother's hand. As some people believe that the well is the same portal on the other side that leads to the other mother's world, but it is down the well, some people have noticed the simulatíes between them too, the way they both seem never-ending. I am not the best at theories. As the deeper down the well you look you seem to notice it starts to look like the tunnel through the door to the other mother's world. I may be wrong, so you do not need to belive this at all. So I've found multiple images with the similarities. (This paragraph probably isn't related to the task I was meant to do, I was meant to write about symbols, but the is more like a similarity.)

English; Music in film

In English, we are starting the workshop, and there will be more of them, and this workshop is based on Music in Coraline.

Example;
1. Piece one;
- peaceful fast pace, and happy vibe, cheerful. Full fo uplifting, full of energy
2. Piece two;
- Slow pace, sad sounding, a bit of anger, enjoyable, emotional, it sounds like someone losing someone dear to you and it sounds like the end of something bad, there is kinda a bit of happiness in it.
Music in film
Non-diagetic - not a natural sound e.g music
Diagetic - natural sounds e.g door slamming/footsteps

Tempo - means speed 'how fast?'
fast - creates upbeat
slow - melancholy, sadder, less energy

Chords
Major - happy uplifting
Minor - sad, sinister

Dynamics - Volume 'how loud'
Quiet - makes you focus
Louder -  energy/attention
Starts quiet/get louder - build intensity

Coraline soundtracks
Track 1; Miss Spink & Forcible
Tempo - slow and fast-paced
Chords - Minor
Dynamics - Quiet

Track 2; Carolines dispair
Tempo - Slow
Chords - Minor
Dynamics - Quiet gets louder

Track 3; The beginning
Tempo - Slow
Chords -  Minor
Dynamics - starts quietly then gets louder

Track 4; The Garden scene
Tempo - Starts slow then goes Fast
Chords - Minor
Dynamics - Starts quietly then gets louder

Opening scene; The beginning
Build intensity and sound like a lullaby, made-up words, sung by little kids.

Paragraph Example
In the opening scene, music is used effectively to create an atmosphere. For example, tempo, chords, and dynamics make it feel like a creepy lullaby. The tempo starts slow but then gets faster, which builds intensity. it is in the minor key which makes it feel it sad. This makes the audience think the film will be mysterious, scary, and creepy.



SOST; Moari trades task

In social studies, we have there task to choose from and I chose the one about the mind map, about it because it seemed simple enough. I know there isn't that many details, because i didn't research that much about it.

Home economics; Chicken stir fry

In cooking, we made a chicken stir fry in-out individual groups of four. As we made our very own stir-fries, as the ingredients we used are, chicken, oil sesame - flavor, veg selection, and 2 min noodles(excluded flavor sachet). As some of us in our oven groups did not know how to cook 2 min noodles. As I  think after all the result was great, it tasted great. As our team's work was a bit better than the other lesson. I think I think we need to work on is being consistent on getting all the ingredients together, on cooking the noodles. Overall we did great.

Film study - Coraline Task 1

In English, we are doing a film study on Coraline, and there is a heap of set tasks to complete so there will be more of these types of posts about Coraline. And this is my first task and it is about settings, and the task I chose was a visual response, it was simple enough to do was to write about a certain scene and what I think it's importance means in the film, and I chose the scene down below in the slideshow. I have no idea what is the name so yeah... I hopefully wrote the things I needed to do.

And I forgot to mention in the slideshow is about the rest of the scenery, so here's my take on it, everything seems all gloomy dark and pale and pastel, as the hill seemed as well that they were standing on.

Maths - Geometrocity City

In the past 5 weeks, we have been working on and a class project called Geometrocity City, before pulling the whole city districts together were worked in a group through to 3-4 people. And I worked with Wajihah, Kortney and Tia. There are nine districts in total in the start as a team we worked on the downtown district it took a bit to color it in and discuss where the building should and road etc. After we finished that we chose 2 districts each to do as I finished my first one before everyone else in my group at the time so they decided to give me the third one and the day after I finished my second one as I had one left to do over the holiday that I was meant to do but I didn't I kept forgetting to do it, but I finally did something to my third one a rough layout with no color I wasn't bothered to color it in on that day.  As the holidays passed school began again as we started to construct our 3D shapes for our districts. In the end, we bearly finished our nine districts so some of them had no 3D shapes attached to it, so they looked bare. As in the end, we joined our citie together with the other groups. What do I that should've been changed? Nothing really but needing more time.





IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT! - Horror Story

BEWARE THE CONTAINS BLOOD AND DEATH SO DONT READ, and skip this story.
Continue with caution
I've warned you...



It is all his fault it all ended this way because of HIM.


