Workshop 4 Colour english 2019

What types of colours are used in this location?

Atmosphere (Mood) - The way your surroundings make you feel

1. District 12 - Beginning
Brown, Green, Nature, Grey, White, Natural palette.

2. The Capitol
Bright colours, Pink, White, Multi-coloured, Metallic palette for buildings,

3. Control Room
Cyan, White, Black, Hologram, Clinical - clean.

How do the different colour palettes change the feel of the story?

District 12 - Dark, old, Gloomy

The Capitol - Crowded, Futuristic, Luxurious

Control Room - Technological, Crisp, Clean

Why has the director used these colours?

District 12 - Life is hard, Poor, struggling

The Capitol - Easy lives, Rich, Living Lavishly, Happy, Healthy, Access to everything.

Control Room - Professional, 

Colour is used effectively to create atmosphere. 

We see this in the two scenes --- District 12 at the beginning and the Capitol as Katniss and Peeta arrive. In District 12 we see a natural palette of browns, greys and greens where as in the capitol the people wear bright colours and a metallic palette of greys, silvers and white is used. This makes us understand that things in District 12 are dark, old and gloomy whilst life in the Capitol easy, crowded and futuristic. The director did this to show the imbalance of Rich vs Poor. This shows life is hard and people are poor in the districts, but in the capitol life is easy.

Boomerangs

Explain the purpose of the activity.

The purpose of this activity is to help us understand the aboriginal culture and the type of artwork they do for their culture and beliefs

Explain the story on your boomerangs, including the meaning of the colours.

The dots on my boomerang are my version of the traditional aboriginal dot paintings that represents a story. The story of mine are about  different cultures all together here in New Zealand. The blue background represents the blue part of the New Zealand flag and the white being the white part of the union jack that is also on the flag.

What went well while painting your boomerang?

Makes us focus more
music during propaganda

Atmosphere - how you feel in a surrounding ( what your mood is)

Foreboding - something evil is going to happen ( or is coming )

Music and silence are used effectively to create a foreboding atmosphere in the Reaping scene. In the reaping scene the tributes from District 12 are selected and we see Katniss volunteer as tribute for her sister. The male tribute selected was Peeta. Silence is used when Effie draws out and reads the tributes names to make us feel like the moment is real to make us focus and draw out the suspense. The director has done this to make the audience worried about who will be chosen. Music was used to introduce the audience to Peeta when his name is drawn. The music is predominantly minor and has a slow tempo which makes us feel sad and worried like Peeta. This is combined with close-up shots of Peeta's worried facial expressions to draw the viewer in.

Keywords: Atmosphere/Mood - how you feel in the surroundings.

• Struggle for power

The director has put the people in simple clothes to show that they are poor and to make us feel bad for them

The director has put us in a situation where we will dislike the people that live in the capital because they live easy and lavishly. They are arrogant because they think better then they are

Life isn't equal in all places

Effie becomes the symbol of rich vs poor

RICH VS POOR PARAGRAPH

In the reaping scene costume is used effectively to show the imbalance between the rich and poor of Panam. For instance, the children of district twelve all look alike in dull, simple and over worn clothing. In contrast, Effie Trinkett arrives wearing bright colours, a large wig and head piece and excessive makeup. This makes the audience feel sorry for the people of district twelve because Effie is a symbol of the wealth in the capital. We see that not everyone lives in poverty. The director did this to show the hard life f those in katniss' home district. Coinciding with this is Effie's behaviour. She is loud, happy and confident while the people of the district are quiet and scared. This can be juxtaposed to the scene where Katniss and Peeta arrive in the capital. In this scene everyone else is rich and clean and they are the different ones.

Method:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the mince and the onion and fry for five minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mince is browned and the onions softened.
2. Add carrot, cook for around one minute, then add tinned tomatoes, tomato puree, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir well and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
3. Place the wholemeal spaghetti in a deep saucepan full of salted boiling water and cook according to packet instructions, then drain.

4. To serve, divide the cooked spaghetti between four dishes, spoon equal portions of Bolognese sauce over each and sprinkle with parsley.

We added broccoli, carrots, chilli beans, sauce & garlic to our recipe whilst cooking which was a lot of added nutrients
