Practice Paragraph

 In the scene where K goes back to his apartment, the aspects of setting and acting were paired effectively to create an idea in the viewer's head. 

The setting throughout the entire scene has a depressing vibe. As K is walking up to his apartment, the corridors are crowded, dark, dull and look rundown. And as he enters his home, it’s all empty. The only furniture is a singular deck and chair in the middle of a bare room. Throughout the scene, if you watch K, he doesn’t really ever raise his head. He looks emotionless but when he does show emotion it is filled with negative energy. He just enters his home, makes food and sits down on his own at his desk. 

The director's purpose in combining these aspects in this scene was to poetry the message that K wasn’t happy with where he currently was. The setting really backed up the mood that he was showing. 

This helps the audience understand that he isn’t happy with his current position. Everything in his surrounding area is worn down, dull and ruined. And even in his apartment, you can see that it’s empty and it looks extremely lonely. 

The combination of the aspects setting and acting was put together extremely well to help show us how sad K is. This gives us the perfect starting point so then we can see the character change and progression throughout the film. As the film moves onward, his mood increases and you can see him looking more “Alive”.

Passion Projects.

 For passion projects this year, I got together in a group with my friends; Kalim, Kayla, Lorelei, Tj & Kaleb. We had a goal to set up / produce a football tournament for the primary school next door. Our driving question was, “How do you set up a football tournament”. We had only just started working on it but then we were faced with the problem of the time limit. If we were to set up this tournament we would have needed more time than we had left which wasn’t going to work. We then had to come together as a group and review our options. After a little bit of discussion, we came to the conclusion that we are now going to work on creating a comedic football video where we have an expectation side then a reality side. Doing this it won't take very long to complete as all we have to do is a film and then edit the video so I think it will be able to be accomplished within the timeframe set. 

For this all we will need is, A football, a phone and we will need to record on the school field. 

Up until now, we haven't recorded anything but we have come up with a document full of different ideas and clips we can record. We will be presenting this through a comedic video. 

"My son's life has become dominated by gaming" Article

The article 

• Do you think this is common behavior for teenagers that game regularly?

No. Hostile behaviour like that isn't normal in gaming. 

• Do you think the advice given to the parent was good advice? Why/why not

I don't think that it is the best idea because there are other things that you can get him to do like find a new hobby. Professio0nal help seems a little excessive. 

• When do you think gaming changes from a healthy to an unhealthy hobby?

When it's a healthy hobby the kid is only spending a small amount of time gaming a day and not playing hostile games especially at the age of 14 as stated in this article. 

• Do you think screen time on social media or on gaming is more addictive?

I think there is more screen time on social media because most people use cellphones which are super practical and you are able to access social media at any time during the day. But also social media you can also get lost in a loop just scrolling through social media. 

Goal Setting, Mark Manson.

 Chapter 1:Why should we have a mixture of specific and general goals?

Specific goals give you something to work towards the entire time but having too many specific goals might make a person do anything within their will to complete it, Cheat, Hurt people, etc...

A general goal is a general idea of something someone wants to achieve so the goal might drift and become misleading.

A good mixture of specific goals and general goals are good because you can have a specific goal to become rich and that will get you excited to achieve that goal which will give you that dedication, but then you also need the general goal to get a supporting job to back that up.

Chapter 2: What do we need to align our goals with? Consider how these affect your goals.

You need to align your goals with your personal values. If you don't it's just a recipe for disaster. People look around and see others doing specific things, working on their goals and then they think that they need to be doing the same and think they will get the same outcome. Sometimes specific goals aren't cut out for specific people but people still try and it ruins their social life, has a bad influence on the area around them or they can become really self-centered, and then that's a whole entire problem in itself.
