Cooking - Lemon/vanilla cupcakes

Last week in cooking we made cupcakes that were flavoured lemon and also we added some vanilla essence in them, the people that were in my group are Ella, Kya, and also Toni and also including myself so it was a group of 4. and we got 3 each.  We worked together by all having our own jobs to do so that we were not doing nothing and everyone was kept busy,  but sometimes some people weren't doing anything and were just standing there cause our group wasn't that organised. 

Here's my recipe for the lemon cupcakes i made

- 3C self-rising flour
1/2tsp salt
1C unsalted butter, at room temperature
2C White Sugar
4 eggs
1tsp vanilla essence
2Tbs of lemon zest
1C milk
2 1/2Tbs lemon juice

Icing:
150g butter
250g Icing Sugar
1tsp vanilla essence
2tsp hot water
Zest of 1 lemon

-This is a similar pictures of what we made 

This is what my parents thought about my product i made in cooking class

they thought it was alright but maybe a different flavour next time cause they dont really like lemon flavoured cupcakes they rather chocolate or strawberry something similar to that rather then lemon/vanilla. but their other all opinion was good they were thankful that i actually made them something to try for themselves.

My Opinion about the lemon/vanilla cupcakes is that they tasted very nice and I wish I could have more but I couldn't, and also I love the texture it had in them... and they were moist which I liked about them.

Also I dont think there is anything we need to change about it because we done it perfectly fine and we all also worked well together as a group of just girls...

How does 'Lighting & Colour' enhance the story?

Picture 1

Atmosphere - Feel, energy around
Mood - how you feel, emotions
Location - where something is happening.

Lighting -
- 1. natural -  produced in nature, often sun, moon stars, lightening,
- 2. Artificial - man-made light, usually electrical,

Warm - yellow, makes feel safe, warm
Cold -  white/blue tone, makes feel clean, clinical

Bright - Fills room, makes feel happier, safe,
Dull  - fills part of a space only, often creepy/murky

Colour Pallete:
Predominant colours used in the scene.

brainstorm: colour/lighting
What happening ----------> Coraline + her parents having breakfast in the real kitchen - they look
depressed, dull, lifeless

Techniques: lighting - cold,
natural - from cloudy window
dull

colour: - cold
dark, washed out, faded, muted.
- off whites, creams, + yellows.

Effect on viewer - Feels boring, dont want to be there, feel/think - boring dull lifeless,
 - set the mood that real world is boring + empty - makes the other world more appealing.
(theme) - looks can be deceiving - is not actually bad place to be.

Other Techniques - Costume - real parents in simple plain colours + fabrics in dull colours.
Costume/shots/music/setting:


Picture 2 

brainstorm: Colour/Lighting

costume/shots/music/setting

  

Paragraph: 1,,, In the real kitchen scene, colour and lighting were used effectively. Also the real world is sort of boring, and makes you feel like you dont want to be there. The type of shot that was taken is sort of like a medium shot. The colour in the real world is darkened, and also shadowy. Looks like she is staring into a creepy cats eye.  As Coraline stares or talks to the cat, there's sort of a feeling that something else is going. So it is sort of Spooky looking and a spooky as feeling for the audience.

           

Paragraph 2:

In the "Other World" when Coraline first arrives there, She thinks its All nice, and stuff. This angle shot is sort of a long distant. The lighting is also sort of dullish. Coraline's room is sort of dark but has a nice design to it. For me being part of the audience i would think that would be a better room for a kid then what is in the "Real World" With the "Real Mother". The other mother acts all nice and each time Coraline goes back there she starts changing like 10 percent each time then it goes to 30 percent change, and then 50 then 100 and then after all she turns all mean all of a sudden. Into herself that coraline would never have thought of.

Arthritis Research

Cause of Arthritis 

• A reduction in the normal amount of this cartilage tissue cause some forms of arthritis. Normal wear and tear causes OA, one of the most common forms of arthritis. An infection or injury to the joints can exacerbate this natural breakdown of cartilage tissue...

Heart Dissection

Last time in science we were learning how to dissect a pig heart and learn about all the parts of the heart and also learning how we would cut it in different sorts of ways...

Here is 1 photo of it cut open and what colours it is and also what the inside of it looks like...

