Costumes in the hunger games

Scene 1
Reaping scene
Whats happening

• 2 tributes are selected to compete in the hunger games. 
• Best dressed 

Describe costumes 

• Light colours 
• Neutral tones
• Old fashioned
• Simple
• Boys - Dress shirts, pants or shorts               Formal / Sunday best
• Girls - Hair tidy, Dressed or skirts 
• Cold colours 
• Clean
• Faded colours - washed or warn a lot
• Older clothes have been mended

Effect on the viewer 

• Thinks they are poor - because clothes are outdated
• Peace keeper / Effie in new clean outfits
• Think it is a bad living environment - Emotionless all the colour has been drained. 

Directors purpose

• Show the comparison / juxtaposition of the district and the capital
• Shows theme " rich vs poor" because district doesn't have access to resources like new clothing. 

Other Techniques 

• Make-up - Style = Status, Effie's eyelashes are long. 
• Face is white. The district has no make-u - no access or need for it. 

Scene 2

Brainstorm: 

Whats happening 

• in the capital, Katness and Peeta just getting off the train, Have never been there before 

Describe costumes 

• Bright, Colorful, Neon, Extravagant, Vibrant, Over sized
• Looks expensive and more fancy than casual
• Over the top / excessive, more than what they need to be practical  
• Head pieces to match, wigs
• Both genders over the top outfits / wigs / make-up 

Effect on the viewer 

• Think they are rich / Greed / Wealth - have more then us
• Fashion is shocking / scary to viewer - in your face
• Shows us how shocked / different things are for Katniss and Peeta 

Directors purpose 

• Again shows us theme "rich vs poor" the people in the capital live in extreme luxury compared to the poverty of district 12
• People in that capital have everything

Techniques

• Make-up - over the top , caked on so we know they have lots. men / women both wear it
• Setting, Concrete, metal, glass, clean, crisp, futuristic, technologically advanced 

Scene 3

Whats happening

• In the arena of the hunger games

Describe costumes 

• Suitable for fighting 
• Jackets, boots, shirts, long pants 
• Colours that will match the surrounding and help them hide
• Tells us about the climate in the arena 

Effect on the viewer: 

• Feels like they are going to go to war / hunting - all dressed same uniform
• All looks same, everyone has the same advantage 
• Makes us less emotionally attached to the characters 

Directors purpose :

• Rich vs poor  - everyone is finally equal so personal skills become important 
• Struggle for power - Tributes are under the power of the capital, they have no freedom, free will at this point. 

(S) In the reaping scene, costume is used effectively to show the theme 'Rich vs Poor'.
(E) For example, the potential tributes are dressed in formal shirts, skirts and trousers. Their clothes are well worn, weathered and dull.
(X) This makes us understand the people in District 12 are poor because their best clothes are old and faded ' compared to the Captiol representative Effie Trinket.
(X) This is don't to show the Juxtaposition between the extreme wealth of the Captiol and the poverty of those in District 12.
(X) This worked well with the use of make-up as shown by Effie. She has lots of make-up on including long pink eyelashes, an extremely white foundation and pink and gold lips.  This tells the viewer that she is wealthy because she can afford extravagant make-up when those in the District can barley afford clothes. This aspect can be compared to the scene where the tributes arrive off the train in the Captiol. Here we see luxury and excess wealth in the costumes of the Captiol citizens compared to the regs worn by Peeta and Katniss 

Testing for the presence of oxygen

Aim :
To carry out a test for the presence of oxygen gas.

Method:

1. Light your Bunsen burner
2. Add the manganese dioxide to the boiling tube and place it in your test tube rack. 
3. Add 2mL of hydrogen peroxide
4. Light a splint and let it burn for a while 
5. Blow out the splint and insert the glowing embers in the mouth of the test tube. 

Observations:

When we added the hydrogen peroxide the manganese dioxide foamed up about an inch or two and then when we added the glowing splint the oxygen present from the reaction of the hydrogen peroxide and the manganese dioxide it re lit the splint because of the heat from the glowing embers. 

Discussion: 

The manganese dioxide and the hydrogen peroxide are mixed because of the rapid expansion in gas level in the small enclosed space of the boiling tube, it foams up. After that reaction the boiling tube because warm to the touch. 

Conclusion:

So this experiment was very enjoyable and some things came as a surprise like the foaming up and the re lighting of  the splint was pretty cool but overall it was a good experiment.  

Freytags Triangle

What am i learning?
I am learning to analyse the plot to the movie, "Hunger Games"

How does this work show my learning?
This work shows my learning because it shows i understand the timeline / plot of the film and i have presented it is a new interesting way.

What am i wondering as a result of my learning?
I am wondering the length of time it would take to thing of each scene they use in the film.

Art

 

This is my three layer reduction print that i have done during the time period of this term and the end of
last term.  For this we started off by learning and practicing drawing these birds in preparation for our lino
cut. We then had to draw it and then transfer the drawing to a piece of lino for the print. We then had to
figure out what colours we are going to use and then had to cut out the parts we wanted blank. We then
printed one colour and repeated that process for another two colours. I learnt that it is awfully time
consuming to do this but it is also fun.  It came out really well, like the colours work well together and I
got it pretty accurate.