The present morning
I woke up on the couch as I lunged forwards in shock, my breaths were loud in shock, I placed my
palm of my forehead as I felt the sweat running down my forehead. “Why am I s-sweating?”
I muttered quietly to myself. As I start to drag the blanket off me.
As I walk toward the kitchen to find the light on “Hey are you there?” As I turn to look he is not
there “where are you?” As I turn around I head towards his room with each shaky footsteps I
gain closer to his door as I knock on the door about twice, “are you there?” as I slowly twist
the knob as I hope for the worst as the door starts to slowly creeks open as I slowly pushed
it open. As I take a couple steps into the room as I make to the side of the bedding if find it
messed up and untouched like he went somewhere but where? “I know you are somewhere
stop hiding from me… I am serious come out I know you wouldn't leave in the middle of the
night and not tell it not like you.” 


As crouch down to look under the bed as I lift up the cover as I find he is not there, but I find a
scrunched torn note under his bed “what the?” As I reach out to have it
in my grasp as I finally grasp in my hand, it as I lung up as sit on the side of his bed as I try to
unravel as I flatten it out on my knee. As I closely read my message with a close eye. “He is
gone because of you,” a voice as it echoed throughout the room. As I look up to find the door
slowly closing right in front of my eyes. “Who-Whos there?” I sure as the door slams shut in
an instant. The room temperature starts to drop in an instant for no reason. Why is it so cold?
I question myself. I sat there staring at the door as I fold and hold my arms tightly as I start to
feel something heavy on my two shoulders as if someone placed their hands on me. As a jolt
\of fear starts to run for me for a few quick seconds. As I close my eyes as I slowly turn around
with a shaky mind, as I turned as slowly as I opened my eyes and hope for the worst. “B-but no
one there, who put their hands on my shoulders?” as I turn around once again in a flicker as I
scream my head off in fear as I quickly jolt back as I fall back off the other end of the bed as I hit
my head on the hard concrete wall as I start to lose concousioneses, “g-g-get away from me..”
I whisper with my last breath as my eyes slowly close. As I wake in a shallow small room with
no light, as I start to panic with fear as I cover my eyes to wake up. As I remove my hands from
my face once more, as I look up to see a memory that was lost from last night.

The memory of earlier that night...


I try to pull out my hair to make the pain go away. But I don't seem
to work suddenly I feel no pain, no nothing. It had all seemed to vanish before I could say anything
a tight tug inside me like my spirit was being pulled or split into two away from my body, silence
entered the living room I felt not like myself not more I felt the pull of my mind as someone
possessing my as I look down to my drafty sweaty hands as my arms start to shake my mind
start to lose focus of reality. I let out a quiet scream in my head that no one can hear locked away.
I headed towards the light beaming from the kitchen, as my shaking legs stutter over to the light
I walk off to the tabletop near the oven as shakily open the draw to the sharpened as I knock a
knife out onto the floor as it hits the ground with clash. I start to dig deeper into the draw making
a lot of noise as I hear footsteps echoing behind me as they get closer as I turn really slowly as
I hear a flicker of the switch of the kitchen light being on, “What are you doing up this late?”



“NOTHING THAT CONCERNS YOU!” I charge right toward him with the knife a guttering noise
echoes as it pierced right through his chest and so does my hand as blood trickles down my hand.
With each heavy breath that echoes all around me as I swiftly pulled the knife from his chest, I let
go of the grasp of the knife as it clashed with the tiled floor, as I lean but to jolt right back at him as
I push him on the floor. “HURRY UP AND DIE ALREADY!”  As I start gruesomely punching and
kicking him repeatedly until there is no breath left in him. “P-please s-stop...” as those were his
last words before his last breath was released. As his still warm body laid still on the tiled floor.
As is stared down at him for a few seconds before exiting the kitchen, before walking towards the
bathroom as the door slowly creaked open, as is pushed open as I walked towards the mirror
hanging on a slant against the wall as I looked deeply into the mirror with a devastating grin I start
to laugh like I was going insane as I place both of my icy bloodied hands on the side on my face.
I laughed for as long as I knew. As I was having the night of my life. With each laugh, it got deeper
and deeper as it got quieter.


“I-I did that,” I feel the quilt running through my veins. As tears start running down my face “I'm s- sorry”
I cried. As felt a sharp pain pierced through my chest and right through my heart as I start to cry out in
pain, “please stop this please f-forgive me…” I yell in a loud whimper as the blood trickled down from
my chest as it felt it was his pain I was feeling. As I start to feel a great pain putting pressure on my
chest like the unknown figure was kicking and punching me repeatedly. “It wasn't me who did it please
believe me...” As I start to spit out blood out of my mouth. “NEVER YOU BLOODY LAIR!” He screams
so loud it could nearly burst my eardrums.


What do you think would happen next?


Would you like me to continue?
