Camera Angles - Inside out 2020

Hi everyone, this blog post was meant for last week but unfortunately I didn't post it so I'm posting it now, this post is about all the different types of angles in filming, I and my partner/work buddy took some photos of the different type of angles...






Close up - This angle is used often in films to set a serious mood 
for a scene but often used in a lot of films...

Waist shot - This angle is often used in films for dialogues...

The Long-Wide shot - This shot is not so common but can be used a lot to 
film bigger objects like buildings...

Low Angle Shot - This shot can be used for capturing somethings 
like people, buildings or something to make it look bigger...

The High Angle - This shot is for a higher perspective than a person or object...

P.E Hurumanu - Discus Techniques...

Hello everybody, Today for P.E we learned to or how to throw a discus, with a proper form...
Well, first you will need a discus, and to hold it you will need to hold the discus upside down and on the face of your palm...
If you want to flip it around so that your discus is on the bottom of your hand, you will need to grip it with the tips of your fingers and your thumb so that once you turn it over you can hold it without it falling...

Step 1:
To start off throwing you would need to roll it off from the tip of your Index finger so that when you throw it will not wobble or it will glide spinning like a frisbee...

Step 2:
To actually launch off and where to place your feet, you'll probably need a line to start off, or from the field, you'll need a line...

Hurumanu - Climate change - The Future...



Aim; To look at the different ways we can prevent climate change in the future.



What places will be affected?
Pacific islands, Different places in New Zealand, Places near rivers,

What else do we need to think about?
Building more houses near inland for the people or the area that gets flooded...

What other places around NZ will be affected?
Places near rivers or beaches.

What does this do to our drinking water?
it could get into our drinking water, therefore we get sick from the water we would be drinking...

What are the main concerns?
  1. New or more buildings/houses for people whose houses/buildings got flooded, we would have to build them in new places or inland...
  2. Our drinking water would be affected by the seawater and would be affecting our pure water from the sea flooding our homes or coastal places.

What can we do?
  1.  We could have more electric/hybrid cars?.?
  2.  Use more public transport,  
  3.  Try to use more electricity.   

What is the one, silver bullet solution?
There is no silver bullet solution...


What is the mix of things we need to start doing?
  1. Using solar, on buildings?.? or planting more Trees...   
  2. Keeping away from the fossil-fueled transport vehicles,   
  3. Using more electric public transport...
What are 3 others you can think of?
  1. Build more houses more inland for the people who live on the coast because of how the sea-level would rise... 
  2. Replanting more trees because we already cut down more trees then we must...
  3. Try to not use as much fossil fuels anymore...  
Activities:

Carbon Footprint

Carbon Footprint explained

Dwelling
Water
Recreation
Heating and cooling
Electricity
Transportation
Food
Waste
Air Travel
Consumption

Colour 1: for actions, they are already doing 
Colour 2: for actions that they pledge to undertake in the future

Ecological Handprint The Ecological handprint builds on the concepts from the Carbon Footprint. We will look at the positive actions of:

  1. Transportation
  2. Community
  3. Consumption
  4. Water
  5. Food
  6. Home
  7. Waste


1 Colour: For each action, you are already doing 
2 Colour: For each action, you would like to do in the future

    Hurumanu - Science: Solar Energy...


    Aim: To find out which color attracts the suns heat.

    Hypothesis:

    I think that what will happen with solar energy's or what will happen with one...
    Hypothesis meaning... It means to guess something... but out of the information you already have...
    I think that the black covered cup will heat up the most because of how the heat will or can get threw the black paper but also make the heat stay inside of the surrounding black paper... 

    Materials:

    1.  Three Plastic Cups...
    2.  Tin Foil...
    3. Black paper... 
    4.  White paper...
    5.  Water...
    6. Heat lamp...

    Steps

    1. Collect The Materials...
    2.  Pour the water into the three cups...
    3.  Wrap one Foam Cup in tin foil...
    4.  Wrap the others in the other materials... Black plastic...
    5. Put the materials of the cup, under the cup...
    6. Put the water into all three cups...
    7.   set the heat lamp up so that it can reach all three cups...

    Findings:





    Time 
    Cup 1
    White
    Cup 2
    Black
    Cup 3
    Tinfoil
    0

    18D19D17D
    30
    21D25D23D
    45
    24D26D25D
    This is basically what we have done with the experiment...
    The cups will absorb the heat from the heat lamp,
    So that the water warms up...

    Conclusion

    I have learned to make a heat lamp for solar power or...
    To make water heat up and to see what cup will heat up the fastest with a different material surrounding the cup, I have learned about what the solar energy can do to different.





    Activity:

    In pairs rate the livability of coal vs solar energy.

    Comparing Coal energy with Solar energy ( Rate; 1 = poor to 10 = great)

    Hurumanu - Science - Orana park... Climate change :)

    Aim: The aim is to write about what we enjoyed on the trip we went on to Orana park, and how climate change can affect the animals and their environment...

    Orana Park - On Tuesday three classes from Hornby High School ( HHS ) went to the animal care home called Orana Wildlife Park, including myself, but we were split up into four groups...
    we got to see the lions first we learned how climate change is affecting the Lions habitats,

    Three things I enjoyed about the trip:

    • One thing I enjoyed about going to Orana park was just seeing the animals, because when your at school we don't get to see many animals, and also they are just really fun to learn about them.
    • Seeing the animals was also great... Learning how their environment will or already has changed from climate change by... Deforestation for one, deforestation has made so many problems for changing other animals' habitats and even food sources, but there are a few things that deforestation has done to sorta help the wildlife, like using palm oil.
    •   Being there, To be honest, I have a favorite animal, and my favorite animals are the Giraffe Because they are tall and self less, they have to do really tough stuff too because their height is sorta a weird problem but, the will adapt to there wildlife but they still can still be hunted by many animals...