So that's what the inside of this pig heart looks like. That's it been cut in half...





We dissected hearts because we were learning about them before we dissected and we wanted to know the parts of a heart...
These are the parts of a heart below:
Heart Chambers, Valves, Vessels, Wall and Conduction System. The heart is made up of four chambers. The upper two chambers are called atria (singular: atrium) and the lower two are known as ventricles (singular: ventricle). Muscular walls, called septa or septum, divide the heart into two sides.

Well we did this dissection it was quit fun and i actually to be honest liked doing it... but at first i didn't really wanna do it but once i tried i liked doing it...

Linking themes to the impact of angle, movement and shots

Brainstorm:

• High Angle - Makes the character ' other wybie ' look small, weak and vulnerable.
• POV - Other mother - Dominant and powerful.
• Medium Shot - Gives us some idea of the background but not full.
• Audience  feels - powerful, we are looking down on Wybie through other mothers POV. - Sad/worried for wybie 

- he looks small, sad, innocent.
- first character in other world to suggest something isn't right.

• Directors Purpose - makes us feel sorry for Wybie.

- Makes audience think that maybe the other mother isn't so nice - foreshadowing.

Dutch tilt - dolls point of view.
Paragraph:

In the shot with the other Wybie and the other mother, high  angle shots are used effectively to show the theme ' Looks can be deceiving'. This is demonstrated through a high angle shot from the point of view of the other mother. She is looking down the front porch steps at a scared other Wybie. This makes the audience feel sorry for Wybie and makes the Other Mother seem powerful. The purpose of this scene was to make the audience think that maybe the other mother isn't so nice after all. Combined with the use of lighting, Wybie is in a warm light but surrounded by darkness, the director has created atmosphere of caution- something is not right. This reminds the viewer of a later scene where Coraline is looking up at the other mother in horror as she throws her through a magical portal into a locked room. This shows that looks can be deceiving, because the other mother wasn't nice like Coraline first thought...

The camera angle is called a dutch tilt, is achieved by tilting the camera so the horizon is not level. Used Judiciously, it can provide an unusual or dramatic perspective. In the shot Coraline is sort of crouching down.

New Drawing 2020

Here is a new drawing i have done today of a couple in side love... i dont really know why i chose to do this one but i thought it would of been cool as to give it a shot. so here is the drawing i just had completed and i hope you like it.. something different n also new drawing for 2020 havent done any drawings for almost 2 to 3 weeks now so i thought i would update yous and share a drawing i did right now...

workshop 1 unpacking things and ideas

theme/idea - something that links throughout the story

"looks can be deceiving" 

- things aren't always what they seem

EXAMPLE 1 = the beldam / other mother

- she starts off good and then ends up evil / soul eater / metal spider demon

- shows theme because the other mother changes over time without the audience and Coraline not noticing 

- important to the story because it helps the audience understand Coralines choice when she realises that having everything perfect won't make her happy.

EXAMPLE 2 = other world vs the real world

the other world is a perfect web / trap to catch coraline whereas the real world is boring but safe 

- shows theme because even though the other world seems better in every way, the real world is actually better / safer because it isn't a trap.

- important for her audience to understand why coraline goes back into the real world.

Statement - in coraline, themes and ideas are used effectively

Evidence - for instance, "looks can be deceiving" is shown through the character of the 'Other Mother" the other mother starts out nice but is revealed to be a soul devouring demon.

eXplanation - this makes the audience feel that we shouldnt trust things or people that seem perfect at first glance

eXplanation - this was done to make us feel weary or develop a sence of caution towards a new situation   

eXplanation - coinciding with this is the use of colour to show the "other mother" is becoming more evil, at the start she is surrended by warm colours that makes  us feel safe but by the end it is dark with neon green.

your link - this theme is also shown through the changes in the other world as it is revealed to be a spider web design to catch coraline

P.E

Table tennis:
For table tennis we were versing another student in the class or we either got to verse the teacher
we were learning different techniques and we also were getting faster and faster at it once we got
the hand of it. there was also a rule that went like this.. you had to bounce it once on  your side and
then from then on it couldn't touch the table and if it did you were either out or you got to carry it
on.

Here is a few pictures of what/examples of table tennis