Testing for hydrogen gas

Aim: To show that hydrogen gas is produced when a metal reacts with acid.

Method:

1. Light the Bunsen burner
2. Add your sample of metal to your test tube, add 2mL of acid. 
3. Carefully invert the boiling tube above the test tube containing the metal and acid
4. Hold the test tubes together fr a few minutes, allowing time for the inverted boiling tube to full with gas.  
5. When you thing the tube is full , your lab partner should  light a wooden splint. 
6. Carefully but quickly, tilt the boiling tube full of gas upwards and insert the burning splint into the mouth of the test tube 

Results : 

It fizzed when we added the acid and metal together, and when we put the flaming splint into the test tube, it made a squeaking sound. 

Discussion: 

Well when we started and put the acid and metal together it started fizzing up because of the chemical reaction of metal and acid.  And when we had captured all of the hydrogen in the top that the metal, acid reaction made, and then brought fire to it, it made a screeching sound and that cause of that was the Hydrogen reacting with the oxygen around it when we brought heat into the mix. 

Conclusion: 

When we did it the experiment worked and it did exactly what we expected it to do. And overall it was a really good experiment and it was a great time. 

Hunger games setting

What am I learning? In this i am learning to describe a setting and say why it is relevant in the movie and what impact it has on the viewers.

How does this show my learning? This shows my learning because it shows that I understand the task and it shows that I can point out the relevant settings.

What am I wondering as a result of y learning?  I am wonder what other places have significance in the movie.

My link to my Prezi

1 What went well and why? 

Researching went well for me and i managed to find lots of relevant information. 

Presenting my work in a nice way, it made it look nice and it is all organised. 

2 What didn’t go so well and why?

Researching at the start was difficult because it was hard to find what to search and finding the right sources.

3 If you were to do this again what would you do differently and why?

I would research a wide variety of the places before i choose my set country to do research on. I would manage my time a lot more and get to it instead of messing around and leaving it until the last minute because i cut it really close.

Colour wheel

Last term we made these colour wheels in textiles. For this we got the paper we needed and then we got to choose how we wanted to draw it. I chose to draw mine like this. The big circles are the primary colours then the middle sized circles are the secondary colours and the little circles are the tertiary colours. So the primary colours, if you mix two of them it makes the secondary colours, and if you mix a secondary colour and a primary colour it makes a tertiary colour.

Testing Ph

AIM: To test the pH range of household chemicals

Equipment: A variety of household chemicals, spotting tile, red litmus paper, blue litmus paper, Universal indicator soloution, safety glasses.

Method:
1:add a few drops of each chemical to a spot on your spotting tile. if a subtance is solid or powdered you will need to add a few drops of water before testing it.
2:test the chemicals with the blue and red litmus paper.
3. Test each chemical with a few drops of universal indicator.

Results:

Chemical being tested	Colour in blue litmus paper	Colour in red litmus paper	Colour in Universal indicator
Toilet cleaner	It went red	Nothing	Red
Dish soap	Went red	Nothing	Yellow
Spray n Wipe	Went red	Blue	Blue
Baking soda	Nothing	Nothing	Blue

Discussion: So back we did this experiment we got everything we needed and we got to work. After it was all set up we got to add the indicator into one of each of the little half spheres to tell us what the pH level was. In the next row of treys we added blue litmus paper and if it went red it means its an acid and if it stayed blue it is either a base or a neutral substance. The final one we added red litmus paper and it is the same as the blue but in reverse. With the universal indicator the more red it goes it means the stronger an acid and the more blue - violet it goes it means the stronger the base it is. 

Conclusion:                                                                                       Evidence from the investigation

Chemical being tested	Acid or base
Toilet cleaner	Acid	It went red with indicator and blue litmus paper
Dish soap	Acid	It went red with indicator and blue litmus paper
Spray n Wipe	Base	It went Blue with indicator and Red litmus paper
Baking soda	Base	It went Blue with indicator and Red litmus paper

Neutralisation

Aim:
To Observe A Neutralization reaction.

Equipment: A test tube, Test tube rack, A base, an acid, Dropper, Universal indicator.

Method:
1. Add approximately 1-2mL of Sodium carbonate and place the test tube into the test tube rack. Add 3-5 drops of universal indicator solution.

2. Using a dropper add HCI drop by drop. be careful because adding even a small amount of extra acid can mean you'll miss the neutralization point.

Results and Observations:
When we added the universal indicator it changed colour to the blue for the base, and when we slowly added more and more acid it slowly changed to a green colour. we added to much so it went to yellow then orange but we recovered it with more base to make a green.

Discussion: With this as it was changing colours we could tell if we needed to add more of either the base or acid to be able to neutralize it. as we added it drop by drop we slowly saw it starting to mix but it stayed mostly separate because of the different density's of the solutions.  We tapped the test tube to help speed up that mixing process but it looked cool while doing it. When the solution in the test tube is blue it means it is highly concentrated with a base and with a red it is highly concentrated with the acid and when it is green it means it is 50/50 or close enough of a balance so it is sitting at a neutral point. Neutralization is when a solution is in between being to acidic and being a base. So neutralization is finding that mid point in between them both.

Conclusion: For this ours worked well and we were able to neutralize it.
