Coraline Movie

At the start of the movie Coraline is the most bright object while everything else is a dull dark greyish color. the lighting is cloudy and makes people think as they are watching that something major is about to happen. The real world makes Coraline feel bored and makes Coraline feel lonely as her parents don't pay any attention to her. How ever when Coraline goes to the other world the colors and bright and bold and is very interesting and makes everything look more fun and more alive than they real world as the real world looks dead. The garden in the real world is dark and grey and very unhealthy and looks dead but the fake worlds garden is vibrant and bright but the colors are very unreal and you can tell its fake. The lighting as Coraline walks into the other worlds kitchen is warm and very welcoming as the real worlds kitchen is more of a faded yellow dark type of vibe as the other worlds kitchen is more of a orange peachy warm and welcoming color. 

 

The button eyes are introduced.

After Coraline rejects having buttons as eyes the colors in the other world start getting darker and start getting more scary and the characters as in her fake dad and the fake wybie start acting suspicious and start acting weird and so does the other mother. When Coraline finds out what is going on she heads back home to realise that the other mother has taken her real parents and trapped them so she goes on a mission to save her real parents and the lost souls that were stolen by the other mother. 

    

She then goes through the tunnel to realise that the tunnel is now grey and dark and scary and is way more different then the purple and blue tunnel. When she makes it to the other world the colors are more dark and some bright colors are more of a scary neon type of color. Things start to go down hill and start to fade away slowly but quickly. 

After everything after saving the lost souls and saving her real parents the real world starts to become more bright and starts to grow some color and the neighbours help out with the new garden.

What makes a great leader

During wananga time the year 9's have been working on leaders and what they are good at and what comes with being a leader and here is my opinion on what makes a great leader.

 These are some bullet points on what I think makes a leader and what an leader has.

• Honesty

• They use their CARR values

• Good communication

• Understanding

• Empathetic

• Smart

• Listen to their peoples ideas

• Know what they want and go for it

• Make sure that everybody has an equal right to say

Some leaders that I think are doing a good job would be...

• Jacinda Ardern
• Miss Tozer
• Mr Stock
• Mr Sutton
• My father
• My older sister
• My grandma

What I think

What is the name of the song you you are going? The name of the song is when I look at you.

Who wrote the song? Miley Cyrus.

What is the song about? The song we are singing is about love.

Who is in your group? Addyson, Megan and I.

What is each person doing? We are all singing.

Which part of the song are you working on first? We are working on the first part of the song through to 1 minute and 30 seconds.

How do I feel about performing to the class for the first time? At first I thought to myself that it would be awkward but now I just think well if I cant perform in front of my class how am I going to perform who im older if I wanna be a singer so I changed what I was thinking and I said to myself that I can do it and that I gotta believe in myself so now im not as scared as I was at first.

Describe the screenshots and the angles.

In Coraline shots and angles are used effectively.

For example a long shot is used here to show the new house and all the mysterious things about it.

The director did this to give the movie watcher that there is going to be a lot going on in this house and in the woods behind it. The director also did this to picture things in our head to make us want to watch the movie more.

In Coraline shots and angles are used effectively.

For example a close up shot is used here to show that Coralines father is not paying attention to her and focusing on his work more. The director did this to give us an idea that in the other world the other father focuses on her more often and can do more stuff with his life then sit on a chair and stare at a screen all day.

In Coraline shots and angles are used effectively.

For example a long angle shot is used here to establish the scene. The director did this to give us an idea of the room and the things within it to show its quit fancy. This can be compared to the real world as its less fancy and that the food and lighting is better.

In Coraline shots and angles are used effectively.

For example a long shot is used here to show that Coraline is on a mission to do something by the look on her face and the bravery. The director did this to make us want to know what was going to happen next and what could happen. The director also did this to bring us into the movie more.

Arthritis Research

 

In science we have been working on muscles and joints and a common thing on joints and muscles is Arthritis. something that could possibly destroy someones dream to do stuff depending on how bad it is. Here is a slide show I have made today about Arthritis.

Hope you enjoy.

Theme guide- Coraline

 Looks can be deceiving- In the movie Coraline it shows that at first the other mother looks nice loving and friendly but near the end she starts looking scratched up and evil and not the same and turns out shes trying to take Coraline's soul. The cat also seems scary and not nice but in the end it ends up helping her.

Be grateful for what you have- In the movie Coraline doesn't like her parents as much as a child should because they don't give her much attention and don't focus on her instead they focus on their jobs and don't normally care about what she does but then she meets her other mother and is so happy and starts to wish that it was her real family but then near the end her parents get captured and she has to free them  and the other mother starts to change then Coraline starts to think that she does like her old family and that she wants it back.

Don't be greedy- When Coraline meets the other mother she is happy and feels heard and starts to love it in the other world because shes now getting what she wants her new parents can cook and listen to her when she wants to be heard and she is also able to do more stuff and starts to be greedy but she doesn't realise the things her other parents/real parents do for her and she doesn't realise until they get captured and the other mother turns evil.
