Co-construct a SEXXXYparagraph
In the scene were Auggie cries to his mother about being bullied, Colour and lighting are used to create an atmosphere of sympathy we see this through the use of warm and dull colours in the shot. These make the space feel safe and comfortable for Auggie to express his emotions. this makes us understand how Auggie is feeling miserable, oppressed and depressed because he looks different from his peers. he askes his mum "will it always matter" Which is a feeling most of the audience can relate too. This was done to show the theme of the importance of friendship and family because Auggie learns resilience by talking issues through his mum. Combined with this is the use of close up shots to show the emotions and tears on Auggie's face. The viewer of a moment later in the story where Auggie is upset because of his sister Via doesn't want him to go to her play. Just like this scene, Auggie runs to his room upset and a member of his family comes to reassure him.

Workshop 2 Impact of angles, movements & shots
Shot 1- jack and Julien are fighting because Julien called Auggie a freak so Jack chose to stand up for Auggie
Shots/angles- Dutch tilt something is wrong
Low angle- makes person on top look stronger Jack & makes the person below look weak and venerable.
Viewers reaction- Shocked, concerned, worried, surprised
Uses techniques to build or concern/shock
Other techniques
slow-motion used to show us the details of the fight - to fast otherwise
Music minor, slow tempo, dynamics increase from quiet to help us focus and create atmosphere.
co-construct our Sexxxy paragraph
S- in the fight scene between Julien and Jack, camera angles are used effectively to draw the viewer into the scene.
E- this is demonstrated through the use of low angles, close-ups, and Dutch tilt shots. The low angle shot makes the person on top jack look strong and more aggressive and the person Julian on the bottom look weak and venerable.
X- This makes the audience concerned, shocked and surprised because up to this point Jack always agreed with Julian.
X-The director did this to draw the viewer into the event and highlight Jack's struggle to choose between being right or being popular.
X-combined with this is the use of slow-motion and music which helps us to see details on the characters' faces and recognize their emotional reactions.
Y-This can be composed of close up shots of the start of the film when we first meet Auggie. They are both used to show us a small part of a bigger moment.

Ginger gems
Ginger gems
Hello, everyone welcome back to another blog post. Yesterday we were in the kitchen cooking Ginger gem witch tasted amazing they had a nice golden brown color and a nice crunchie outside a moist soft center.
Our group worked pretty well but sometimes people in our group just stood there doing nothing. Also, we didn't read the recipe correctly and put the wrong amount of butter in the bowl so we had to separate the butter so we had the right amount for each part of the recipe. Our teacher told us to put the oven on fan bake 200c but a person in our group put the oven on fan bake 210c but other than that we did well. They tasted pretty good but they had small parts of raw areas.
I hope you enjoyed my blog see you next time.

We had to answer these questions for the reflection
What went well/good in the previous lesson?
The lesson was good every contributed, No arguments and everyone had fun and enjoyed themselves.
and no one they water balloons at each other on purpose.
What did not go well in the previous lesson?
The weather was really windy so we had to do all of our activities inside because we tried to do it outside and all of the materials were frying away.
how did you display kindness? goals?
I displayed kindness by listening when the teacher and students were explaining what to do. My goal was to throw the water balloons the furthest.

Music/sound:
Diegetic ground control talking over the radio, Gives us the idea we are in space.
Music tempo starts slowly with quite dynamic to match the slow-mo of outer space tempo picks up when we see Auggie in his room.

Astronaut helmet represents the physical barrier Auggie puts between himself and others even when its off people don't really see him.
Auggie Dad Nate - it's like leading a lamb to the slaughter.
Science classroom scene 7:30s - 9:28
Camera angle/shot- open high angle wide shot, makes the room look big and scary and the students look weak and venerable.
Body language- Auggie walked with shoulders hunched, slouched posture, head down this makes him look smaller and weaker. trying not to be noticed.
Auggies first class: 14:31s -
Camera shot/angle: Over the shoulder eye level between Julian and Auggie cuts between close-ups of Auggie to show emotions and a mid-shot of Julian and the rest of the class to make it feel that Auggie is alone.

-Auggie has a padawan braid. (apprentice jeti)
Starwars moments
- Chewbacca 32:40 Shows us Auggie understands why people but how he wishes they'd deal with it.
everyone in the star wars universe looks strange/ weird and deformed so no one treats them differently this would be a safe place in Auggie because no one would stare.
