the hunger games thingy

BRAIN STORM:


PICTURE 1


WHATS HAPPENING?
- reapping scene - 2 tributes selected to complete in the hunger games.
                         - best dressed
describe costumes - light colours, neutral tones, old fashion, simple,
                              - boys - shirts, pants, shorts           } Sunday best
                              - girls - hair tidy dresses or skirts  } Sunday best
                              - colours - cold, clean, faded - washed out and worn a lot
                              - older clothes mended

EFFECT ON VIEWER:
- think they are poor - because clothes are outdated
                                  - peacekeepers/Effie in new clean out =fits

- think it is a bad living - emotionless, all the colour has been drained

- director purpose -  show the comparison/juxtaposition  of the district to the capital 
                             - shows theme 'rich vs poor' because district doesn't have  access to recourse like                                    new clothing               

OTHER TECHNIQUES:
- make up - style=status - Effie eye lashes are long + pink and her face is white. the district has no access or need for it



PICTURE 2

WHATS HAPPENING?
- in the capital, katniss + peeta just getting off the train, have never been there before.

DESCRIBE COSTUMES:
- bright colourful, neon, extravagant, vibrant, over-sized
- looks expensive and more fancy than casual
- over the top - excessive, more than needed to be piratical.
- head pieces to match, wigs.
- both genders over  the top outfits/wigs/make-up

EFFECT ON THE VIEWER:
- think they are rich
- fashion is shocking/ scary to the viewer - in your face and out there -  they have more then us
- think they are greedy
- show us how shocked/different things are for katniss and peeta

DIRECTOR PURPOSE:
- again shows the 'rich vs poor' - the people in the capital live in exteme luxary compared to the poverty of district 12
- people in the capital have everything

OTHER TECHNIQUES:
- MAKE-UP - over the top - caked on so we know they have lots of it, men and woman are both wearing it.

- SETTING - concrete, metal, glass, clean, crisp, futuristic, technologically advanced.




PICTURE 3

WHATS HAPPENING?
- in the arena of the hunger games

DESCRIBE THE COSTUMES:
- piratical clothes - suitable for fighting
                             - jackets, boots, shirts, long pants
                             - colours that will match surroundings - help them hide
                             - tells us about the area climate
                             - not going far as not much

EFFECT ON VIEWER:
- feels like they are dressed for war/hunting - all dressed same uniform.
- all look same - everyone has the same advantage.
                         - makes us less emotionally attached to individuals

DIRECTORS PURPOSE:
- rich vs poor - everyone is finally equal so personal skills become important.
- power - tributes are under the power of the capital, they have freedom/free will at this point

burn Mg

AIM: to make a metal oxide and observe the difference in properties of the product compared to the reactants

EQUIPMENT: a piece of magnesium, Bunsen burner, safety glasses, metal scissor tongs

METHOD:

1) light your Bunsen burner

2) hold you piece of magnesium in the scissor tongs. ensure you are holding onto the very tip pf the magnesium.

3) place the other end of the magnesium into the Bunsen flame

4)when the magnesium begins to burn, do not look directly at it, as the light emitted can permanently damage your eyes. 

RESULTS: i saw a bright light

DISCUSSION:when a metal reacts with oxygen it forms a metal oxide, and in this experiment we made magnesium oxide, it gave off a bright light.

CONCLUSION: this worked because it gave a bright light like it was meant to 

testing pH levels

AIM: to test the pH of a range of household chemicals.

EQUIPMENT: a variety of household chemicals, spotting tile, red litmus paper, blue litmus paper, universal indicator solution, safety glasses.

METHOD: 
1) add a few drops of each chemical to a spot on your spotting tile. if a substance is solid or powered you will need to mix it with a few drops of water before testing it.

2) test the chemicals with both red and blue litmus paper.

3) test each chemical with a few drops of universal indicator.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: 
1) dish washing power. I believe that this is a base as in all of the tests i did the colour was a blue and on the pH scale that means it is a weak base

2) vinegar. I believe that this is a mild acid because all of the tests I ran the colour was orange, indicating that it has a ph level of 3-5

3) baking soda. I also believe that this is a strong acid, because with the indicators came back with a strong red colour, with a predicted 1-3 on a Ph scale

CONCLUSION:
this experiment worked because colours were shown when they were meant to, as shown in this photo, curtsy to Mr Heath
