Angles, Movements & Shots

 BrainStorm: Symbol - Effie Trinket - extreme, make-up, wig, hat, overly colourful, and flashy outfit and proper accent.

The Reaping Scene: 

  • Katniss volunteers as tribute when her sister is chosen.
  • The children/parents of the district give her the 3 fingers salute.
  • Peeta is chosen as the male tribute. 
Hope & Rebellion - 3 finger salute - it is a sign of respect for Katniss.

From the people of her district. 

Katniss is a symbol of hope for a district victor.

Katniss is a symbol of rebellion because she steps in for her sister ( a weaker character ) when she is reaped.



Rich vs Poor - Technology - use of blood readers/scanners, projectors. 

District 12 - Children's outfits for reaping are the best clothes, dresses, shirts - collared, boys - shorts or pants, colours of clothes are very faded from washes & reusing.

The village is falling down around them.


Close-Ups - faces - primrose when is reaped - terror, fear

Effie Trinket - Joyful, Confident, Excited - Close-Up of lips when reading names.

Katniss - Panic when primrose is reaped, shock when she stands with Effie.

Peeta - fear, panic, shock.

Shallow Focus - The people in the background are in shallow focus when Primrose & Katniss hug. This forces the viewer to watch the characters in focus.

The viewer feels - Sorry for the tributes - Primrose - it was her first time - Katniss - sh volunteered - self-less act.

Anger towards the capital for the reaping. 

We consider Effie is annoying, happy, stuck-up, clueless.p

Director's Purpose - need to be invested in their journey/suffering.

Need to be angry at capital so that we judge them & their decisions later.

Effie is depicted as a symbol of people in the district, they are clueless - don't see the suffering.

Seaspiracy.

What is shark-finning:    Shark finning at sea enables fishing vessels to increase profitability and increase the number of sharks harvested, as they must only store and transport the fins, by far the most profitable part of the shark: the shark meat is bulky to transport.




Why is it a delicacy:    The cartilage in the fins is usually shredded and used primarily to provide texture and thickening to shark fin soup, a traditional Chinese soup or broth dating back to the Song Dynasty (960-1279). The dish is considered a luxury item embodying notions of hospitality, status, and good fortune

Rusty Nails

 Aim: To investigate the factors that cause rusting in iron.


Equipment: Four test tubes, test tube rack, a bung, four iron nails, boiled water, tap water, saltwater, cooking oil, calcium chloride. 


Method: 1. Label four test tubes A - D and place them in a test tube rack.

               2. Test tube contents: A= Iron nail and tap water.

                                                  B = Iron nail and salty water.

                                                  C = Iron nail, boiled water, oil.

                                                  D = Iron nail and calcium chloride. Sealed with a bung.



Conclusion: Oxygen and water make metal rust quicker, If you seal of the oxygen it will rust slower.
