Hurumanu - Notes/Wonder - Inside Out 2020...

The past weeks we have been watching a movie called Wonder, we have been watching this movie to study a little about what types of camera angles there are, and how they are being used...

Dad/note - "It's like leading a lamb to the slaughter"

Summer/note - "When being given a chance between being right and being kind, choose kind"

Halloween Scene: 42.56...


Body languages - change, now has head held high, walking with confident strides, Interacting with others...

Music - Happy upbeat - Monster Mash, Fast tempo, lots of energy,

When he hears Jack Will saying "if I looked like him I think I'd kill myself" Music tempo gets slow, quiet dynamics to make us focus, use of diegetic sound kits... 

Symbols - Halloween mask-Physical, Barriers between others & Auggie, 
-Star Wars characters Darth Sideous used by Julian to make fun of Auggie...


Jack Will & Julian fight scene: 1.06 - 1.08
- Starts at eye level - Mid/Medium shot, Makes us apart of the convo...

Significant - We see Auggie lose faith in the idea of friendship - If Jack Will can be that mean behind his back, how can he trust others...

Links to the Theme - Popularity & acceptance...
We see this through Jack Will as he says what he knows Julian wants to hear so he doesn't become the target get picked on...

- Sounds are diegetic...
- Low angle hot as boys hit the ground, makes the fight seem dangerous, moves up for the close up of the struggle...

- Dutch tilt & low angle makes Jack Will look more aggressive...
- Music Minor-(Sad), quiet dynamic-creates focus for intense, shot tempo...

- Shot in slow-mo so we see the event more clearly...


The Nature Reserve Fight Scene: 1.29 - 1.32
During the fight, shot used to make Auggie and other friends look bigger-more powerful & the bullies weak & vulnerable...
- music has fast tempo to build intensity...

- Significant - Auggie has grown as a character, he is now willing to stand up for himself...
- Friendship - Auggie now finally feels accepted when the other boys-doesn't have to hide behind a mask anymore


   

Hurumanu - Hauora Learning Reflection...

Aim: The aim of this post is for our/my wellbeing and how it works, and what can happen if one part like Taha Tinana/Physical Wellbeing is not very strong...

Questions:
A conclusion on what the"Whare tapa wha" is and how it illustrates Hauora?

Whare Tapa Wha is about your four walls of Hauora, and how or if one wall comes down, by coming down I mean that if your feeling sad or disturbed, nervous, it could mean that your, 
Taha Wairua/Spiritual Wellbeing or Taha Hinengaro/Emotional & Mental, Is not really healthy, 

This is useful to understand because if your Hauora is down or your sad you can learn off of this and that you know what is correct to have a complete Hauora-Wellbeing...

How did you participate in this lesson??

I participated - okay -  because I focussed but wasn't really going fast on my work I took my time but didn't really finish in the time I was given... 
Next time I will contribute to my work, take some time but not to much time, but enough time to get my work finished in the time I was given...

What is the current state of your Hauora?? 

My Hauora is well and I know this because most of my wellbeings is complete...

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...

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...
